Chicago cops laid out their case against "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett Thursday morning, accusing the TV star of orchestrating an elaborate hoax involving two "bogus" hate crimes -- one involving an alleged attack, and one involving a threatening letter -- all in order to get a pay raise.
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said Smollett orchestrated a "phony attack" in order to take "advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career."
Johnson said at a news conference Thursday that Smollett, 36, also sent a racist and homophobic threatening letter to himself at the Fox studio lot before the attack because he was dissatisfied with his salary.

Chicago bigwigs getting the public ready for the pain and anger of a slap on the wrist for Smollett.
“phony attack in order to take advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career.”
Took advantage of the loving and inclusive nature of white patriot Americans in order to disparage whites, President Trump and his supporters.
This is fun.
I wonder if he is ashamed. I still doubt he’ll be held accountable. He is a Trump hating liberal. So he will get a pass. Not like the Bengazi fall guy for a Youtube video.
Where are the statements from Hollywood idiots who originally decried this so called hate crime? Aren’t they going to respond as strongly condemning fake crime allegations, as they did originally to condemn hate crimes?
Ditto for various politicians who couldn’t wait to weigh in. Certainly they will be as forceful in their response to condemn fake police reports of alleged crimes.
False narrative. It had nothing to do with pushing his career, and everything to do with making Trump supporters look bad. If it was just to advance his career, he wouldn’t have thrown in the MAGA country bull. He would have simply been attacked.
It is the language of perennial and perpetual victimhood !

Sorry Chief, you are a good man, but this guy is as racist and bigoted as the pretend bigotry he projected on himself.
It is a real shame. Everyone can be a bigot.
A shame Smollett is gay, StormyD could hook up with him in any number of interesting adult movie titles, with of course the noose, and sundry Republican bobble-head dolls.
Hey, he might be faking the Gay as well.
Heard Big Media on the radio at lunch today interviewing supposedly Big Name people who were disappointed that Smuttle had done this to try to advance his career, which is now over.
Watch him do the Big Media talk show circuit “apologizing”.
Perhaps they can get Lance Armstrong or Pete Rose or the Hijab Hoax woman to interview him.
Wow. Two very bigoted people in three of those four images. One of them hates whitey with every fiber of their being, and the other one just got arrested.
Yup, so throw his a$$ in prison where he will see how big Black guys with muscles named “bubba” treat his sorry a$$.

Part of what he did is federal. Not good.
