Jussie Smollett's Cook County criminal documents ordered unsealed
Fox ^ | 2-23-2019 | Ryan Gaydos

An Illinois judge on Thursday ordered "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett's criminal case file unsealed, setting up the release of a wealth of information surrounding the controversial -- and often confusing -- case.

The decision came months after Cook County prosecutors dropped charges alleging that the “Empire” actor staged a hate crime attack on himself.

Cook County judge Steven G. Watkins vacated the sealing order on Smollett's docs. When the state attorney asked whether they could have more time to redact personal information, Watkins said "act as if the documents were never sealed in the first place."

Why would they need to be ‘sealed’ in the first place?

I am betting Kamala Harris and Cory Booker were involved.

Of course Harris was involved..she particularly since the moment this hoax first started she ran to the cameras to get her anti lynching bill passed..its the reason why Smollett refused to turn over his cell phone

When the state attorney asked whether they could have more time to redact personal information,...

Ahh, you mean like Michelle Obama's aide, Cory Booker and Kamala Harris?

This person is a black, communist, black panther, friend of Mooch, Hollyweird homo. Just forget about him ever being brought to justice. He has a stack of get out of jail free cards.

Booker is too stupid to have been involved in this.

I bet it’s Harris.

Oh I know that, we all know he got away with it, I just want to know if Harris is involved(Im more inclined to believe her involvement more than Bookers) I think there is text message communication between Smollett and Harris which is why he refused to turn over his cell phone

This was a staged fake attack to push the bill like you say. Harris the whore and Booker the queen set this up. Also. Let’s not forget the wookie 0bammy had her staff stick their noses into it too.

Kamala Harris has serious defenders here, pontificating to us just last week that she is a natural born citizen and ELIGIBLE to be President.

The big question is if he’ll ever be charged on a federal level with his hate crime using the USPS.

That’s a slam dunk easy case to make.
