The saga continues...

Jussie Smollett bought drugs from the brothers who staged alleged attack, documents show
New documents released by Chicago police Thursday show Jussie Smollett discussing drugs with the two brothers who accused the "Empire" actor of paying them to stage an attack on him.

The texts were among the 460 pages released by the Cook County State's Attorney's Office and Chicago Police Department Thursday after a judge ordered Smollett's case file unsealed last week.

The documents show that Smollett initially communicated with Abimbola 'Abel' and Olabinjo “Ola Osundairo about buying marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy before enlisting them to stage his alleged attack on Jan. 29. The brothers later told Chicago police that Smollett paid them to stage the attack on him.

Reminder that police routinely take advantage of domestic assault victims, and ask them for sexual favors in return for "saving" them.

"I would see women that were vulnerable where I could appear as a knight in shining armor." He explained, "I'm going to help this woman who's being abused by her boyfriend, and then I'll ask for sexual favors." Another bragged that getting dates with such victims was like "shooting fish in a barrel. "

"Black people are statistically more likely to commit robbery. Hence, I can single out and assert that single black people or black people of a certain area will commit robbery"

How fucking dumb are you? Oh yeah, the epitome of fucking stupid. You're basically saying the same thing that my statement above says.

How many times have you posted in this thread? Weird how obsessed with this you are. Did you have an aneurysm when OJ got acquitted?

A movie star... that... uses drugs? Oh wow, that's uh... incredible.

Man, unbelievable revelations here, imagine if they find out he drives a garish car and has a lot of sex.



It's not about a movie star taking drugs it's about Smollett buying drugs from the two brothers that he later hired to assault him. More connections to the brothers.

Smollett should have been charged and tried for the crimes he committed. The only reason he wasn't was politics. Somebody acted on someone's behalf as a political favor. This is typical of the way the world turns.

Never watched the show, but good. Hopefully his career is dead until he comes clean.
As much as he has dug in so far, I just don't see him admitting it. My guess is he is probably not completely done, but probably relegated to significantly lower tier work than before. Like or not, he has more name recognition now than before, though much of it is negative. But, an obscure project might take a chance on him to get the publicity of him returning to acting.

Judge Orders Special Prosecutor To Review Handling Of Jussie Smollett Case
A judge in Illinois is calling for a special prosecutor to look into how Cook County prosecutors handled the Jussie Smollett case — which began with the Empire actor reporting a hate crime, then saw him arrested for allegedly faking the incident, and finally having all charges against him dropped.

In his order, Cook County Circuit Judge Michael Toomin said "unprecedented irregularities" of the case require an independent counsel to investigate "to restore the public's confidence in the integrity of our criminal justice system."

Depending on the special prosecutor's findings, the disposition of Smollett's case could be nullified, Toomin said, citing the outcomes of similar inquiries.

The decision to appoint a special prosecutor comes three weeks after Chicago police released hundreds of pages of records related to the case investigators worked to build against Smollett.

Smollett, 37, was indicted on 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct, related to making a false report to police about the event in which he alleged he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack in Chicago in January. Police said they believe Smollett paid two brothers to fake an attack on him in order to get publicity.

Law enforcement officials have said they're frustrated that Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx's office ended the case by abruptly announcing Smollett would not face any charges. Then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel, along with police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, called it a "whitewash of justice."


Foxx recused herself from the investigation before Smollett was charged, saying she wanted to avoid any appearances of a conflict of interest because of conversations she had with a Smollett family member.

But in a controversial move, Foxx put her top assistant in charge of the case — and Judge Toomin sharply criticized that decision on Friday, saying an independent special prosecutor should instead have been brought in rather than a prosecutor who "was appointed to a fictitious office having no legal existence."

Despite her recusal, Foxx was later shown to have been in frequent touch with that assistant about the case, after her office released a raft of emails and text messages. The messages Foxx wrote to her assistant showed she questioned the criminal charges that had been filed against Smollett.

"So I am recused, but when people accuse us of overcharging cases, 16 counts on a Class 4 felony becomes exhibit A," Foxx wrote in one note.


In an interview with NPR member station WBEZ, Foxx suggested that her office had more pressing issues than Smollett:

"We deal with a lot of things in this city, in this county, not the least of which is a homicide rate that outpaces other major cities, shootings that outpace other major cities, sexual assault, sexual violence, domestic violence. And it is not to diminish that what Mr. Smollett was alleged to have done did have an impact on people who are actual victims of hate crime, did have an impact on how people perceived our city. But he was charged with a Class 4 felony."

Foxx said there had been a lot of confusion about the case — and that it was never very likely Smollett would have gotten a prison sentence if he were convicted.



Eat shit you insignificant human scum.

So this seems like a pretty normal amount of rage to feel toward someone that filed a false police report.

The problem is that it became a media event. The guy should pay whatever fine is involved in filling a false police report and call it done. Stupid idea got a stupid result and now they're going to spend a stupid amount of money to prove that the guy is stupid. Fuck me blue, this shit makes me tired.

He should be required to pay the cost of the investigation and the fine. Then call him done.

Don't sell yourself short, you "knew it!" before you even knew he existed.

What's even better is you calling him insignificant, but my how you've devoted to raging about him in this thread. I bet a full 10% of this thread comes entirely from your posts alone, and wouldn't be shocked if its closer to 25%.

Its good that you've found an alternative for caffeine, cocaine, meth, and I can only assume viagra. All someone needs to do is mention this guy and your heart will start to flutter and beat out of control. Hell you even gave him a cute nickname.


I guess at least your family should have a new safe word to get out of having to deal with one of your dinner invitations.

Lol, It's so cute how you care so much about me to dedicate entire posts.... in multiple threads... to be all about me. Not even about the topic of conversation or to debate the topic or my points - simply you adoring me. Such a good little cuck.

I thank you for your hard-on that you obviously get from me.
