PR firm: ‘Every iota’ of Smollett claim true; police differ
The Chicago Sun-Times ^ | August 29, 2019 | Associated Press

Posted on 08/29/2019 9:36:32 AM PDT by PBRCat

Jussie Smollett’s PR team says “every iota” of his account of being the victim of a racist, anti-gay attack in Chicago is supported by police evidence despite police repeatedly saying it was all staged.

A statement emailed Wednesday follows a city filing Monday defending its lawsuit seeking to recoup costs of investigating what it says was a January publicity stunt.

The statement says “every iota of information … Smollett has stated has been fully corroborated.”

The statement didn’t say what evidence allegedly backs Smollett’s claim that masked men hurling racist and homophobic insults beat him and looped a noose around his neck.

The city says GPS data, video and other evidence prove Smollett paid the men to fake a hate crime.

State prosecutors abruptly dropped charges against Smollett in March. A special prosecutor is investigating that decision. Next Up In News

You have to give the guy some credit. What is this, quintupling down on a lie in the face of overwhelming concrete evidence otherwise?

These insane libs are a legend in their own minds....LMAO.
The sorry SOB got off on 16 felony counts.
IF he had one iota of a brain cell, he’d keep his, along with is filthy ilk’s, mouths shut. The POS should be in prison. IF it were one of us that pulled this BS, that’s exactly where we’d be.

Liberal lawyers/politicians and liberal Follywooders are not able to tell the truth.

Jussie Smollett’s PR team says whatever Smollett pays them to say. After all, his money is as green as anyone else’s.

I suppose this is a hallmark of modern life, that no matter how strong the evidence against you, there's still a sense that you can brazen it out and insist that the opposite is true.

I recall those old Perry Mason episodes, where the real perp would confess in court the moment Mason confronted him with the irrefutable proof. Those days, I fear, are long since gone.

Max: “Every iota of information … Smollett has stated has been fully corroborated.”

Chief: "I don't believe it."

Max: "Would you believe 'every smidgen" of information?'"

So buddies of his are seen on a Home Depot security video buying the very string (can't really call it a "rope") that the cops saw around his neck.

Did Jessie hire Harvey Weinstein's PR firm?

"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Iota (/aɪˈoʊtə/; uppercase Ι, lowercase ι; Greek: ιώτα) is the ninth letter of the Greek alphabet...."

OK, every ninth letter of the Greek alphabet in schmuckett's testimony is true.

At this point, he actually really needs to get his a** kicked, not for being gay (who cares), but for being a self-centered spoiled brat.

Interesting factoid. The very first PR firm was hired by Rockefeller to defuse the fallout from The Ludlow Massacre.
