Quote from: "cc"CHICAGO (WLS) — The Cook County Clerk's Office confirmed Tuesday that special prosecutor Dan Webb has indicted former "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett in connection with the alleged attack in Streeterville in January 2019.



Webb released a statement, saying a Cook County grand jury returned a six-count indictment against Smollett, charging him with making four separate false reports to Chicago police "related to his false claims that he was the victim of a hate crime, knowing he was not the victim of a crime."



Smollett claimed he had been attacked by two men who yelled racist and homophobic slurs at him. He was originally charged with 16 counts of felony disorderly conduct for allegedly lying to police about the alleged attack. Police said Smollett staged the attack on himself because he was unhappy with his "Empire" salary.



A rope wasted  ac_smile



Special Prosecutor said he has not yet reached any conclusions as to the second part of the investigation, including in regards to the State's Attorney's Office, and that his investigation into whether any person or office involved in the investigation engaged in wrongdoing is ongoing.



Could that ^^ be into the crooked DA? ac_biggrin

In March last year, Foxx's office surprised and angered many in Chicago by dropping charges that accused the former "Empire" actor of staging an alleged racist and homophobic attack against himself. Smollett is still adamant that the attack was real and wasn't a publicity hoax.



Webb's findings announced Monday came after charges were restored against Smollett by the same special prosecutor in February. Webb said at the time that dropping the charges against Smollett was unjustified, including because the evidence against Smollett seemed overwhelming and because he was not required to admit that the attack was a hoax.



The state's attorney's office's "decision-makers" who worked the initial Smollett case "did not learn of any new evidence between when the [Cook County State's Attorney's Office] filed a 16-count indictment against Mr. Smollett on March 7, 2019, when the CCSAO believed it had a strong case against Mr. Smollett, and March 26, 2019, when the entire indictment was dismissed," the prosecutors' office found.



Both "decision-makers" - Acting State's Attorney Joseph Magats and Lead Prosecutor Risa Lanier - had "significantly and meaningfully divergent explanations" for how the decision was made, the findings said.



But charges against the crooked DA do NOT rise to criminal

lexandria Ocasio Smollett" and "AOC Lied" trended on Twitter amid backlash over Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's tale of her experiences during the Capitol riot.



The New York Democrat has repeatedly described fearing for her life during the Jan. 6 riot. In a Monday evening Instagram Live video, she said she hid in her office bathroom after hearing loud banging and shouting.



She described her fears at length before revealing that it was not rioters but a Capitol Police officer who entered her office. Multiple news outlets would inaccurately report that rioters entered Ocasio-Cortez's office before deleting or editing these reports. Newsweek issued a correction clarifying the error.



News reports highlighting that Ocasio-Cortez was not in the Capitol building quickly gained attention on social media, and #AlexandriaOcasioSmollett began to trend, linking the New York Democrat to Black 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett, who sparked national outrage in 2019 when he claimed he was a victim of a hate crime.

Hard to believe that the Capitol hill security hasnt prepared for a "school shooter" type scenario or a terrorist attack.



And it is hard to believe that there isnt a single locked, fire-proof door between the yard and the senate floor.





The cabal of child-molesters, psychopaths, rapists and sex-cult high priests/priestesses AKA the US congress, were evacuated long before the rioters entered the senate floor.





AOC has adapted to the lying pos politician culture fairly quickly...
