President Donald Trump announced Thursday morning that the FBI and Department of Justice are launching a probe into the Jussie Smollett case.
FBI & DOJ to review the outrageous Jussie Smollett case in Chicago. It is an embarrassment to our Nation!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 28, 2019
Smollett was initially indicted on 16 felony counts related to an allegedly false police report from a staged hate crimes attack. All charges against him were abruptly dropped Tuesday.
Based on a press conference soon after, Chicago police and Mayor Rahm Emanuel still believe in Smollett’s guilt.
The details surrounding why Smollett’s fate changed so drastically are still murky.
Exactly what the president should be focusing on now. What a dolt.
Indeed. Truly a matter of national importance.
That was sarcasm by the way.
The abomination then announced FBI and DOJ investigations into Alec Baldwin, Rachel Maddow, Adam Schiff, Colin Kaepernick, and John McCain.
Cuz that’s what presidentin’s all about.
dicktator never misses an opportunity, does he?
My brain is sputtering. It’s all about the ratings, amirite? His deplorables will love it; it’s got all the elements.
Maybe it will keep him from invading Venezuela this week.
Or not.
