The Barkley clip was hilarious. His Liam Neeson reference was perfect.
It's amazing this loser is still trying to convince people that he's not lying.

This is going to be very interesting to watch play out. It seems assured that this turd is going to be prosecuted, but I wonder if he’ll be convicted if he decides to take it to trial and skip a plea. This has gotten national attention with politicians weighing in. In order to get a conviction, you’ll need to find impartial people who won’t inject politics into the process. That’s going to be difficult to achieve. Especially since his unofficial defense appears to be “TRUMP!”. Look at Bob Menendez in NJ as an example. Liberal jurists vote politics before anything else. One of the State’s Attorneys has already removed herself from the process. She wants nothing to do with this prosecution.
If the media, celebrities and politicians that initially ran to his side rebuke him publically, he’ll be forced to take a plea deal. If they double down with support or sympathy towards him (doesn’t look like that’s happening), he may skate at a trial.

As Bugs would say -

By sticking to his comical "I'm innocent!" schtick, maybe he is attempting to set himself up for an 'insanity' defence?!

The Hollywood commies, the race hustlers, and the identity politicians need to be completely unidentified with him. Sharpton, with all his experience of deceit, made the calculation fastest: No way to salvage this moron. Just get clear of the shrapnel when he blows up.
The Feds need to weigh in, and my guess-- only a guess-- is that this will be the worst part of it all for him.
But IMO Smollett is going down-- even with a plea deal, it won't be pretty for him.

So they write him out as a victim of a staged attack gone wrong?

All he is doing is showing what he is made of, which is nothing, apparently. If you've done something wrong and you're too ashamed to admit it, then just don't say anything. Don't double down on your weak lies.
This guy obviously has no concept of honor, and quite frankly, he seems kinda stupid to me. Walking into work and continuing to lie to your co-workers after you're crime has been exposed- good grief, son. Can you not think ahead at all??

A parting thought for Smollett:
Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
With apologies to Dylan Thomas, this guy is too entertaining to go away quietly.

Funny, I see no mention of the recent developments on MSNBC.
However, they are covering that Breakdancing may be considered for the 2024 Olympics.
Really MSNBC? WTF?

"Chicago has a deep history of openly lying to citizens."
With all the mounting evidence indicating that "Empire" star Jussie Smollett staged a "hate crime" hoax allegedly to negotiate a better salary, some of the actor's defenders have now moved into the realm of the perfect conspiracy: Law enforcement has framed Jussie Smollett.
Over at MSNBC, Zach Stafford, Editor-in-Chief for the LGBTQ magazine The Advocate, went so far as to accuse Trump-loving cops in the Chicago P.D. of rigging the investigation in order to deal maximum damage to the disgraced actor.
According to Stafford, the Chicago P.D. intentionally leaked information pertaining to the investigation in order to destroy Smollett, alleging that the police called "it a racist and homophobic attack" even though it initially understood Smollett to be lying. Stafford claims this was all just a part of a broader setup.
"Personally, it was incredibly shocking on day one to see the police department call it a racist and homophobic attack. Their first statement — they exclusively said that, said they’re investigating it as a victim case," Stafford said, according to Fox News. "As someone that has been investigating these for years in Chicago, that was really unprecedented before."
Stafford went on to say that the Chicago P.D. essentially played into the victim narrative against Smollett in order to spring a trap on him.
