JUSSIE SMOLLETT ARRESTED: Open Thread

Even as the sun was rising, there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth from the Resistance today and once they have sucked down their lattes, they will be squealing like pigs too. 

The news cycle is off to a rip-roaring start this morning as it is being reported that Jussie Smollett has been arrested as his false account of being attacked by two Trump supporters last month has now completely collapsed.

According to multiple reports, the star of Fox’s hip hop series “Empire” has been taken into custody by Chicago police after being charged with making a false report which is a felony that could not only derail the actor’s career but make him the poster boy for hate crime hoaxes.

There was no need for multiple SWAT teams and heavily armed agents to execute a dramatic pre-dawn raid on his home while CNN’s cameras rolled because Smollett was allowed to turn himself in.

A Chicago PD spokesman announced the arrest with a statement posted on Twitter.

Via The Hill, “Jussie Smollett in custody, accused of faking attack”:

“Empire” actor Jussie Smollett was arrested early Thursday by Chicago police and on charges of disorderly conduct over allegedly filing a false police report, Chicago police said Thursday.

In a tweet sent early Thursday morning, a Chicago police spokesman wrote that “Jussie Smollet [sic] is under arrest and in custody of detectives,” while including a stock image of a man being led away in handcuffs.

“At 9am at #ChicagoPolice Headquarters, Supt Eddie Johnson, Commander of Area Central Detectives Edward Wodnicki will brief reporters on the investigation prior to the defendants appearance in court,” the message continued.

The charges come hours after it was announced that the city had obtained a felony warrant for Smollett’s arrest on a disorderly conduct charge for allegedly faking a report to police of a racially charged attack of which Smollett has maintained he was the victim.

It is a sad day for those who have promoted bogus hate crimes in order to smear President Trump and his supporters as Nazis, racists and white supremacists.

This latest development in the sordid Smollett affair follows an explosive and damning report that from last night that all but sealed the actor’s fate.

A local Chicago news affiliate has obtained and published a stunning video of the two Nigerian brothers who have reportedly admitted to assisting Smollett with his scheme that had authorities skeptical from the start.

According to the account from Smollett – a gay black man – he was assaulted in freezing temperatures by two assailants wearing the red MAGA hats that are worn by many supporters of President Trump but have been compared to KKK hoods by the dishonest, corrupt media as well as Democrats.

Things began to take a turn for the worse for Smollett when the brothers began cooperating with police and while the star’s expensive legal team is on the job, this surveillance video of Ola and Abel Osundairo at the counter of the store that sold them the items that they used as props in the “attack” could drive home the nail that seals his career coffin.

Thanks to one of the intrepid journalists at CBS Chicago, a video of the two bothers could punch Jussie’s ticket to jail.

CHECK IT OUT: 

The arrest is only the first step in rolling back the fake hate crimes that have been perpetrated by the extremists in the post-Obama era, the next would be for every charge possible to be brought against Smollett to make an example of him.

About a decade in prison would be the ticket as well as Smollett himself being charged with a hate crime.

So what say ye Deplorables?
