While many expressed bewilderment after all charges were dropped Empire actor Jussie Smollett for allegedly staging a hate crime, there is one group of people who are happy with the news: the writers of Empire.

Tweeting a picture of the T.V. showing the news on their Twitter account, they said “see y’all Wednesday”:

Empire Writers ✔ @EmpireWriters 😉 see y’all Wednesday. #empire #empirefox

2,739 11:20 AM - Mar 26, 2019 6,158 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy Empire writer Cameron Johnson took it a step further and tweeted at Rob Elgas, a Chicago-based reporter for ABC 7 who has been covering the case since it first broke in January.

Johnson accused Elgas of reporting “a bunch of false information and never retracted it”:

Rob Elgas ✔ @RobElgasABC7 · 8h Replying to @RobElgasABC7 They tagged me with the news conference link and two 👋🏾👋🏾

Cameron Johnson @cameronjawesome You reported a bunch of false information and never retracted it. Do your job, yes. But reporting on leaks that have been proven false is beneath you. 12:33 PM - Mar 26, 2019

When Elgas asked what he got wrong, Johnson simply tweeted emojis at Elags:

Rob Elgas ✔ @RobElgasABC7 · 8h Replying to @cameronjawesome Good to see you following my work again Cameron. Let me know what specific tweets were false and we will clarify. Also tell your fellow writers 👋🏾.

Cameron Johnson @cameronjawesome 😘😘

Nothing has been proven to be false. It is a coverup and political buyoff, plain and simple.

Smollett is guilty as hell.

empire is like a TV version of “The Godfather” if “The Godfather” had REALLY BAD actors, absurd plots, racist nonsense, no talent in directing or producing, and the average viewer’s IQ was 50.

all you need to know:

14 Mar: CNN: Smollett pleads not guilty
The next hearing is scheduled for ***April 17...
https://edition.cnn.com/us/live-news/jussie-smollett-arraignment/index.html

27 Mar: NBC: Jussie Smollett case: Chicago prosecutors drop all charges against ‘Empire’ actor
Smollett, 36, was seen arriving at a Chicago courtroom around 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday for an ***emergency hearing...
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/all-charges-against-empire-actor-jussie-smollett-dropped-n987446

the Smollett story is meant to wipe Trump’s Russia collusion exoneration off the news headlines, which is precisely what is happening.

get back to the calls to investigate the coup plotters.

Who watches “Empire,” a Black soap opera? The same people who vote Democrat.

But reporting on leaks that have been proven false is beneath you.

Are they brain-damaged.

Information presented at a formal police news briefing is not a leak.

Seriously, they must be the stupidest people alive.

IS THE REPORTED FEDERAL INVESTIGATION INTO SMOLLETT’S POTENTIAL INVOLVEMENT IN DEATH THREAT LETTER STILL ONGOING?

https://dailycaller.com/2019/03/26/jussie-smollett-federal-investigation/

Yes. And it’s worse than the fake assault.

I had never heard of the show or the actor.

I still don’t know anything about the program yet I have formed an opinion of the writers. They must be the scum of the earth.

Can Smollett be charged with a hate crime? What he did was intended to harm a specific group of people - Trump supporters.

50 is a little low in the IQ level of the average fan of the show. 80 would probably be closer to the truth.

Smollett’s character would be the equivalent of Michael Corleone.

If Michael was a FRUIT, an IDIOT, and a TERRIBLE actor.

it’s the ghetto version of “The Godfather”.

just like “new jack city” was back in the 90s

agreed.

you can have an IQ of 80 and enjoy the Godfather.

But not NEARLY as much as someone with an IQ of 110.

Cerebral, empire is NOT.
