President Donald Trump said Thursday the Justice Department would investigate the case of actor Jussie Smollett, calling it an “embarrassment to our nation.”
In a tweet, Mr. Trump said the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department would review the “outrageous Jussie Smollett case in Chicago.”
People still acting surprised or shocked at the blatant and constant double standards of this society.
Govern and stop meddling in people’s affairs. trump!!!
IFixedIt National Embarrassment calls the handling of the case against 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett for allegedly faking a hate crime 'an embarrassment to the nation'
This Hollywood Idiot had the audacity to say after he got off of 16 felonies charges because of obstruction by the Obamas couldn’t just apologize had to say he is innocent and the victim a pathological liar hope the FBI investigates The DOJ should expect a call from the Obamas
Black privileged is too much unchallenged in America.
The prosecutor or whomever responsible should be tarred and feathered and led through town by the Nigerian brothers... absurdity JussieSmollett
Trump have you and your friends investigated for the rape of 13 year old girls.
Hahahahaha all this scumbag privileged shit wanted was money for himself. Has wound up being ousted as the national disgrace he is by our president! Just stop lying.
REALLY🤷 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 NEXT!!
So is releasing a summary of the Mueller report that reminds one of the physical assessments released by your doctors.
We agree.
Trump is an embarrassment to the nation and the news focus on Smollet is a Godsend to Trump.
Are tweets executive orders?
✍🏽Your election, tenure, and Twitter Feed is an embarrassment to the nation
FYI...Embarrassment to this Nation & Democracy is In 'Simple' Terms: Out-of-Control, Irrational, Nasty, Uninformed, Tale-Telling, Hate-Mongering, Narcissistic, Megalomaniacal, Con-Man, Showman, & Bully-in-Chief & WH (White-Lies House) Admin., & $pinele$$-Enabling Senate Minion$!
Chicago politics
It is an embarrassment. Justice for sale to the powerful.
Glad to see the FBI stepping in and investigating Smollett’s hate crime.
It is, but this is kind of like the pot calling out the kettle.
He will not be making this his 'Central Park Five' request for the death penalty.
Trump is an embarrassment to this nation. No quotes.
That's funny! That comment coming from the biggest embarrassment to the nation. The one truth about DT is that he always projects his real feelings. You just have to read between the lines.
Black privilege.
Dotard Donny is exactly this nations embarrassment. Look in the mirror. Stop pointing fingers and explain your healthcare replacement? You sound like a broken record!! Stop insulting the people’s intelligence. WTF is you plan genius‼️A bruised ego, so what!
DA didn’t do a favor for Jussie after all. It will be more devastating than had he pleaded guilty.
Black Hollywood Privilege.
you can pay off the courts when your super rich
It's funny seeing the only ones supporting jussie and hating justice are blacks. Hahahaha and you say blm? When you support liars? Hahahaha! keepyourselfenslaved
The FBI? Do we trust them yet?
Why he no say that about Robert Kraft? Oh, wait he's white.
I wonder between Smollett and DT who's committed more serious crimes. The jury is out.
I guess smollett made an enemy out of 45 !!
Don’t repeat, investigate. Who placed a call to the prosecutor?
Go get him realDonaldTrump FBI
We have but one true embarrassment to the Nation. His name is Demon Trump. Who would have thought he would need “in his need of needs” to address this to somehow scrap some racial bias off of it to feed to his disgusting base of haters.
He is right
... shame on obama!!!!!
Disgusting
Admittedly, I can't say that I entirely agree with the verdict. That being said, I'm very uneasy about a sitting President attempting to overrule a court's decision in order to go after a private citizen.
same for Robert Kraft but he is in the Billionaire Club.
Send in the Feds
Smollett case handled just like FBI handled Clinton email crimes! Democrat justice.....none!
Agree. Needs to be investigated outside of Chicago
tRump is the embarrassment to this nation.
Oh, are we no longer embarrassed about the rich white guy in Florida that got probation for raping under aged girls? I think Jussie is on the low end of national embarrassment.
Donald 'Don the Con' Trump definitely looking at expanding the members of the club of people,embarrassing and shaming American values
Oh you have got to be fucking kidding me
First 'Avenitti' now Smollett'!!!!!!!!
See Alanis, this is irony.
So not being charged does not equal being innocent?!?! Shocked
He has a point. But trump is an embarrassment and the Republicans wont do anything about him. The country is going to hell and trump us leading the way.
Our hole system is corrupt to the core and 🇺🇸 should realize that unless action is taken our Nation is being destroyed from within as corruption, hatred & ignorance becomes the norm!!!
Now, the President of the most powerful country on earth has picked up an individual to go against her or him. This president really has a culture and is very busy.
Still less embarrassing than the handling of the Epstein case
Takes one to know one I guess
Local owner of massive glass house starts lobbing bricks.
It takes an Embarrassment to Know One!
Bc it is. America went from one of the most democratic countries on earth to a semi regime which treats people according to their political affiliation. No matter if you like/don‘t like Trump Smollett needs to recieve his well deserved punishment
he's right
Is Trump implying or suggesting a new assignment for Mueller ?
SA does favors for friends, so does CPD - I was told this was a hotpotato they wont even question him - You can't press charges against son of Police in Chicago 2 women at least have restraining orders against him.
Obstruction of justice
Of course Trump is the embarrassment. Smollett is just a brat whom we all want to forget about.
Why not put some of that outrage into the Chicago Police killing black men and all the young black kids that die each year through gun violence in Chicago. Not channeling into those urgencies is a hate crime within itself. Trump you are a disgrace to America.
Holy crap. Trump actually said something truthful. I never thought I’d see the day.
Something needs to be done or this will be the new standard. 16 hr of community service for 16 felony counts.
Fuck. Don't make me agree with him.
Al Capone justice.
You people really think this is a good use of FBI resources? If Smollet is lying monies were already wasted, why waste more? Why investigate these police shootings of unarmed black men? You guys are hypocrites.
Projection. Always.
Narrator: He's not wrong.
It is. Clearly the system was rigged in the celebrities favor. JussieSmollett should go to jail. JussieSmollettHoax
Winter is coming Jessie
Carter 5♠️
Smollett's an embarrassment to this nation? I don't think so. You might want to look in the mirror for the biggest embarrassment to this country.
Can't wait to see the inevitable corruption charges and media *collusion* revealed from this *actual* crime.
He sure finds ways to get involved when there’s a black man at the center of something.♠️
This is what the President of the United States is doing 🤦♀️
Is he wrong?
u know what else is an embarassment to the nation? trump.
Trump has a point here.
Well. He ain't wrong (on this)
Smollet's attorney was on the Today show this morning. Like an episode of the Twilight Zone. Do they really think people are this stupid?
Agrees.
Trump's not wrong (for once).
The walking talking embarrassment to our nation needs to slow his roll.
Trump pardoned Joe Arpaio for far worse crimes. Why get involved?
According to the foremost expert on embarrassing the nation.
Tell trump and his supporters to kiss his ass
Well, trump is a bigot so...
Juicy Smollett is so radioactive to the Democrats that he is too toxic to fail.
True.
Translation- Trump is right Again
