Naw. He screwed over too many big-ticket people who believed him. Now they’re a worldwide laughingstock, too. He went a bridge too far

Normally I wouldn’t hope that every possible government authority pile on a citizen ... but in this case I will.

No. He’s already completely embarrassed the liberal press. They don’t like being embarrassed. They don’t like that a lot.

They’re not buying anything else from Jussie.

I don’t think Kamalamala will affect his sentencing but she may try to effect his escape from justice.

Someone as dumb as Frito couldn’t get him off.

Likely to result in more charges being piled on. There are additional state as well as federal charges that can be added and the mor3 he says he did not do it, the more prosecutors and police will want to push it.

Yes, LE seems to have a lot of leeway. And his cockiness, just exemplified again by the hateful T-shirt he is sporting on the latest Drudge pic makes me hope that he really, really has to pay the piper.

He was such a good boy...

He was my neighbor and I never had any problems with him...

He fed my cat while I was away on vacation...

His grandmother and my pet wombat were best of friends...

He once stopped eating so I could belch...

He donated a kidney (bean) to my cousin... didn’t even know him...

He took short showers to save water...

He only flushed once a day...

He drove his car left handed to keep from showing off...

He once delivered my newspaper to my door, while I was on the john...

His clothing matched my daughter’s perfectly... they looked so cute...

Of course none of this has any bearing on the case, but brace yourself. Loony Town next exit!

Every town should have a memorial to the Three Innocents...

Martin, Brown, and Smollett...

Carry on...

They will...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Feds haven't weighed in yet - that should give Smollett & his attorneys something to worry about. As for Chicago, I think they'll make Smollett pay for their time & trouble .....

"Make Smollett pay for the investigation?" There's a form for that.

Should Smollett be convicted of filing a false police report as charged, a mundane piece of paper known as report #CPD-61.230, the “Cost Recovery Incident Form,” may be the police department’s first step in recovering the costs of its investigation of Smollett’s purported hoax.

Chicago ordinance authorizes the city to seek compensation, for wages and benefits of city personnel, attorneys, costs of equipment and materials, and “any other costs allocable to the provision of services” in a variety of situations.

And the first “situation” on the city’s list of recoverable incidents is “the deployment of police to respond and provide service as a result of a person’s false reporting of a crime.”

Federal authorities are investigating the origin of a white powder-covered threat letter that Smollett received at his TV show’s production facilities on the West Side one week before he reported being brutally attacked in Streeterville.

Whoever mailed that letter is likely to be charged with, among other things, creating a hoax terroristic threat. And they'll face a double-whammy.

The city, of course, will be in a position to pursue all costs involved in that case, including the deployment of fire department HAZMAT units.

And 18 U.S. Code § 1038, “False information and hoaxes,” specifically states that—in addition to a potential five years in prison—anyone convicted of the charge “is liable in a civil action to any party incurring expenses incident to any emergency or investigative response to that conduct, for those expenses.”

And the law goes on to say that the sentencing court “shall” order reimbursement, not that it “may.”
