    I heard tonight that the evidence presented by police was tainted and could not be used in a court of law. But either way I'm sure we'll find out over the next few weeks whatever it is that they can tell the public.

    If that was the case, why would they seal the documents?

    There is still the mail fraud the Feds can bring charges for.

    I doubt it. They are mad at the police for being so public about it. Probably because it's harder for them to justify dropping the charges. Hopefully there will be clarification but I'm not getting from the prosecuters that they want clarification.

    5 charged after pregnant California school teacher repeatedly stabbed, carjacked

    Maybe their attorney can call Michelle Obama and get them off.

    Perhaps P Diddy and R Kelly ought to hire Jussie Smollett's lawyer and/or have Michelle Obama call Calfornia's Attorney General.

    Isn't it fun that government now parades its corruption in public?

    Just like the Mueller report, you SUMMARIZE it, with a spin, knowing NOTHING,, and pass judgment.

    There are details, in all cases, that we don't understand. Not saying he didn't get a pass. Just saying, I BET there are reasons.

    And given the glare surrounding the case, I bet we soon get some details.

    I'll bet there are reasons as well. However they are political ones, not judicial ones.

    The Grand Jury? Are you sure about that?

    i was always under the impression that the grand jury had full jurisdiction and their ruling was final at that stage.

    Can he be charged under Federal Hate Crimes law? It's double jeopardy but that hasn't stopped them in the past.

    I don't think this had anything to do with witnesses. They don't need anyone's testimony to convict him. Too many pictures and physical evidence abounds.

    It was the prosecutor that dropped the charges.

    And once again the right resorts to violence.

    Jussie has taken the best you guys can throw at him and is walking out smiling.

    What else you got?

    Bring it on!

    One only needs the truth. Jussie Smollett intentionally filed a false hate crime report, and unlike the collusion accusation against Donald Trump, there is actually hard evidence that proves such as being the case.

    Had not thought of that, gorfias. But if the witnesses won't witness (I disagree with you) I think it is over.

    But I am no expert. Maybe so.

    Questarr, violence is not the answer. Smollet's security would wipe out the neighborhood if he were attacked.

    Actually, the purpose of my post was to throw Spooky's own words back into his face. Apparently advocating violence is okay when you are a Conservative advocating violence against a non-white person.

    Jolly good, that. My mistake, and, yes, you are right, Questerr.

    They have already given written statements to the police. They could have been subpoenaed and forced to testify.

    But this is the norm for hate crime hoaxers. They are not punished but instead lauded for bringing attention to issues which are not actually issues. There is very often no documented instances of what they actually claim in the jurisdictions that they falsely create the hoax. Smollet is not being treated by the justice system in Illinois as an individual but as a member of an oppressed group (in this case 2 groups). That is identity politics. MLK is turning over in his grave.

    AFM, that is the argument white hoaxers use to excuse themselves.

    Given that Whites are usually the victims of these hoaxes that's quite unlikely.
