Jussie Smollett Case: Clues Into Potential Motive Behind The Attack (new info)
CBS2 chicago ^ | 2-18-19 | Charlie De Mar, Brad Edwards, Suzanne LeMignot

“Empire” actor Jussie Smollett, upset after a racist letter sent to the show’s studio didn’t get a “bigger reaction,” is suspected of paying two men to attack him a week later, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the investigation.

“When the letter didn’t get enough attention, he concocted the staged attack,” a source told CBS 2 Investigator Brad Edwards. Other sources corroborated that information.

He’s Black. Leftist. Homosexual.

Nothing will happen to him, he’ll probably start co-hosting “The View” with the harpies.

He’s going to need to find another line of work outside the entertainment industry. He just became radioactive.

The note was crafted with letters apparently cut out from magazines to form words. The pieced-together message contained racial and homophobic threats directed at Smollett. A magazine is one of the pieces of evidence retrieved from the brother’s home last week during a search conducted by CPD. Investigators also recovered a book of stamps.”

So the letter was a hoax too?

He actually tried to pin it on actual white guys at first, but they had an alibi. That's why this isn't a victim-less crime. The victims are all white people, because anyone could have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, and Smollett would have burned them at the stake. He was clearly ready to say any white guys the police came up with, were the ones who attacked him.

THIS LYING BASS-TURD NEEDS TO BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAWS STATE AND FEDERAL....................

While I certainly agree with that, don’t forget, he has two levels of protection, so I am not confident that he will ever face the music.

Is that the letter? I don’t really know, and the truth is, that may well be it, that’s how stupid everything has gotten. So it wouldn’t surprise me.

Well, they did scam Jussie out of $3500. All he got for his money was a piece of clothesline and a scratch.

So what's worse?

A white person putting on black face that perpetuates a stereotype about black people, or a black person setting up a hoax that perpetuates a stereotype about white people?

Ain’t gonna give him any protected-class BS this time. It’s national and well documented.

FOX should fire him and he should be raised as an example every time one of these hoaxers get another idea to try the same.

His name should become a VERB.....................

ohhhhhhh... so he had a good reason.

I guess it’s OK then for all the media to go on a week long hate-fest for Trump supporters over YOUR LIE

"Is that the letter?"

It is the letter that's been posted in the very few articles I've read.

“Which were mailed from a SW Chicago Post Office......................HMMMMMMMMMM?...............”

Big trouble on the horizon or rather bigger trouble. This hoax went back earlier and may have tentacles beyond attention whoring.

Paging Mistress Kamala on the Fake News phone. Paging Mistress Kamala.

Don’t know, but if she is found to be complicit, her political career is over.

Good thing she has other experience to ‘fall back on’....................
