Jussie...the investigation into your attack continues. It must make Mr. Smollett feel very good, that the investigation about his attack continues. The Chicago PD, and Special Prosecutor are determined that someone will face jail time in this situation.
Wonder how much longer its going to be before we hear if anythings going to happen with the investigation into the letter by the FBI.

'Law & Order: SVU' Fans Shocked by 'Awesome' Jussie Smollett Inspired Episode

Okay, who else watched it? I did. It wasn't exactly like JS and Chicago, I was waiting for "Mathis" to say he was going to get a sandwich when he got out of the limousine.

I guess that the writers couldn't do it "exactly" like JS. That would have been too hilarious. SVU is supposed to be serious.

That being said, I am waiting for the JS situation to be made into a series or movie. I can just see the Osundario Brothers, played by themselves, of course, this could be their big Hollywood break. JS, can't be played by himself, so, I vote for "Ru-Paul".

I watched it too. I thought it was a well done episode but very sympathetic. Major differences are that the predator actually existed in the SVU scenario and you could kind of see why someone would fake it so that he could be caught.

I thought Ice-T was kind of giving Jussie more credit than I think he deserves when he was telling the character that he had obviously done this because he'd been hurt in similar ways or something like that.

Lawyers for Jussie Smollett say bill to investigate alleged hate crime is city’s problem

Lawyers for Jussie Smollett say the former “Empire” actor could never have foreseen that Chicago police would investigate his claims of a brutal hate crime attack so thoroughly — and therefore he shouldn’t be stuck with the bill.
.....
How dare they do a thorough investigation.

Indeed, the nerve!!

It's almost like the lawyer's defense is "He didn't expect that anyone was going to take him seriously"!

...Well, conservatively 85% of the population of the Internet-connected world, could've told JS' counsel that to begin with.

Of course JS wanted people to believe his slurs unquestionably and not have to provide any evidence. He's carried on his entire "defense" exactly like this. Is there any perpetrator of a fake hate crime out there who doesn't hope people will merely take their word for it and do zero investigation?

Well, Kim Foxx sure tried! "Nothing to see here folks".

Jussie is the gift that keeps giving. I don't think that JS has a bottomless purse to keep funding his celebrity attorneys. He seemed to spend money as fast as he made it when he was on "Empire". He is definitely no Bill Cosby, he doesn't have the endless money stream. And it doesn't seem that moving to California has helped his career.

BBM Hahaha! Jussie got jokes.

“The pleadings are just the city’s side of the story. Now, Mr. Smollett will get to present his side of the case," Quinlan said. "Mr. Smollett has always maintained his innocence and is eager to have the complete facts of the case come out. He looks forward to taking depositions and otherwise bringing to light many of the facts that have been overlooked in the court of public opinion to date.”

Love this quote from the article:

"Smollett himself did not direct Chicago police to spend weeks investigating his claim and could not have known how much time and money would be spent.".

So, now it is the fault of the Chicago PD? Because they vigorously investigated a hate crime against a homosexual, black actor? Were they just supposed to show up, write a report and move on?

I am still waiting for the federal terrorism charges by the post master for using the mail to send pretend anthrax to the studio. Crickets....

BBM. Heck, I'm wondering about that mail investigation. I haven't heard anything about it for months now. It seems to have faded into the sunset.

Can’t win for losing? Media immediately rushed to judgment. If LE hadn’t furiously investigated this high profile, alleged political hate crime the backlash would have been astronomical.

Ironically enough LE then faced backlash for investigating the case too thoroughly.

*whew* We should be grateful that Jussie was the only one worthy of faux anthrax. Usually such disturbed people don’t give up so easily.

Yeah, ahem, didn't JS as good as say this during his word vomit towards Gayle King, "strongly implying", shall we say, that if he had been a heterosexual white man, the police would have been turning themselves inside out to solve the crime?? Did he not already prejudge the city of Chicago as guaranteed to do nothing?

So when CPD calls his bluff and make certain there can be absolutely zero question they turned themselves inside out to take this hoax seriously, all of a sudden it's their fault??

Yeah, he's quite a kidder, that Jussie.

How many other people can literally "get away" with sending a fake threat in the United States mail, with fake "white powder"?

This really merits review, because it actually sets precedent for other faux terrorism cases.

Considering the severity of what JS did/did not do, this is taking a heck of a long time to be resolved.

Just my opinion.......

If anyone from WS had pulled this nonsense we'd be wearing our jumpsuit by now......another opinion.

Here is a list of people who sent "White powder letters", and their charges...and FBI information about how they treat this domestic terrorism.
White Powder Letters — FBI

Florida woman accused of sending threats, white powder to elementary schools

https://www.ledger-enquirer.com/news/business/article236039523.html

There are many others, people usually get charged and probation, with mandatory mental health treatment.

If I could ask our attorney general any question, it would be, why hasn't Jussie Smollett been charged in the "White Powder" hoax?
