Smellit Lawsuit
- Outgoing Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s administration says it has gone to court to try to force Jussie Smollett to pay Chicago back for an alleged hate crime hoax even though Cook County prosecutors dropped all charges against the “Empire” actor.
The lawsuit, filed late Thursday in Circuit Court, comes after Smollett failed to pony up $130,106 by a deadline imposed by the city to cover the cost of the police overtime hours expended in the investigation into his allegations.
The upcoming battle in civil court promises in many ways to mirror the criminal charges against Smollett that were abruptly dismissed by prosecutors last month. Both center on the same question: Did Smollett stage a physical assault on himself, claiming his attackers shouted racial and homophobic slurs?
The suit did not specify the damages that the city will seek, but the city said that more than two dozen Chicago police officers and detectives worked a combined 1,836 hours of overtime over at least two weeks while investigating Smollett’s claims.
Now, will LightGroot's people finish it?

Smollett could fix this right quick by releasing a
rap song called "130-106." Could be a real clicking
hit from coast to coast. Could win a Grammy for best
song by an oppressed, persecuted gay black actor.
Jussie, get yo ass into gear, before somebody else
cops the title.
Stones could stage a come back on that song alone.
Keith on Satisfaction fuzz guitar, Mick on rage roid
vocals, Charlie bustin' your ears out.
Lightgroot will drop it. You know it. She is not our friend.
And I’m not sure about “Lightgroot” yet. I’m not digging it like “Shortshanks”, “42 short”, “9.5”, “9.5 digit midget”, “The Ballerina”, and some of the other assorted names we’ve had on here in years past. Maybe it’ll grow on me after a bit.
If I did half of what he did, I would be fired and in jail!
Rahm finally grew some balls.
Too bad this wasn’t the 1st year of the mayoral term / he may have gotten my vote,
Please brothers and sisters, let's not forget about our brother John Rivera and Cook County Judge Joseph Claps,who is directly to blame for his death!
Jussie, ever the consummate professional, drew upon
his acting background starting at age 6, and rehearsed
his own takedown with the two brothers. Premeditated
all the way. I say man up and pay your own bills.
Don't tell us you don't understand the system or the
severity of your actions. #CashforChicago
The Walt Disney Company has been a component of
the 30 stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average
since 1991. Disney now owns the rights to the Empire
series. Smollett may be bigger than Chicago (at this
time) but he is not bigger than Disney. Disney is into
production of princess movies and mega hits like
Frozen. Not only do they sell the original product,
they make a fortune on the related merchandise.
I see no demand for a Jussie Smollett action figure.
The fact that this man is free to walk the streets is a
slap in the face to Chicago and a disgrace to our
legal system. Smollett and his string pullers should
all be in custody.
Thinking about a wedding cake ruse Jussie? Well, that's been
done before so you won't have any trouble finding a cake.
You'll just have to pay $350K (up front and non-refundable).
That's free market economics. You got a reputation as a guy
who don't pay his traffic tickets so to speak.
Three groups that want this to go away, Chicago politicians, the State's Attorney, Smollett and his Hollywood entourage. Watch this die a quiet death.
Smollett may be under the delusion that he is the latest
incarnation of Philip Michael Thomas (from Miami Vice
fame) with all his looks and poses. Telegram to Jussie:
those days are way past over and so are you.
Be careful what you wish for. Stagehands could not help
but notice that Tubbs had the greasiest facial skin they
ever encountered. The pancake makeup for that series
must have cost a small fortune.
Juss, have you ever thought of shilling for Arizona
State University? Seems like they have a low bar
for pitch men.
I.Q. tests have a problem; if you take the test three times
the score goes up
Lightgroot, the lightbrain, lightloafer, lighthater will drop the suit or mess it up somehow. Whatever she does will cost the city millions. It's in her demonrat blood because it's someone else's money and keeps the rest of us poor.
It's a slam dunk for the city, but expect the city to come to a low key "equitable resolution" with this lying freak anyway.
Geragos, his attorney, talking tough. Really? Have you looked at the facts, asshole? No? See you in court.
Like I say, slam dunk.
Put the fabricator under oath in a deposition. He'll either continue to lie through his teeth, or he'll plead the 5th. Either one is fine. If he lies, then we finally get the trial we wanted; if he pleads the 5th, it can be used against him since it's a civil action.
