Smollett, 37, was indicted by special prosecutor Dan Webb, who was appointed by a Cook County judge to continue looking into his false allegations after the Cook County State’s Attorney Office dropped all charges against the actor, a source close to Smollett told ABC news.

If there was no trial, how can it be double jeopardy?

“Let Dave Chappelle be the Special Prosecutor.”

Heck, I’d settle for just having him on the jury.

Thanks, as suspected when I found that link.

Whenever I’m suspicious of someone’s politics, I just have to include BJ’s wife’s name with theirs in a search, and often an immediate connection comes up.

Days later the Senate led by Kamala Harris passes a law to make lynching a Federal crime, a pattern of false flag bloody shirt waving intrigue of the sort that, had Trump not won by the skin of his teeth, we could have expected to be unleashed on any conservative they wanted in the crosshairs in a race war Armageddon, aided by the several zillion immigrant ballot box stuffers they imported in recent years.
