The media is controlling even our narrative. This guy is a nobody.

The Clintons still walk free.

Chicago police say they will be requesting more phone records from "Empire" star Jussie Smollett

WTH is this "requesting" BS? They should tell him to produce the unredacted, full transcript or they will charge him with falsifying a report and obstruction.

The only two reasons his phone was so heavily redacted could be a) he’s making up the crime and the phone proves it or b) he’s into something else illegal (think child porn).

Maybe both!

Half the people are gay and the other half are black.

Interesting breakdown.

Half the people are gay. The other half is black.

So, within the black side, there are no gays? And the gay half are all white?

There must be a third half, to account for the rest of the LGBTQ community.

Accusations by liberals that someone violated them by committing a “hate” crime are generally a version of drama queen virtue signaling. I no longer read them. The whole concept of a “hate” crime encourages this abuse. An action is either a crime or it is not. Period. Calling it a “hate” crime requires knowing what was going on inside the perpetrators head. Ridiculous.

There is an infinity of reasons to avoid handing over the phone.

He could be protecting a bi-sexual lover who does not want his wife to know of the affair.

There could be many other posibilities. He might want to cover up a donation to President Trump, for example.

Maybe he used the word "Indian" when it was not politically correct.

The preponderance of the evidence agrees with your interpretation.

The police could get his phone records directly from the phone company. They only requested them from him to see how he'd respond. His response makes him appear like he is hiding something ... which is what the police suspected.

There's a 3rd possibility for why he redacted the phone records. The assault may have been a gay lovers quarrel, and he's trying to hide the identity of his attacker.

They have enough evidence to charge him w filing a false report.

Charge him and then you can compel the complete phone records.

I’ve have had to get subpoenas for phone records.

You do not need HIS billing statement. You get the actual records/call log, via a subpoena to his service provider ......... I say again

Now, if they want to his text messages and voicemails, they need his phone and consent to search or a warrant.

He’s making CPD look like fools and its leadership is allowing it to happen because he’s black, liberal and gay. And he’s trying to knock down the President. They, being city leadership, is allowing this to happen. I’d be willing to bet that the detectives working the case would love to take out a warrant on the guy and put him in Cook County Jail, but that ain’t gonna happen. They already know he’s lying. They’re doing their level best to change the narrative. But, nothing will happen to the guy and they’ll come up with something lame like, there isn’t conclusive evidence one way or the other, until more information becomes available the case is suspended. Of course, that is going to be after a phone call is made to his attorney advising that they know he’s lying but he should keep his mouth shut and never utter another word.

They should look at Home Depot security cameras and see if they can spot him buying the rope.

Very true.

And trying to find an incidence of a member of a minority group committing a hate crime is like trying to find the White Buffalo.

Did this “nobody” ever really have a story? This sounds like the broken excuses of a sixth-grader schoolboy hauled before the principal, after he has used a rubber band to snap one of his classmates in the rump during study hall.

It is only funny for a few seconds.

What gets me is not so much the lie, but the fact that these guys thought that this was an actual airtight story that would pass the smell test.

Redacted phone records. Who does he think he is, the FBI?

I think that statement was a rhetorical device. It does not have to be analysed mathematically.

This is just more leftist street threatre to advance their narrative. Very reminiscent of the Tawana Brawley and Duke lacrosse farce. And why not? Made Al Sharpton a fortune and the clowns at Duke who propagated the nonsense are still in charge with higher salaries.

Many Americans are waking up to the possibility that Jussie Smollett's story may be a hoax.

And many, such as myself, are waking up to the very definite possibility that they simply don't give a rat's patootie as to what machinations a simpering swish of a would-be faggot actor engaged in with the intent of furthering his faltering "career".

Put this POS in the jail, then go out and expend a fourth of all this "investigative" effort into the Clinton Crime Family.

But then, that doesn't fit your narrative, does it, Fake News!

They probably already have the phone records related to the incident. They wanted to see what they would get from him, which on the surface appears to be deceptive.
