Chicago Police hint Jussie Smollett's story a hoax
American Thinker ^ | February 14, 2019 | Taylor Day

The Jussie Smollett story seems to be quietly dying, but it shouldn't. New updates by Chicago police are giving way to the claims that Smollett's story has been a hoax all along.

Police had asked to see Smollett's phone or his phone records immediately to verify his and his manager's account that they were on the phone with each other at the time of the attack. Smollett refused, saying he could not be without his phone for the length of time it would take for investigators to download his call log. Two weeks afterwards, on Tuesday, Smollett finally offered police a PDF file of his call log, which was heavily redacted. Police refused to use it as evidence, saying the computer file could easily have been edited and they need the information to come directly from the carrier instead. Jussie Smollett has still not complied with their request.

The most compelling development is the video surveillance of Smollett's steps that evening. Police have gathered and raked through hundreds of hours of footage and narrowed down that the attack supposedly happened in a 60-second time frame that happened to be off all cameras. No other persons are seen entering or leaving the same frames in that period of time. The "persons of interest" police have asked the public to help identify are seen sitting on a bench across the street at the time the assault is claimed to have happened.

Another race hoax that was promoted and publicized by yhe media is proven to be a lie.

Are there any consequences whatsoever for making up a story like this, falsely accusing people and wasting taxpayer dollars investigating.

Of course, it enhances the credibility of fake news organizations and provides ongoing evidence that they are corrupt.

My favorite part of the bullshit story is that after the “attack” - he still went to get a sub sandwich and brought it home. I wonder what he had on it?

Somebody needs to FOIA everything, make sure they don’t bury the evidence.

One would hope so, but since he’s a member of an officially recognized grievance group, I wouldn’t bet on it happening, even if he’s caught red handed here.

Okay, now we’re getting into farce.

“Jussie Smollett with the rope, tied in a Windsor knot”

He's lucky the President is declaring a national emergency. The media now has an excuse to bury the story.

They also hint that the solution to 2 + 2 is finally on the horizon.

They have clues!

The Chicago P.D. has confirmed that it has video of Jussie Smollett with the rope, tied in a Windsor knot, around his neck in the lobby of the building that he eventually called police from.

Supposedly the attackers had been stalking Smollett for some time. Planning this attack.

So, stalkers planning an attack on a celebrity, planning it so well that they knew just where to attack him so as not to be captured on video surveillance did not bother to learn how to tie a proper noose and instead tied a Windsor knot

And to top it all off a man is attacked and has a rope forcibly place around his neck, escapes his attackers after having been beaten but keeps the rope around his neck until he gets to a hotel where his friend gets him to call the police.

It begs credulity.

Regarding your tag line: I don’t care that all-caps is supposed to be akin to “shouting”. Shout all you want. However, all-caps is hard to read — much harder than mixed case, following normal grammar conventions. When you post to a site like FR, you’re publishing to a mass audience. Consider your audience — if you want people to read your remarks, don’t make it unnecessarily difficult for them to do so. Ironically, your device (all-caps) to emphasize your message, actually diminishes it.

BTW, I’m not trying to single you out here — just taking an opportunity to remind people of one of the reasons we have such grammar conventions.

And the DNC has consistently refused to produce the server the eeeevil Russians allegedly hacked to “steal” the DNC’s emails and give them to Wikileaks. My, my rather a bit of a similarity.

If this turns out to be a hoax, then they need to charge him for false statements and bill him for the cost of the investigation. If he then doesn’t pay, they sue him. I’m getting tired of these d-— N’s making false accusations and nothing being done to them.

There needs to be consequences to these hoax crimes. It is killing this nation and tearing our society apart.
