Jussie Smollett Lawyer Claims Even if He Did Lie, It’s the Police’s Fault for Taking It So Seriously

It doesn’t seem possible, but the Jussie Smollett case just got more infuriating.
As if it wasn’t enough that the “Empire” star was charged with staging a fake anti-gay attack back in January and insulting the character of millions of President Donald Trump’s supporters, Smollett’s attorneys are now insulting the country’s intelligence.
In a court motion reported by the Chicago Sun-Times on Wednesday, Smollett’s lawyers are claiming that even if the actor was behind a faked attack, it wasn’t his fault that the Chicago Police Department decided to investigate the case so thoroughly.
Seriously.
Didn’t preview my post, oops!
