You guys read, and commented, on his phony claims that he was attacked by a couple of folks, got a substance thrown on him, got a noose placed on him, then had to listen to them tell him that this was MAGA country.<\/p>\n<p>The trend, here on TAH, was that there was something fishy about this attack, and that it was staged. Critical thinking people across the country shared these suspicions. This was verified when the news announced that Jussie, Ola, and Abel staged the attack. Jussie Smollett eventually plead not guilty to 16 counts to include lying to the police.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the charges are being dropped, and a judge has granted a motion to have this expunged.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Chicago (CBS):<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Smollett&#8217;s spokesperson said his record would be &#8220;fully expunged.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A judge also granted a motion to seal the case.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Also from CBS Chicago:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollett&#8217;s volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case,&#8221; the Cook County State&#8217;s Attorney&#8217;s office stated in an email.<\/p>\n<p>Sources tell CBS 2 that CPD Superintendent Eddie Johnson is furious and that he received no notification about the charges being dropped. CBS 2 is told that he will speak after the police graduation taking place.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One of the intentions of the hoax was to &#8220;substantiate&#8221; claims of conservative &#8220;racism&#8221; and &#8220;bigotry&#8221;. He would&#8217;ve been seen as the victim, something he could&#8217;ve leveraged to his advantage. Had enough people been successfully fooled, we could&#8217;ve had protests&#8230; Some of which could&#8217;ve became violent.<\/p>\n<p>As the story of this hoax was developing, he went to the station to identify the folk suspected of attacking him. One question that we could raise? What if the line up consisted of all Caucasian men. Would he have built his narrative, or claim that they weren&#8217;t in the line up?<\/p>\n<p>Or, better yet, what really motivated the move to drop the charges in this case, as well as the approval to clear this from his record?<\/p>\n<p>More details will be coming out.
