Jussie Smollett and the brotherhood of the traveling MAGA… – Communities Digital News

WASHINGTON. Last week, a federal judge approved warrants allowing Special Prosecutor Dan Webb access to Empire actor Jussie Smolletts Google account with its photos, private messages, and location data. The probe seeks to discover if the actor/singer violated the law by claiming he was a victim of a vicious hate crime in January 2019.

You may recall the fake-news frenzy that followed Smolletts explosive charge that two MAGA-hatted thugs hurled racial and homophobic slurs his way, beat him, doused him in bleach, placed a rope around his neck, and ended the assault with the ultimate coup de gras: they yelled,

The Washington Posts Karen Attiah expressed her outrage.

Recently, CNN was forced to pay millions of dollars in punitive damages for recklessly accusing high-schooler Nickolas Sandmann of racism and physical intimidation.
