We see it here in Australian politics more and more as both Labor and the Greens get more desperate for votes and power.

Also with a handful of fake Independants.

Jussie Smollett Indictment Imminent – To Come ‘IN HOURS — Not Days’

PLEA DEAL? Jussie Smollett’s Lawyers Make ‘Hail Mary’ Phone Call to Prosecutors to Postpone Grand Jury

[Serial Brain 9]

THE Empire Strikes Back

Jussie Smollett has been charged for falsely reporting he was attacked in January.

The Cook County, Illinois, state attorney has filed a felony disorderly conduct charge against the actor, not long after the Chicago Police Department officially named Smollett "a suspect in a criminal investigation," according to a spokesperson.

Police said earlier that filing a false police report is a Class 4 felony. Smollett could face prison time of one to three years if convicted and be forced to pay for the cost of the police investigation.

Detectives will make contact with his legal team to negotiate a reasonable surrender for his arrest.

Wednesday's development comes after Smollett's attorneys met with prosecutors and detectives and after police said two brothers, who were earlier deemed suspects, had testified before a grand jury with the power to indict Smollett. In a press conference Wednesday night, the brother's attorney said they had testified for more than two hours.

CBS News has learned detectives have been granted about a dozen search warrants to comb through Smollett's bank and cellphone records. CBS News correspondent Dean Reynolds said Smollett has retained the help of high profile lawyer Mark Geragos, whose clients have included Colin Kaepernick, Chris Brown and Michael Jackson.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

That is a bad day for him.

[Serial Brain 9]

It gets worse.

Jussie and his Legal team a preparing an “aggressive defence” of the allegations.

Seriously?

Things aren’t bad enough already?

[Serial Brain 9]

You just can’t make this stuff up. lol

Now, new information is revealing that Smollett already had a history of lying to police.

“A California misdemeanor complaint against Jussie Smollett shows the actor was accused of identifying himself as his younger brother in 2007 when a Los Angeles police officer pulled him over on suspicion of driving under the influence,” The Associated Press reported Tuesday.

Smollett identified himself as his younger brother, actor and celebrity chef Jake Smollett, after being pulled over and wrote his brother’s name on the promise to appear in court, the AP reported.

That wasn’t a bright idea because the actor ended up being charged with false impersonation as well as driving under the influence and driving without a valid license, the AP reported.

Smollett was sentenced to two years probation at the time.

This gives a clearer picture of Smollett’s character, which was already in question before this report came out.

It was bad enough that Smollett apparently orchestrated a fake hate crime and involved his friends in the hoax, but it looks like he’s the kind of person to throw his own brother under the bus when he’s in trouble.

Smollett obviously has some problems when it comes to telling the truth. A whole slew of Democrat politicians and celebrities are looking pretty foolish over this.

What sort of person would pretend to be their brother in a situation like that? There's obviously something very dishonest about him.
