Jussie Smollett's Phone Records Rejected by Cops, Proper Bill Requested

==========================================================

Jussie Smollett's submitted critical phone records to Chicago police, but those records have been rejected because they're not the real deal.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... what Jussie turned in 2 weeks after his alleged attack was a heavily redacted PDF file of his phone bill. Our sources say a PDF is subject to manipulation, meaning numbers can be added or deleted, although police are quick to point out there's no evidence they were in fact manipulated. The problem ... the only solid, irrefutable evidence is either the actual phone bill or a download of Jussie's phone.

As we reported, Jussie says he was on the phone with his manager at the time of the attack and the manager says he heard the racial and homophobic epithets. Chicago PD wants the phone records to authenticate a call was made. They asked Jussie for the records 2 weeks ago and received the PDF Monday.

Police say there are cameras everywhere in the area of Jussie's building, but there is still a 60-second gap in the video where you don't see the "Empire" star. So far there's no video of the attack.

Our sources say police have also retrieved security video from nearby stores to see if anybody bought rope around the time of the incident. Police are reviewing the video.

Police say Jussie remains cooperative and they are treating him as the victim of a hate crime.

As you know, Jussie says his attackers tied a rope around his neck ... police say there's video of Jussie with a rope around his neck in the lobby. They are not saying if the rope is around his neck outside the building because they say that would interfere with the investigation.

It doesn’t matter about the physical phone when it comes to verifying where he was at what time, and with whom was he speaking or texting.

ALL those data live in the network.

Now, photos and web history are another matter.

Part of me is surprised some Chicago leftist hasn’t called the Chicago cops and told them to “stand down” on pursuing this gay-black-leftist poster-child.

Then again, what politician would stick his neck out for this clown, whose claims were clearly a hoax from the beginning?

The cops are lying.

He is not cooperating or he would have turned over his phone.

This public debate about records is specious.

So what's their purpose? trying to catch Smollett perjuring himself?

Plenty of time to massage a pdf.

Yep, accidentally dropped it off a bridge.........................

I don't think that will work. Police divers will search the river bottom. If they find it, chances are they'll be able to recover the data, unless it's been physically damaged.

If it's physically damaged, they'll be able to figure out how. Tool mark analysis is quite advanced, with EDAX, NAA, and SEM technology.

If they don't find it, they'll want to know where it really is.

Back at the beginning it was rumored to be child porn, but that’s not certain...

Maybe it's a photo of him grinning broadly while drinking Budweiser with a Klansman.

He can’t legally perjure himself unless he is under oath or responding via an affadavit. So ...

Could be that.

I can only think of two reasons why he would redact his phone records: he is trying to cover up some crime of his own - such as child porn or gay prostitution - or there is something that explicitly contradicts his story. It is highly suspicious that he would withhold corroborating evidence of his story.

“Lying to the police” is a criminal offense in some jurisdictions. I don’t know about Chicago.

I think his woke got too far ahead of his victimhood, even given his intersectional multiplier. He took out an undocumented loan against his perceived future victimization to support his woke spending levels.

Prosecute this lying sack of garbage and sentence him to the maximum allowed for a hate crime, plus time for filing a false police report.

And then. MAGA hat wearers should file a class action defamation lawsuit against both this walking dumpster and his manager.

It's time we taught these crapwagons a lesson.