Dumbfuck will end up spending millions in legal fees to avoid a trial, which is what he dreads the most.
If only we could count on the city to maintain a hard line here. It won't.
Streeterville resident here. Only wish a fraction of the expended CPD detective-time would be spent on investigating actual violent crimes that occur within Streeterville, where a Streeterville resident is robbed, beaten, and then hospitalized, to be told "nothing can be done" by CPD investigators towards arresting said unknown assailants. All those cameras, and somehow the investigation won't occur. As example, a middle-aged woman was mugged outside the Walgreens at Illinois/McClurg at 5 pm on a summer Saturday, beaten by black teens, robbed, and hospitalized with a broken eye-socket and other injuries. Nope. No investigation. Nope, no arrest. Probably pays $10,000/year taxes on her Streeterville condo too. Tis a pity...
Gonna be dropped as soon as the new mayor gets in.
Just to be clear - this is not an attack on Ms. Foxx’s race, it is an attack on her ethics and her efficacy as State’s Attorney.
Justice is Blind.
Not incapable of doing the job!
The whole world is laughing at ShitCago on this issue and how stupid the DA is, and by the way Jussie is in Hawaii laughing at ShitCago. Get ready for the Race card issue to get thrown out by his lawyer!
The charges were dropped. The lawsuit is going nowhere. Waste of money. Add the countless hours that will be spent on employees working this lawsuit, and Chicago will just be deeper in the hole.
Lori will tell us to move on as she drops the suit like the hypocrite machine Democratic racist she is. Stupid Edward Siskel will follow her orders to be kept as corporation counsel.
LL will drop that suit, quietly.
Funny how they increase the fee YOU pay if you're late paying a bill or a speed/parking ticket. Maybe they should add "late payment" fees onto his judgement...
Doubt it!
With the suit being filed, this now opens the door to Rahm and Supernintendo's depositions being taken.
It's going to be really entertaining to read and watch but I can't believe they are that stupid.
Then again, this is Chicago and no level of stupidity surprises me any more.
just send a 1099
call it: loss of credibility and stupidity in race relations
anybody wanna bet city law department screws up the lawsuit?
Lori needs to let this proceed.
Fuck Jussie let him pay up.
This will be out of sight and mind in the next 2 weeks
Mayor elect Fedfoot has the check already written for all the police harassment the city has caused the next spokesperson for Subway...
This boys and girls in blue is what you're up against, good luck and god bless...
Four days into her role as the new Cook County state’s attorney, Kimberly M. Foxx this week laid out her larger policy priorities for both civil and criminal law and identified her leadership team.
In a sit-down interview with the Daily Law Bulletin, Foxx named five individuals who have or will join the office leadership. She also discussed some of the policy goals she has set for the next four years, as outlined in a 12-page report her transition team released Monday.
Eric H. Sussman, a partner at Paul Hastings LLP, will be Foxx’s first assistant state’s attorney. Sussman is a former federal prosecutor who handled white-collar criminal cases. He is married to Cook County Circuit Judge Carrie E. Hamilton, a fellow former prosecutor.
April M. Perry will join the office Jan. 1 as Foxx’s chief deputy and the office’s chief ethics officer. As an assistant U.S. attorney, Perry argued before the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that former Chicago police commander Jon Burge had lied about the torture regime he led in the department.
Jennifer M. Ballard, a partner at Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP, will also pull double duty as Foxx’s chief of staff and the office’s diversity officer. Ballard, who handled employment law matters for clients including Law Bulletin Publishing Company, placed second in a six-way Democratic primary race for a vacancy in the 7th Judicial Subcircuit in March.
Kathleen A. Hill, a senior policy adviser for Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office, will become the office’s director of policy, research and development. Prior to that, she was an assistant state appellate defender and an attorney at Loevy & Loevy — a firm that handles civil rights and police-misconduct litigation.
Foxx said the research and development components of Hill’s job are a new add-on to the traditional policy director role.
Jessie ain't gonna pay shit.
Who is the city fooling !!!!!
Sure they will! They will also solve the city deficits and needed repair of city infrastructure! I'm betting different circus with the same "CLOWNS"!

