It's "cui bono?" in Latin. Francophones ask, "à qui profite le crime?" Whatever your linguistic leanings, the point is the same. If you're trying to figure out who committed a crime, figure out who benefits from it.
Let's apply the principle to the racially-charged Senate run-off race in Mississippi, in which the African-American Dem, Mike Espy, faces Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith. One day before today's election, two nooses are found at the state capitol.
So . . . who benefits? CNN's Joe Johns supplied the answer on this morning's New Day:
"The President defending Hyde-Smith, and directly attacking her challenger, the Democrat Mike Espy . . . The remarks coming hours after a pair of nooses were found at the Mississippi state capitol. Espy supporters hoping to turn anger into turnout."

Dear Mississippi Black Voters:
The Democrat Party thinks you’re STOOOOOOOPID.
Hell - if she said she wanted to hang up a string of Christmas lights, they would say that’s code for lynching them lowlife Negroes...
“Many Mississippians scratched their heads. It seemed no one had ever heard the alleged colloquialism, “If he invited me to a public hanging, I’d be on the front row.” The New York Times, though, interviewed a southern linguist who said the expression was used in the late 1800s and early 1900s—when lynchings were most common—but had mostly died out by 1950. Hyde-Smith was born in 1959.
Shows, however, said he recalled hearing the expression growing up.”

I’m about Hyde-Smith’s age. Did NOT grow up in the South. And I heard the expression used. Of course, plenty of northerners were/are racists, but I don’t recall hearing it in a context involving blacks.
As the president says: “CNN is fake noose!”
Jim did it
False flag.
LOL: good one!
