City of Chicago confirms it WILL sue Jussie Smollett for wasted $130k police investigation into fake hate attack: Nigerian brothers he accused also plan lawsuit

The former Empire star dominated headlines in January 2019 after he claimed he was victimized in a racist, homophobic attack, but investigators soon determined his story was a hoax.

The Chicago Police Department came to the conclusion after more than two dozen cops spent weeks investigating the bogus story, logging 1,836 overtime hours in the process, a July 2019 legal filing said.

The hoax was a political “hit” on President Trump and all of his supporters. It involved people like Kamala Harris and likely came from the same people who were pushing the Russia! Russia! hoax.

Those Juicy defamed should sue too. He is a proven liar. Jury said so.

Just a little setback, Juicy. Don’t beat yourself up for it.

Maybe they were waiting until the trial and verdict

Anyone know if Donald Trump is planning on suing Jussie Smollett?

Ought to be interesting how he tries to appeal

Counselor Shaniqua will probably use the “lunge “ or the fact that they couldn’t seat more blacks on the jury

Which was probably because they couldn’t find many blacks that hadn’t already made up their minds

Outstanding! This race-based, triggered hustling for sympathy and profit has to stop.

Amm, Juicy paid them to do something illegal and they accepted the money and did so. Who are they going to sue?

And the “brothers” should be charged with felonies for participating in the hoax!

I've wondered about that. If it was just a paid "acting" gig to them, that's one thing. As soon as the cops found them, they came clean. Jussie must have convinced them (and himself) that they wouldn't get caught because he'd claim he didn't know who they were.

“I thought they already sued him for this”

They said they were going to do that but then the prosecutor dropped the chgs.

I haven’t really followed it. Maybe he told them it was an acting job and they were going to be stars.
