“Empire” actor Jussie Smollett was exonerated by a crooked prosecutor in Chicago for faking a hate crime and, potentially, igniting racial riots around the country, but that doesn’t mean he’s out of hot water.
Reports noted Wednesday that federal authorities are continuing to investigate the hoax and alleged criminal actions surrounding it. The FBI and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service have been investigating Smollett, according to ABC, to discover whether Smollett sent a fake threatening letter to himself as part of the hoax.
The letter was mailed to the Chicago office used for filming Empire.
The letter said, “You will die black f-g” and featured a stick-figure drawing of a person hanging from a tree. Also, envelope it came in had the letters “MAGA” written on it in red — a reference to President Donald Trump’s campaign slogan of “Make America Great Again.” And it contained a white powder which turned out to be crushed aspirin.
The federal probe is ongoing despite the corruption in Chicago. “The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is working closely with our law enforcement partners on this investigation. We are unable to provide any additional comment at this time,” the U.S. Postal Service said in a statement, according to Fox News.
Network legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano explained why mailing the letter can be a federal offense.
“If he mailed that threatening letter to himself by using the post office, he engaged in postal fraud. That’s five to 10 years in jail — that’s three times what he’s facing for...

Ann Coulter: Hold the Pulitzers
The only people surprised that the special counsel’s investigation of Russian collusion did not confirm a lunatic conspiracy theory are consumers of the modern American media. For two years, our constitutionally protected guardians of the truth put out a stream of misinformation, promising viewers that Robert Mueller was going to reverse the outcome of the 2016 election.
Everyone at fake news MSNBC, marginally less fake news NBC, and totally fake news CNN — hosts, guests, legal experts and national security analysts — should be told, Clean out your lockers. Put all your things in cardboard cartons. If you need to go back, you will be escorted by security.
Instead, they are adamantly refusing to take back their years of lies about Trump and Russian collusion. This is not a time to let bygones by bygones. The boot should not be lifted from the media’s throat.
In case you’ve forgotten what needs to be taken back, here is a random selection, from a single network for simplicity:
“Hi Nicolle, and if it is Monday, the Russian conspiracy is so much worse than we knew … The Russian conspiracy to help get Donald Trump elected was apparently wider, deeper, dirtier, more sophisticated and more pervasive than we thought.”
— Katy Tur, MSNBC, Dec. 17, 2018

“Well, this demonstrates that Robert Mueller is focusing on exactly what he is supposed to be focusing on, and that is Russia … We already have clear evidence of collaboration between the Trump campaign and Russian agents.”
— Richard Painter, lawyer, MSNBC, May 1, 2018
** ** **
“You see all of these Russian connections — there’s a new one every single day, and increasingly benign explanations for what the Trump, for what they’re up to, benign explanations are just not credible.”
— Max Boot, warmonger, MSNBC, July 21, 2017
** ** **
“We have the most immoral president perhaps in American history particularly because of the foreign influence of Russia … it is hard to believe that a prosecutor of Mueller’s testing and experience would come to the end of this and not have something to say about these terrible offenses.”
— John Flannery, lawyer, MSNBC, March 18, 2019
** ** **
“I’ll tell you something, if (Russia’s ‘inside man’ is) not George Papadopoulos, then we’ve got a mystery person inside the Trump campaign who theoretically could still be in place.”
— Frank Figliuzzi, former assistant director for counterintelligence, FBI, MSNBC, Jan. 9, 2018
** ** **
“I believe that what we have here is a very broad-based criminal conspiracy. … And Donald Trump is a walking example of how any intelligence officer can turn someone against their own nation. As John Brennan said, most of the time, they don’t even know that they’re committing treason.”
— Malcolm Nance, counterterrorism intel analyst, MSNBC, Nov. 30, 2018

“This is the linkage between Donald Trump and Russia in crimes.”
— Jill Wine-Banks, assistant Watergate prosecutor, MSNBC, Dec. 7, 2018

“It’s going to be so clear that this has been a criminal enterprise from day one with the Russians and Trump …”
— Rep. Steve Cohen, MSNBC, Dec. 7, 2018

“Were these gun rights folks potentially a conduit for Russian money alongside other forms of Russian government influence on our 2016 campaign?”
— Rachel Maddow, MSNBC, July 25, 2018

“And what about Trump’s ringleadership of his people, including family members and their efforts to win this award of a foreign power, Russia, to win the presidency?”
— Chris Matthews, MSNBC, March 8, 2019
** ** **
“And the Russians’ investment in (Trump) goes back decades. … It may have been the situation where (Trump) decided, look, what Russia is giving us in terms of political help here and undermining Hillary Clinton’s candidacy may be way bigger than any deal we could ever get in Russia.”
— Natasha Bertrand, The Atlantic, MSNBC, Nov. 30, 2018
** ** **
“So, with this whole real estate deal and the claws that the Russians had into (Cohen), and what he was doing with that in terms of dealing with the Russians was all part and parcel of this conspiracy that resulted in their assistance in the campaign.”
— Nick Akerman, assistant Watergate prosecutor, MSNBC, Nov. 30, 2018

“An American president who has been compromised by the Russians faces the world.”
— Chris Hayes, MSNBC, Nov. 30, 2018

ILLEGAL ALIEN WHO REPEATEDLY STABBED WOMAN WITH BROKEN BEER BOTTLE WAS LIVING OFF OF TAXPAYERS
LOWELL, MA (The Boston Herald) – A man accused of kidnapping his ex-girlfriend and stabbing her 18 times with a broken beer bottle in Tewksbury was arraigned as “John Doe” today because he has a fraudulent Massachusetts ID as well as welfare cards — and police don’t know who he is.
The man, arraigned in Lowell District Court as John Doe aka “Luis Hernandez,” was held without bail. Police say he stole the identity of a Puerto Rican man. He is now being investigated by ICE to determine whether he is an illegal immigrant.
The man was charged with armed assault with intent to murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, mayhem, aggravated assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, kidnapping, intimidating a witness, impeding a police investigation, possessing/using a false RMV document, identity fraud, furnishing a false ID to law enforcement, and assault and battery on a family/household member.
The man listened in court Tuesday afternoon as a Spanish interpreter relayed the charges.
“It’s unclear what his true identity is,” Assistant District Attorney Gregory Galizio told Judge Barbara Pearson.
The defendant told Pearson through the interpreter that his name is Luis Hernandez and he was born in January 1983.
On Monday, his ex-girlfriend living above Tewksbury Funeral Home tried to escape. The man had locked her in the...
