sounds like bullsh*t to me. No idea why the fed gov. would blow a bunch of money to get involved in something this trivial.

Assuming what is reported is true it won't be the first time somebody makes a false police report and doesn't get charged with a criminal offense.

I'd love to know why in the hell the state initially indicted the guy and dumped all the charges. There had to have been some sort of reason.

And that's what it looks like they'll be investigating, not Smollett.

Pipe down. The reason this thing has turned into a total fvckfest is because your city is a corrupt shithole.

Show some humility

Just like Obama did with the Ferguson case, the Beer Summit case, Trayvon Martin, Eric Gray, etc...

that in it of itself is not a crazy rare occurrence in the legal system. Most of the time it happens its like a formal diversion program. You get charged, you jump through some hoops, fines, community service, classes, and your case gets dismissed and everything gets expunged.

In some instances there can be what I like to call "informal diversion" where all that same stuff takes place but it's not called diversion.

What strikes me as totally odd about this situation is that the state agreed to expunge everything on top of the dismissal. To me that implies that there might have been truth to what this guy is saying and the attacks were real, or something else was going on like some wrongdoing on the part of the state. But then again, this dude forfeited his bond and did community service.

It's very bizarre to me. I don't know much about the facts of the case, but even still, something like that is warranting a f*cking federal investigation? unreal to me.

3 out of those 4 cases people died at the hands of "police"....one of them was a 16 year old, thats serious. those incidents require attention by the president. This smollet case doesn't...at all. its small and petty to sicc the FBI and DOJ on isnt it? surely you understand the difference right? or trump doesnt understand the difference.

common pat, what im saying is true isn't it? Trump used the polar freeze this winter to make a point about global warming.

lol exactly. the agenda comes out. bias towards cities like Chicago and liberals. trump is so petty and you trumptards love it because you are also petty brainwashed sheep.

Theres no reason to investigate this at a federal level, the only reason trump is persuing this is that it involves someone falsely accusing racist whites of beating him. Racist whites, his fan base that he must protect.

The only reason Trump is involved in this is because this lying POS actor accused Trump supporters of attacking him. Then the narrative in the media is that Trump fuels this violence from his supporters. Which is just not true. Period. So you see the danger in what this Smollett clown did? Creating a division based on political beliefs and on race. That is extremely dangerous. This country has become too tribalized, and we must get back from that. Trump's involvement is warranted. We cannot allow race baiters like Smollett to separate us further, especially on false pretenses. Same with the media. They must be called out, and they must be dealt with. You have to understand where I'm coming from here, right?

With Obama, some of those matters could have definitely been handled locally. Obama would have had a lot more respect from me if he kept his nose out of it, but he refused. He kept shaming Americans and almost ALWAYS got involved when it was a racial issue. Worst thing a President can do.

Honestly, Trump should stay out of this. Let justice take its course. Sometimes, there will be bad outcomes. Let it go. It does nothing good to go monkeying around with the process.