the same test, yes, different tests no
All that Michelle Obama's connected, corrupt hens have to do is ask George Soros to write a chump change check (for him) to make all this go away.
out of court settlement terms undisclosed no admitton of any wrong doing
Rahms parting shot. It's one thing not to file the civil suit. It's another to drop one already filed.
No. Lightfoot won’t
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCr4Dy8evq8 Watch this. Its a Hoot!
kimesah got to go to the grammys on the red carpet for her part in this, bet all travel was paid-off err paid for her trip also,compliments of hollywood club. Hmm the star wars video with cpd coppers as the stars, were the coppers on duty and getting paid? Did empire and hollywood reimburse the taxpayers for that waste of time? Was this part of the smellit payoff? just axin.
Ok, lawsuit now and again all for show.
FlipFlops LightLoafer will dismiss the overreach of the Corp Council - just watch.
There’s a new sheriff coming to town and it ain’t Reggie Hammond.
Ever notice there’s a 1.5% penalty for late payments, outstanding balances per month on our water bills?
I won’t figure the property tax bill or parking/speed camera late penalties.
Shithole Chicago is always more interested in shaking down taxpayers.
Hope the Fed will look into his finances and back checks all the beneficiaries when they too will lob some expenditures at him.
I think the two implicated brothers may have more to say about hush money and offers too.
No, they will not...

"Cook County inspector general to review prosecutors' handling of Jussie Smollett case"
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-kim-foxx-jussie-smollett-20190412-story.html
So Foxx wants an investigation, and she gets to pick the investigator?
Foxx must think Chicagoans are really stupid.
OK, the next time I wind up in court as a defendant, then I get to be able to pick the judge and prosecutor. Only fair, right?
Come on Kim. If you really want to clear your name, how about answering some of these questions:
1. Why did you suddenly drop the case?
2. What was the "emergency" that justified this?
3. Why did you request the court file be sealed?
4. Why don't you request the court file be un-sealed?
5. Why did you recuse yourself, and then not follow thru with a request for an appointment of a special prosecutor?
6. Why didn't any black police leaders stand with you publicly at the JJ/PUSH event last weekend?
7. Why were Rahm and Special Ed not consulted before you dismissed the charges?
8. Why did Rahm call this a "whitewash of justice"?
9. Why did you and police feel the case was so solid, and then all of a sudden you changed your mind? What changed?
Just caught a newsflash from wls radio with Lori Lightfoot saying Jussie Smollett committed a hoax and the case is not on her list of priorities with all the things going on in Chicago. News Person Bill Cameron commented, watch this go away in the next administration.
Now the criminal evidence can be exposed and use against him. Go ahead jussie, fight it.
Also...In regards to the criminal case and the upcoming motions. Why hasn't anyone in the media mentioned that the Presiding Judge's son, Leroy Martin III, is a new prosecutor hired by Crimesha. That sounds like grounds for a Special Prosecutor and a change of venue.
If she drops the suit she'll be nationally held in contempt and feel the deep repugnance of her by the public. All the Fed prosecutor BS is out the window. She's in hard ball corruption politics now. Going to the Feds for anything you better bring evidence or a snitch with you. No one is jumping for Little Lori. She ain't in Kansas and clicking her red slippers won't do jack.
She is coming into the world of shit know as Chicago. She got a "lesson learned" when the Aldermen got the Lincoln Yards and 78th approved. Lori got 24 hours to hear Rahm tell her why this is a real good deal for Chicago. Rahm and the Aldermen got what they wanted. Lori got a few minority contractors and some other trinkets. In the meantime all those "other" previous deals made, are now locked in. Great negotiation skills Lori. How does the snake oil taste.
Mayor Murder is leaving in a few weeks. It'll be Little Lori and Special Ed protecting the community. When the community continues to bleed out during the summer by its own hand we all will be waiting for you and Special Ed to tell us why murder and mayhem is now happening on your watch. Maybe you can use Rahm's magical 1000 new police hire's as an excuse. The media bought that hook, line and sinker. They never ask how many leave the Department because they're afraid to get the answer.

