The cop spokesman knows its all bullshit, but he also knows they can’t prove a negative, excepting Smollett or his agent directly admitting to creating a fraud — which will not happen.

Actually, you can prove a negative if LE has visual or forensics evidence.
If they get the phone records, they can show whether or not he was on the phone was his agent or whoever he said he was talking to during the alleged incident.
