BREAKING: Jussie Smollett's Case Documents Ordered Unsealed

This is good news. Now the whole world will see what a lying POS Smollett really is. I hope this permanently ruins his career.

This case was not a smear campaign on Smollett, but rather a perfect example of "black privilege," that was orchestrated by Cook County's State Attorney Kim Foxx, who did a favor for Obama's former Chief of staff, Tina Tchen.

Hmmm, I wonder why Tchen refused to accept a subpoena this past Wednesday? As a Chicago attorney, maybe it's because Tchen knows full well that the # will hit the fan, once her phone records, texts and other documents are released concerning her conversations with Kim Foxx.

The fact is, Smollett orchestrated a self-fulfilled fake hate crime and got a slap on the wrist, after prosecutors suddenly dropped a dozen felony charges against the actor. What really ticks me off, is how Smollett's attorneys attempted to smear the Chicago Police Department, by claiming that Smollett was a "victim" and hurt by "unfair and unwarranted actions." The only "unwarranted actions" was committed by Kim Foxx's office.

A judge in Chicago on Thursday unsealed Jussie Smollett’s court records after media organizations asked that documents related to the “Empire” actor’s arrest be made publicly accessible.

The decision to unseal the case could allow public access to documents from the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office that could shed light on why the office suddenly dropped all charges against Mr. Smollett in March.

Mr. Smollett’s case captivated the American public earlier this year with one baffling twist after another. What started as mass outrage over a celebrity being targeted based on his race and sexual orientation turned into indignation at Mr. Smollett after the police concluded that he planned the attack himself in an effort to gain publicity. Mr. Smollett has maintained his innocence.

The records should never have been sealed.
I can only imagine they will show he is guilty of staging a fake hate crime.

Oh this is going to be very interesting!

Good find!!!!

Lets keep this updated.

Good.

Excellent.

About time.

at this point, what I really want is for that little asshole to admit what he did. I don't care who does what after that, but for him to pretend he is innocent and be allowed to continue with that narrative is not at all kosher. I get innocent until proven guilty, and if he maintains his innocence, then he needs to be tried in a court of law. If nothing else for a civil suit just to prove his guilt.

Arrogance coupled with stupidity is a dangerous mixture, as seen by so many of a particular political affiliation.

I'm glad something will be done with this. He broke the law and got away with it.

Lol to the black privilege though, that's a stretch.

He had rich privilege, knowing people privilege.

So I guess Roseanne didn’t know anyone important

I expect to see UncleTomahawk on this thread any minute to point out why the CPD should simply apologise for framing an innocent man so we can all move on from this...

Things are about to get......Jussie.

Alright, Alright, I'm leaving. No need to push.

They both got fired.

Smollett escaped some charges he should have answered for in court.

Apples and oranges. Clearly two different extremes, smollett being the more extreme case.

We're getting close! I can...….Smollett.

Yeah Yeah, I know, I'm leaving.

So this fame seeker is in the news again?

I noticed the article yesterday about Tchen refusing to be served:

Chicago attorney Tina Tchen — who was in contact with Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx before the charges were dropped against former “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett — refused to be served with a subpoena on Wednesday, according to the process server.

Tchen, who previously served as former First Lady Michelle Obama’s chief of staff, refused to accept a subpoena that was issued by former Illinois Appellate Judge Sheila O’Brien.

I thought it was interesting that she was dodging this. She'll have to face it eventually; these things just don't go away.

Edward Ryan, who operates a private investigation firm in the southwest suburbs, said one of his process servers went to Tchen’s law firm in River North on Wednesday, but she refused to come to the lobby to accept the subpoena.

Ryan said the security guard in the building’s lobby would not let the process server upstairs. The guard called Tchen in her office and “she said she knew about” the subpoena, but refused to come down.

“I don’t know why she’d turn it down. She’ll be served eventually,” Ryan said.

Chicago Sun Times

With the unsealing of the case files, anyone with PACER access should be able to view everything including the calling of the emergency last minute hearing in which the charges were dropped and ordered sealed to know who submitted it to the court. Each time a case is reset, or anything of substance occurs, there is some documentary trail with names attached that is created and filed with the court system.

Rather than going with whatever spin any media outlet gives to such information, it is always best to avail oneself of the access to original primary source documents, if available, and draw ones own conclusions.

Oh, and in regards to a certain aforementioned member, we might see them, but it will have to be under a different username as the prior one officially wore out their welcome and got the ban hammer dropped.

Good, this needs to happen!!

This needs to happen to re-balance the scales.

Not to mention, Jussie might know a few people, but he is in no way "up there" enough to be made of teflon.

Those that helped him out should have realized that, unless those people conspired with him and it needed to be wiped completely clean.

Before the end, we are going to see more than Jussie's carreer go down the.......Smollett.

Okay okay i'm leaving...HEY!!! You don't have to twist my arm like that....I'm going...I'M GOING!!

Good Im glad this guy if nothing else is going to be exposed. Chicago is a joke for allowing this guy to walk so if nothing else on top of Empire getting cancelled maybe this smug dude gets a little bit of justice in the court of public opinion.

a reply to: jadedANDcynical

Since when can you refuse to take a subpoena.? I thought if they handed it to you and said you are served that's all it takes. In my area the court will send you a certified divorce papers if you sign for them with in a certain amount of time the court will log you as receiving divorce decree and you are officially divorced.

a reply to: jadedANDcynical

LMAO at how they're trying like weasels to run away from it. Gotta get those lawyers and "higher ups" lined up, oh and few media clips filled with racism accusations wouldnt hurt either.

Good.

Everyone involved in this needs to be legally nailed to the wall.

Kudos to Judge Watkins and former Judge O'Brien for unsealing and pursuing the case for further review. This nonsense should've never happened, Foxx and Tchen actions were not only pathetic but made a mockery out of our justice system. They should lose their jobs over this.

a reply to: Rewey

that's bc he is from the People's Commune of Boulder CO, where at least 50% of the population is bat# crazy liberals obsessed with 'progressive' 'activism.'

I hope Jussie gets publicly shamed for making up the crime. At the least. Whatever happened to the federal mail charges?
