It’s very telling that Jussie Smollett has not made any comments on his social media in which he was previously very active.

With all the outpouring of support he is getting you would think he would at least put out a quick tweet thanking everyone, telling them he is okay, and that the police are looking for the culprits.

He has gotten into defense mode, staying mum, refusing to give police any phone evidence that would corroborate or contradict his story. That is odd behavior for someone who is a victim and presumably wants these evil Trump supporters caught and punished

So you would have Trump going along with this?

What about the Covington boys lie? Would you have been OK with Trump denouncing these boys at the start like all the other losers?

I’m glad Trump was smart enough to stay away from that pack of lies. And this story here in Chicago? Even more ludicrous and outrageous. Yet it must be true. Trump called the attack “horrible”. Not the ridiculousness and unbelievable stupidity of such a thing happening, but the fact of the “attack”.

“Smollett has declined to hand over his cell phone to detectives, police added.”

While I think Smollett is probably a lying sack of shit I can understand there may be many valid reasons for him to not want to hand over his phone. Smartphones have a person's entire life on them and you should t have to drop the kimono and stand naked for police scrutiny in order to get help. Trust me, the police can find out who he was talking to and for how long without ever touching this man's phone. Cell tower records can be used to triangulate where he was at as well as long as his phone was on.

“Either that or Trump is gullible and has swallowed the load“

How would you describe someone who allows for the either/or possibility of President Trump being gullible? Someone who conjectures that President swallowed a load?

I’d call that person a fool. Someone with little value as a patriot.

He is a (minor) celebrity. They probably have lots of pressure to solve it, or they may know it is all a lie and need to wrap it up ASAP.

“Twelve detectives working a small-time assault case in a city where 83% of homicides go unsolved.”

Remember how in 1999 when JFK Jr.’s plane went down and Bill Clinton mobilized all of the Coast Guard and Navy assets in the area to find him?

Think about this. When Barney was a congress critter, he was the worst, most despicable pervert out there.

Nowadays, he wouldn’t even rank in the top ten. With Ocasio Cortez, Tlaib, the entire CBC, and other assorted muzzies, queers and pervs, Barney would be rather normal.

Most would turn over a copy of the phone recording though.

Not finger prints but DNA, sure.

Two points to ponder: WHEN this is exposed as a publicity hoax, the enemy euphemistically called the media will say nothing more with no retraction; if challenged on this race baiting crap, they will resort to ‘fake but accurate’.

Yep, the drive by media.
