They're basically saying he's guilty and stand by the charges, but won't pursue them as they're prioritising violent crime and Smollett isn't a danger, so they're dropping it in exchange for community service and keeping the $10k bond.

OMG I have just found a YouTube video PROVING that that person who posted that he was not exonerated on Twitter actually ran a lemonade stand when she was 9, FOR MONEY, so it's clear that she is obsessed with money and just wants some of that Smollett dollah. Discusten.

if he was completely innocent, his bond would have been returned and he wouldn't have done community service already.

America has a completely different legal system to the UK.

He could still face justice:

Jussie Smollett update: FBI reviewing circumstances of Jussie Smollett's charges being dropped, sources confirm

The FBI is reviewing the circumstances surrounding the dismissal of criminal charges against "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett, two law enforcement officials confirmed.

All 16 felony disorderly conduct counts against Smollett for allegedly lying to police were dropped Tuesday in exchange for community service and forfeiture of his $10,000 bond payment. A hearing Wednesday to expunge his criminal record has been delayed.

On Wednesday, Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx defended her office's decision to drop all charges against Smollett, who was accused of staging a racist and homophobic attack on himself.

"I believe this is a just outcome based on the circumstances," Foxx said.

Foxx said that the practice of dropping charges in exchange for community service and restitution is not uncommon for the Class 4 felonies that Smollett was charged with.

Even as Foxx said Smollett received no special treatment, officials in her office were circulating a memo that raised fresh questions.

The prosecutor's office dropped charges against Smollett on Tuesday, stunning the public and blindsiding Mayor Rahm Emanuel and CPD Supt. Eddie Johnson, who have been outspoken about what they said was overwhelming evidence to prove that Smollett had staged the attack in January in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood.

A federal probe by the FBI and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service into whether Smollett played a role in sending a threatening letter to himself prior to the allegedly staged attack remains open, despite Tuesday's developments, a law enforcement official told ABC News.

When someone makes Trump look like the adult in the room, you know they're ****ed.

[bots]

the only reason Donald is on it is because of the maga reference. I do think something stinks with Smolletts case so it should be sorted out

A chance to persecute a black person is good for his optics with racists so I'm not surprised.
