Apparently the other so called “stars” of Empire are demanding that they rehire Jussie Smollett for the next season of the show I never even heard of before the Smollett hoax. Left wing hacktors and hacktresses will always stick together.

In the letter, sent on April 19 and obtained and published by Deadline, the “Empire” stars claim that the Smollett debacle has reached “a conclusion.” The actor, they insist, is not only “innocent and no longer subject to legal uncertainty,” he has demonstrated that he is “honest and above all he is filled with integrity” while suffering through this “traumatic event.”
Though the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office did agree to drop the 17 felony charges against the actor without requiring an admission of guilt, Assistant State’s Attorney Joseph Magats, who made the widely criticized decision, has made clear that the office did in fact believe he was guilty. The City of Chicago’s subsequent lawsuit against Smollett — filed by the city’s Law Department a little over a week before the “Empire” cast’s letter — alleges that Smollett “knew his attackers and orchestrated the purported attack himself,” and “when police confronted him with evidence about his attackers, he still refused to disclose his involvement in planning the attack.”
After listing Smollett’s various social justice credentials, the cast issues what Deadline describes as an overtly “political” assertion about the circumstances surrounding his case: “It’s clearer every day that the extreme political climate in our country has only made our system of justice and the court of public opinion more unjust.”
