Priceless
- Two bodybuilding brothers say their reputations were trashed by lawyers for Jussie Smollett, but proving the actor’s celebrity attorneys owe them damages may mean proving the same case against the “Empire” actor that Cook County prosecutors dropped last month.
Brothers Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against Smollett’s lawyers, Tina Glandian and Mark Geragos, claiming the two lawyers smeared them on national television and in podcast interviews after Cook County prosecutors abruptly dropped charges against Smollett a month ago. But defamation lawsuits often hinge on one issue: whether the alleged harmful statements were true.
We're imagining that this is a play for a payoff, but it may have the unintended consequence of validating the police investigation as portions (or all) of the sealed records become public - including cell and text messages from some politically heavy players being forced into the light.
That probably won't be allowed to happen, so expect some sort of settlement (i.e. a bribe) to drop the lawsuit shortly.
Looks like Crimesha will be left behind to deal with the fallout.

Kim Foxx - Time to resign.
Incompetence is NOT a job skill.
Next case.
Everything is for sale in Chicago.
Hey, don't forget to do your ethics test.
I hope they have good lawyers.
They were dupes.
Too bad they can’t squeal on the people that put Jussie up to this hair brained scheme.
Ah.
The lovely Pandora's box of the civil lawsuit.
Or is it more like that box of chocolates?
Dear Santa, all I want this Christmas is a Cabrini Kim doll in an orange prison jumpsuit.
Smolett is a coward. He won't testify. There will be a settlement for sure.
There is more here than meets the eye. The brothers and their legal representatives are only asking for $150K. The lawsuit is not about the money. It is about getting to the truth. If Geragos does not get it dismissed, this lawsuit is going to get more than $150K for the brothers via a settlement or, if there is no settlement, the truth will be spilled for all to hear. The brothers are turning the screws on Juicie. Somebody had their thinking cap turned to the evil genius level!
Hope they don’t take an offer. That case needs to be busted wide open. We know that Kamala Harris and the Obamas have some role in this mess.
Garrets selling 100# sacks of "Chiraqi Soap Opera" flavor?
They only asked for $150,000
.
I also believe nothing will come of this except a quick payout. These two mopes don't have two nickels to their name and will quickly accept the $$$
Smollett’s legal bills to fight the city’s debt collection with triple damages and this suit will cost that lower at least 5-figures (unless George Soros pays it for him).
And the demand for only $75k each is just enough to keep the case alive and considered serious by a judge, rather than having it SOJ. Good strategy to get it unsealed. Garagos's crew are so arrogant to call the suit "Comical". What if we (police) call victim's claims "comical"? Very minimum we would get a CR number. Unless we happen to hold a merit position.
out of court settlement or not ,sealed records or not ,if the feds find enough evidence of a crime via Crimesha it could open everything up to public scrutiny,m in fact Smellet could be re charged as double jeopardy would not apply if the "fix" was in
Hmm, Having gotten his Get Out of Jail Free card from Foxx, you don't think that Jussie and the Bros figured to get his lawyer money back by pulling another trick? Of course not!
Well, at least no one can say that Kim Foxx doesn't care about crime. She reminds me of a former preezy that spent his second term pardoning a drug dealer a week. No, not the one everyone seems to want to impeach.
Maybe Barack can broker a white wine spritzer summit between these parties.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Garrett's has a yuge waste basket sized tub of chicago legal mix on sale.
Between this case and the city's case against Smellitt we should finally get some action. The truth may finally come out...under oath, where talk counts. Which is the last thing Smellitt and his lawyers want.
damn, i really wanted the truth to come out
Sorry Kimmy NO DEAL for you. Too stupid to realize while you were a moth to the flame of the powerful, they are the ones that will prevail and you will get BURNT UP
When this whole Jessie Smellit thing is over with, the only one left out in the cold will be Crimesha. Everyone else will go on with their merry little lives, but Crimesha is poison in political circles, so she’s going nowhere. Maybe she could be a waitress at the Oscars next year?
Cabrini Kim o/p/j Prada Edition,
That'll cost you extra. We follow the marketing strategy
of GM executive Alfred P. Sloan, "a car for every purse
and purpose."
What “reputations”? Their reputations as unemployed, freeloading opportunist pillow biter Foam Boys ?
They addressed requesting $150k. It's the minimum amount that has to be put for a federal lawsuit. The attorney addressed that at the last part of the press conference.
The box of secrets is being slowly opened, who will protect kimesha and her crew,the crew is rapidly jumping ship,crimeisha is pointing her sausage fingers at anyone and no 1 is taking that bait. The only cure is federal intervention, the "No trump zone," bullshit is leaving a footprint as big as the ancient dinosaurs all over the backs of the most corrupt democrats in this country. They are the nails when will the feds drop the sledgehammers? Load them up and ship them out!
This law suite smells to high heaven. The brothers are only asking for $150,000, that is $75,000 a piece. This could be a end run around further investigation into this case. The brothers get paid, the civil and criminal cases are over with. I keep on hearing about the Federal Investigation into the letter that was sent. How long does it take to compete that investigation? Something not right.
This is the last time I'll say this... YOU DONT WANT KIM FOXX TO RESIGN. If she does, Preckwinkle will choose her successor, who would then run (as an incumbent) against a preferred choice (like Jerry Joyce), only the new incumbent (Kimmie 2.0) won't have Kimmie's baggage. And might win. Because Cook County residents are morons. Never underestimate the stupidity of the Cook County voter.

