@mick-gold-coast-qld ....but they didn't know he was lying when they posted did they?
Maybe. but is that really the point here?
Harris is a former District Attorney and should have known better than just jump in and assume everything Smollett said was true without testing the basic facts. Even worse, that assumption seems to have been made by her and Biden on the basis of Smollett's skin colour.

At last the penny drops! Thank you.
Further, even if they feel no need to respect the law, both have lackeys piled six high in their office who can get on the phone to the detectives and get all the information they need, to then assess whether they should remain silent or not.
It is likely neither of them have the wit to do that though.

@mick-gold-coast-qld it was such an orgy of potential virtue signalling, with the race, noose and imaginary maga hats, I wouldn’t be surprised if the tweets were typed with one hand.

There's the thing. Just as racists cheered when black people were lynched, today's "progressives" get a warm feeling when black people are attacked, as it equally reinforces their prejudices.

And scratch their white saviour itch.
Dave Chapelle has a great bit on this, talking about how the black community reaction was roughly “that’s bullshit”

Anyone know if he'll serve prison time over this?
Apparently is being sued by the cops for the wasted time. Being friends with the Vice President will probably keep him out of jail though.
Today's media report states:
-
... possible sentence of three years in prison, legal experts have said ... more likely ... probation and ... community service. Judge ... scheduled a Jan. 27 hearing for post-trial motions and said he would schedule sentencing after that.

two lawsuits that were on hold pending the outcome of this criminal case, can now proceed:
- Chicago sued Smollett in April 2019, after he refused to pay $130,106.15 to reimburse the city for police overtime and other costs spent on the investigation.
*... after Thursday’s guilty verdict, the city’s law department said the decision “confirms that the City was correct” in suing Smollett.
“The City intends to continue to pursue its lawsuit to hold Smollett accountable for his unlawful actions and to demand that he compensate the City for costs incurred by the Chicago Police Department which took his false claims of harm seriously,” the statement read.
A status hearing is scheduled for Dec. 16 in U.S. District Court in Chicago.*
- Osundairo brothers filed in April 2019 accusing Smollett's attorneys of defamation and seeking unspecified financial damages.
"... public statements that Abimbola ... is gay and ... sex acts with Smollett. ... was untrue, ... family in Nigeria ... travels often to (that) country, where homosexuality is illegal and punishable by years in prison or even death. ... statements put his life and the lives of his family in danger.
...
A federal judge ... asked the parties to file a status report with the court by Feb. 1, 2022"Poor Juicy is now:
a) unemployed since Feb 19, 2019, 3 weeks after not being attacked 😁;
b) outed officially as a really lousy actor and an incompetent director;
in debt for:
c) a couple of hundred thousand legal costs for the past two years;
d) legal costs to respond to the two revived cases;
up for, if he loses twice more:
e) $130,000 due to the police;
f) unspecified damages due to the accused mutual pud-pullers from darkest Africa. 😁😂🤣
g) plaintiff costs awarded in adverse findings on e) and / or f) - a certainty.Someone will have been keeping him alive (and smoking "blunts" daily, as he stated in evidence) for all this time - he would not have had two bob to his name at the outset.

Interesting that some of the more sensible civil rights activists and even Al Sharpton are calling for him to be jailed - unlike BLM who are maintaining it's some sort of conspiracy. I think the sensible ones understand the damage this fluffybunny has done to their cause.

BREAKING: Smollett will serve 30 months felony probation, pay restitution of $106,000, a fine of $25,000 and serve 150 days in the Cook County Jail beginning today.
Fair sentence.

Yelled repeatedly in court. “I AM INNOCENT!!!”
