Jussie Smollett is now officially in the crosshairs of law enforcement, because Chicago PD said he's now "officially classified as a suspect in a criminal investigation ... for filing a false police report."

I think he needs to be charged with more than that, though I expect that anything further would have to be federal in nature.

I presume this Grand Jury doesn’t include the potential federal charges for the powder-filled hate mail someone sent to his employer.

Interesting developments. We kind of knew this when we learned that Juicy Smellitt had hired a prominent criminal defense attorney a few days ago.

Juan Williams on The Five on FNC said he thought Smollett might have mental illness or something.

Yep, definitely, and I don’t see why he shouldn’t be charged with a hate crime, or stoking racial hostilities, or something along these lines.

President Trump isn't going to sign that totally unnecessary federal anti-lynching bill that Harris and Booker rammed through Congress on the back of this hoax, is he?