That's the jurisdictional minimum for federal court. They will be asking for much more when the case goes to a jury.
well it'll be easy to prove damages because these bums will probably never get a real job and they can always blame that on their damaged reputation ... so I guess that's working for them
Kim has proved that she has the mental capacity to become a Democratic Senator from the great State of Illinois. At the very least she should be elected to Congress. From there who knows the Supreme Court could be a realistic possibility. Go Kim.
It’s ALL about Lies, 24-7-365, here in Obamaland.
According to the wgn noon news, the large governor is under federal scrutiny for his toilet disappearing act, to get a tax break!!!
To Win Jussie Smollett Suit, Brothers May Need To Do What Kim Foxx Didn't - Chicago Sun-Times
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/jussie-smollett-osundairo-empire-defamation-lawsuit-hoax-attack/
Hopefully Fox News and a bunch of other conservative true news media outlets offers more money for them to provide the exact same info they gave to police along with phone records and text messages. Then the settlement will go up if Juciey and his scum Lieyours want a non disclosure.
(OT) again Rahm has no corporation counsel another f to taxpayers it’s police fault:
Jury awards $21.3M to family of mother of 5 killed in high-speed police chase

For your information, they are both personal trainers and professional life coaches. They spent three days in a conference room up by O'Hare Airport learning the skills to bring fitness and direction to other people's lives. Now their careers have been cut short because of the bad publicity and the insults and insinuations hurled at them by Mark Geragos and his people from the Geragos Law Firm. Terrible, just terrible. Justice will not be denied!
The attorneys also included the defamation of the police (and City) by the County in their filing.
Nice move.
FakeNews media outlets keep referring to the brothers as “who Police say staged the attack”.
Police didn’t say anything of the sort.
The brothers confessed and gave their statement on video, yet FakeNews is still won’t move on from the “allegation” stage even though there’s no crime according to CookCo legal standard of tolerance and forgiveness.
Time to m-oooooove on.
Meanwhile, The Right Man for the Right Time™️, DrRev Special “Text Me, Maybe” Ed PhD is idled in a quiet padded room awaiting another uncontrollable blood summer, It’s Not About Toughness™️ preparation mode.
Fuck Jussie Smollett and his white female political
counterpart Elizabeth Warren. This is our fucked
society today. Both have skills, one has an education,
and both have more money than the average bear.
They get on TV and Cry, Baby, Cry Baby, Cry Baby
like Janis Joplin. Fuck the pseudo-penniless rich
manipulators in America. You know to go after
when things break down.
Jussie, just sell your condo, pay off your debts, then
move into a communal Pod. You would be fucking good
for laughs. Fox and Disney don't want you anymore, Bro.
Mother of 5 killed in high speed police.
City to pay $21.3 mil.
STOP CHASING ! ! !
Edward Siskel, Ferguson, Scheinfeld, fat ed, Steve Berlin are all friends of racist Lori. Nothing will change. Lori is an arrogant mini Rahm who hates the cops and all of Rahm’s inner circle listed above will stay and continue the corruption.

I thought i heard'em trying to pin it on da wife. Charges intent to defraud taxpayers or something like that
Jussie Smollett Should Be “Brought Back” For ‘Empire’s Next Season, Taraji P Henson & Terrence Howard Tell Disney, Fox.
(https://deadline.com/2019/04/empire-cast-crew-letter-jussie-smolett-return-fox-disney-1202601208/)
Hopefully, the next headline will be:
Disney, Fox Tell Taraji P. Henson & Terrence Howard To Clean Out Their Lockers & Security Will Escort Them From The Premises.
Lawyer here.
They are not asking for 75k each. They are asking for an amount that EXCEEDS 75k. There are two ways to get into federal court in a civil suit. Federal question jurisdiction which you boys usually see when you get sued by shithead pursuant to section 1983 of the Federal Code and diversity of citizenship, which the Nigerians are using. In diversity you can bring a state law claim (defamation) to federal court so long as the plaintiff and defendant are residents of different states and damages are AT LEAST 75k. Standard procedure to allege “an amount that exceeds 75k” even though you want more.
In a civil case Smollett can be compelled to testify. Get a new popcorn popper, this is going to be really fun to watch.