The County IG was appointed by Preckwinkle , the supporter of the State’s Attorney. The IG will need to order buckets of White , oops I meant Black Wash.

Lightfoot can drop the lawsuit anytime she wants
Oh Boy Kimesha how about that "confidential" memo where you friend you begged to bring over and she came first name is April the resignation notice you have, hmm how many more are leaving your lying ass?
April M. Perry will join the office Jan. 1 as Foxx’s chief deputy and the office’s chief ethics officer. As an assistant U.S. attorney, Perry argued before the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that former Chicago police commander Jon Burge had lied about the torture regime he led in the department.
In my last post named April Perry she is gone soon could not take kims lying and blaming everyone but herself for the things she does.
And I’m not sure about “Lightgroot” yet. I’m not digging it like “Shortshanks”, “42 short”, “9.5”, “9.5 digit midget”, “The Ballerina”, and some of the other assorted names we’ve had on here in years past. Maybe it’ll grow on me after a bit.

Tiny Dancer 9.5 and TD 9.5 in shortened form (pun intended) and shanks are my personal favorites.
1. Why did you suddenly drop the case?
4/12/2019 03:36:00 PM
1. Why, after the defendant was indicted by a grand jury, did you suddenly drop the case?
When any magistrate {government} working out of God's will you have a civil government that is corrupt and raucous.
This filthy corrupt government will make marijuana legal and prey on it's citizens with gambling. Going along to get along one has blood in their hands.
These edicts are not to be obeyed!
Jacob
Mark my words,
The Corp counsel will screw up the law suit!
The Corp counsel will drop this law suit once city is sued by Smollett,
Lori Lightfoot will order the Corp Counsel to silently drop the case!
Which one works? Only time will tell.
.....there is not enough popcorn for this show.
I can't wait for this saga to continue.
It is so much fun to watch Jussie squirm and dodge.
Also it is fun to watch his many cop-hating defenders make morons of themselves.
Here is hoping Light-winkle keeps it in play. "Lawsuits are fun!"
I like the Beacon for LL
The machine would have been far better than what this city is about to get. You all were so fixated on beating Pretwinkle that you forgot all about Lori's anti police history and the fact that she was first given the spotlight by Rham. This will be the same shit, different day. Eddie needs to go. He has done more damage than good and most of his top people are leaving. First Deputy Riccio by force, Dep. Chief Ryan, Dep. Chief Washington, Chief Calloway who has only been a Chief for a few months great loyalty there Eddie and was directly involved in a CPD scandal with Deb Kirby but you promoted him anyway, and more. The troops have no confidence in you and we are who make this city and department move safely. You are just a camera person who has no clue what's going on in your own police department. By the way great choice in Detective Chief. The city loves her clearance rates. FOH Your main downfall who keeps using her personal status to get ahead. That doesn't make her competent moron.
If CWB stays on this, there just might be a chance that our newly minted mayor won't be able to make it all go away.
IF.
Lori is Rahm’s girl. She’s keeping Eddie. She will refuse to take a hard line on feral predators because they commit crimes because of lack of opportunity. She’s in love with obstructing fake Ferguson. The city made a horrible mistake electing this racist cop hater.

Wait a minuter we have a detective chief you have to be kidding! Noway could anyone be in charge with the lackluster clearance rates and out of control unlimited overtime!The best thing lori could do is abolish that division and that rank, it is not needed anyway because they do nothing and the states attorney doesn't want any people of color that do 90% of the violent crime in chiraq crook county in jail or in the system anyway!
"...I see no demand for a Jussie Smollett action figure..."
You never asked me nor any guys who go to Wrigley Field.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
"...Streeterville resident here..."
Apology accepted.
