After missing a deadline set by the Chicago PD, “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett continues to deny all attempts to be held accountable for his actions. If that wasn’t enough, his lawyers are now threatening Chicago’s officials.
The actor was due to pay the City of Chicago $130,000 to recoup the costs accrued while investigating his claims that he was attacked in a racist hate crime.
The Chicago PD had leveled 16 counts of filing false claims against Smollett only to have the prosecution led by Kim Foxx drop all charges.
The City of Chicago now says it is preparing to prosecute Smollett for refusing to pay the fine.
In response, Smollett attorney’s have declared that trying to force the actor to pay for investigative costs is “unconstitutional.”
Claiming the city is trying to “get a second bite at the apple once charges against a criminal defendant have been dismissed,” Smollett’s lawyers have said they will demand the Chicago PD hand over the entire investigation file, while further seeking depositions from Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, the Osundairo brothers AND their attorney.
America will be watching to see how Chicago responds.
Make the prosecutor (Kim Foxx) pay for the investigation since she decided charges should be dropped.
Absolutely NOT! Why should they be given something that they never earned? The American people owe illegal immigrants nothing but a plane ride back to the country that they came from.
This homosexual thug—and he IS a thug—needs his comeuppance, and a couple of years in prison would serve perfectly. He would make other inmates a perfect bride.
Tell Smollett and his lawyers to go piss up a rope and file charges, Get a warrant for his arrest and send Chicago detectives to get him and return him for trial! Enough of this BS! If Smollett wasn’t a TV personality, he would be serving time right now instead of being free.

He is a Democrap…that should explain it.
You’re right. Democrats have two set of rules or law one for them and the other for Republicans and who ever. If you are a Democrat and a Hollywood star, no matter what you do, you’re innocent and sometimes viewed as a hero. This fact also covers the top head Democrats.
Who were the Politicians who called Foxx?
Now Smollet is taking advantage of his connections to these people ( we all know who are the crooked politicians ) They all should be held accountable of these over the top disgrace of breaking the law!! These politicians who are very educated & using their education to make a ” mockery of what is right” should be condemned!!!
It’s unconstitutional to live at and Nager off with hate crimes against white people 16 counts with no charges he should be hung by a rope
Will not return to Chicago regardless of beneficial conventions.
How can he be causing more trouble. Didn’t the NAACP just give him a prestigious award ??? AND everyone knows they don’t give those “awards” to just anyone. LOL.
get the turd
Crazy that this man is somehow so broken, he had to fake his own persecution so publicly.
I only wish for half the income he was making. I have gratitude for what I have and pay my debts when I’ve done wrong.
This kind of spoiled child behavior is unacceptable. Period. Go to time out.
Just jail the SOB Smollett. What’s all the fuss, he’s guilty of a hte crime gainst whites. Just do it. And Fire FOXX. She has proven what I’ve been sayig right along. YOU can’t give a black a job with authority, they abuse it everytime, especially in elections.
Smollett is guilty, why isn’t he in jail?
It’s starting to appear that many if not all similar “so called hate crimes” are the same as the Smollett case. Looks like all these hate crimes were self inflicted!
Remember. “Black lies matter”
