Chicago cops laid out their case against "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett Thursday morning, accusing the TV star of orchestrating an elaborate hoax involving two "bogus" hate crimes -- one involving an alleged attack, and one involving a threatening letter -- all in order to get a pay raise.

Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said Smollett orchestrated a "phony attack" in order to take "advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career."

Johnson said at a news conference Thursday that Smollett, 36, also sent a racist and homophobic threatening letter to himself at the Fox studio lot before the attack because he was dissatisfied with his salary.

I doubt he’s ashamed based on his reactions of being put off by the revelation of what he did.

What a pathetic press conference that was. The police chief checked every victim’s box in that one, EXCEPT the actual victims - every white person in America, and every Trump voter.

He also made sure to repeat the party line several times - that this was NOT politically motivated, but financial.

Notice Rahm Emanuel right behind him making sure he doesn’t mention the obvious political motivation between Jussie and Heels-Up Harris/Kooky Booker to get their lynch-bill passed and springboard their Presidential campaigns. They both had a boilerplate response immediately that this was a “modern day lynching.”
