Is “Empire” star Jussie Smollett about to be charged with lying about alleged ‘MAGA’ attackers?
The National Sentinel ^ | 2/6/19 | J. D. Heyes

Posted on 02/06/2019 3:49:28 PM PST by SleeperCatcher

In the days since “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett claimed he was physically assaulted as he ventured out in sub-zero temperatures around 2 a.m. in Chicago to get a Subway sandwich, there have been elements of his story that have either been questionable or have not added up.

Smollett, 35, one of the actors on the Fox television hit, told police the morning after the alleged attack that he was set upon by two people who yelled racial and homophobic slurs during the assault and wrapped a rope around his neck while dousing him in bleach.

As The New York Times reported, Chicago PD said they were investigating the alleged assault as a “possible hate crime.”

Oh, and further, the closure rate on their astronomical murder count is terrible. So you might just be right.

I thought those guys has clearance rates, but I’m not seeing them at first glance.

Would it be correct to call this a false flag hoax?

Are the hoaxers ever prosecuted and convicted?

Unless his underage Grindr date checks off even more boxes. Then he can ride the Mark Foley bus (might even have to sit in the back).

The cops don't want his phone only to see if he was on the phone during the imaginary attack.

The thing never made sense from the beginning. I know that area well. It's just off Michigan Ave. on the Magnificent Mile. It's full of luxury hotels and condos and high end shops. There are Starbucks, Subways, etc. to serve the residents.

The idea that a couple of rednecks with a noose would be cruising that neighborhood at 2:00 am looking for some black guy to attack on one of the coldest nights of the year just does not pass the smell test.

I was a LEO at the city/parish/state/federal levels for well over 2 decades & I said from when I first heard the dubious claims by Smollet.

He, imo, MUST be prosecuted at least for making a false official report to the police AND fined enough to repay all the taxpayers funds that were expended upon his behalf. = MANY thousands of dollars, so that he & other FALSE SWEARERS will be deterred from doing this anymore.

That is because it never happened

The story makes ZERO sense

The cops already looked at all the cameras in the area and can’t find the attack, nor the alleged attackers anywhere on any of the footage

Its BS

It sounds like “made for TV” script, and I can assume that is how actors think. that is why it sounds so fake to us, because nobody would do what he describes. Why would anybody at 2 AM be looking for this gut out on the streets of Chicago? That doesn’t make sense. That is ‘Hollywood’ logic, they actually think we all know who they are because they are on some sort of TV show that a large majority of Americans NEVER watch and probably the ones who do, 95% of them probably couldn’t identify this guy anyways.

Pure BS

Not all. He is still ranked below transgenders, Muslims, and illegal aliens.

I sure hope so, and that person that claimed he was a witness can join him in court, as they defend their actions.

If I thought he had been accosted, I would defend him. It’s looking more and more like he wasn’t.

I note they are trying to act as if they don’t think he lied, but > IMO < I think they’re sure he did.

you need to look at second city cop to see what is occurring in Chicago
they have a States attorney that will not charge certain crimes, or downgrades felonies to misdemeanors-

I bet the cops are dying to bust him but the prosecutors will tell them to stick it.

Ahhh. The Troubadour. When I use to play there we would wait outside with our fans to throw things at the connected that would have their gay ass showcases for the suits from 6:30 to 8:30.

So I’m supposed to believe that a bottomfeeding celebrity, “ventures out” at two in the morning, IN CHICAGO, in subzero temperatures to go get a sub? ROTFL.
