Yep, if he didn’t mess up with the camera this would have gone another direction. So much political capital would have been involved that even if facts came out to refute his claims, there would have been a cover up. Just like with Dr. Ford...
America really did luck out that the camera was facing a different way. Jussie’s hoax could have been much more deeply implanted in the national mediastream if they’d had the hoax “attack” video to loop 24x7 before any critical info every emerged.
He must have been so frustrated when he learned that his fake attack had not been recorded on camera!
