Almost as if who-ever was sending it didn't want anyone matching their printing or handwriting. You know, in case they became a person of interest in say a fraudulent claim...
...Something about the envelope must have raised concerns. Smollett would later tell police that he and Empire’s executive producer donned gloves before they opened it...
Concerns yes, like they didn't want to get their fingerprints on it, so they wore gloves just like they did when then prepared it??? Who has gloves laying around the office? Sure, I've got nitrile gloves in my first aid kit in my car, but not in my desk drawer...
I'm not buying any of it now. He's apparently a lower-mid level actor who wants more fame, money, power, whatever. He is already fairly surely implicated in faking the attack. I believe he almost certainly is behind the letter too.
Consider "the story" (aka excuse) being floated now. That he was concerned about the lack of action/concern regarding the threatening letter so he staged the attack to draw attention to it? Hmm, in a week eh? So if we're to believe that, this means he got the letter, reported it. Then it would surely take a day or two, probably more like 3 or 4 before he'd see a definitive lack of action. So then in the span of the next 3 or 4 days he conceives of an "attack" manages to locate and convince two trusted dupes to help, plans it, and then finds just the right time to execute it?
Admittedly it wasn't a great plan, didn't have a-list help, and the execution was probably something that would've hit the cutting room floor. So maybe it was just rushed BS. But it is more likely the sitting around thinking about how to draw attention to himself occurred *before* these events. Then both were put together as a result of the same frustration.
If some crazy person wanted to threaten a nobody actor, they would NOT know to send a letter to the studio where it’s filmed, they would send it to the network (Fox?).
Funny too, that Jussie knew he should don gloves before opening the white powder letter.
His IQ cannot be very high. He’s invented not one, but at least two hoaxes full of holes from the start.
The letter took four days to reach his hands.
The emerging theory makes a lot of sense to me.
My favorite bit was the noose being tied in a Windsor knot. We deplorables know how to construct a proper noose.
I also liked this bit ...
So, why’d she have her window open so early on frigid Tuesday morning?
“Because I was smoking pot,” she laughed. “That’s why I haven’t talked to the cops, too.”
