City officials on Thursday ordered Jussie Smollett to pay $130,000 to cover the cost of the investigation into his report of a street attack that police say was staged to promote his career.
A letter from the city’s legal department to Smollett and his attorneys said that figure covers overtime worked by more than two dozen detectives and officers who spent weeks looking into Smollett’s claim, including reviewing video and physical evidence and conducting interviews.
Those resources, the letter said, “could have been used for other investigations.”
Hours earlier, President Donald Trump tweeted that the FBI and the Department of Justice would review the “outrageous” case, calling it an “embarrassment” to the country.
Prosecutors infuriated Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the police chief this week when they abruptly dropped 16 felony counts that accused Smollett of making a false police report about being the target of a racist, anti-gay attack in January.
Smollett has maintained his innocence and insisted that the attack was real.
He was attacked by two Nigerian bodybuilders in ‘whiteface.’
(Witnesses say they were riding unicorns).

You’re pushing your luck, little man.
IS ANYONE ELSE GETTING A WOODY FROM RAHM EMANUEL GETTING THIS SMOLLETT DILDO BEING SHOVED UP HIS ASS???
ALWAYS KEEPING ON THE SUNNY SIDE!! THAT’S ME!! 🙂
Make his life a living hell; just as he intended for any white men that the police may have considered as the perpetrators. He would have identified them as the men who “attacked” him.
Chicongo can go pound sand. This is the simple posturing of privileged men who want the Country think they are blameless and abused. It’s a Cops job to write reports and meet his quota for tickets and arrests. They should charge extra when they think they wasted their time? LOL. Try that at your job.
Kind of makes that forfeited $10,000 bond look pretty small, now, hey Schnooky?
Why does Kim Foxx look like the Grape Ape?

Anyone else think that Foxx chick looks an awful lot like Oprah?
How long before the Nigerian brothers sue Jussie and his lawyers for libel? I’m thinking hoaxy and his idiot attorneys are talking themselves straight into a lawsuit.
Who’s the Morlock?
HAW – HAW! 😀
I’m getting 1933 Empire State Building flashbacks from Kim, but that’s just me.
The Donald is coming for you, Smelly Smolett.
Pushing his luck? 1,000 THIS WEB SUCK bucks says he’ll be hosting the next Grammy awards. Probably even the White House Correspondents dinner.
Something tells me the Nigerian Nightmares are rubbing Preezy DownLow’s shoulders until this is over.
Fun Fact for Black Eye for the Queer Guy, when you sue the Chicago PD, that discovery phase and all your communication and potential family members’ communications opens right back up.
And then you’ll see obstruction of justice and perjury when lying in a deposition. Their attorney is going to jump on your head with both feet, dipshit.
So press you luck if your feeling froggy.
Smollett is NOT sane.
If he were a victim of a crime, why would he need to say he is innocent?
Jussie, pal, ya blew it. Just because you’re close to Obama and have pearly white tonsils, there are no guarantees you’re gonna get off.
Nope, this is Chi-Town Kabuki theatre. $130,000 is chump change – a prop in the perpetual Smollett hoax. Rahm Emanuel doesn’t care that Juicey escaped justice – for now. Emanuel is playing the part of a law abiding city official standing with the people. He should get an Oscar for his performance.
The progtard sheeple will do a GoFundMe account to pay this for the sodomite.
