$130,106.15 is a joke.

How about the $Millions in private property damages and looting. How about 100's of persons physically harmed because of this Racist White Hate, Political based Stunt?

#2 more than two dozen cops spent weeks investigating the Smollett's claims, logging 1,836 overtime hours in the process.

The reason for that effort was that Cook County DA Kim Fox went all in on solving this horrible but obviously fake hate crime. I rather suspect the cops who took the original complaint would have dropped the whole mess.

Not a lawyer, but civil damages seems like a novel legal theory.

#5 it is smart to sue only for the time spent by investigation officers

since a Jury has already found Smollett guilty of false report all you need is billing info

going beyond this would be more trouble for the city of Chicago and also would be vindictive
