Chicago police spokesman said reports the attack was a hoax are "unconfirmed by case detectives" following multiple reports by Chicago news media.

"Media reports anout the Empire incident being a hoax are unconfirmed by case detectives. Supt Eddie Johnson has contacted @ABC7Chicago to state on the record that we have no evidence to support their reporting and their supposed CPD sources are uninformed and inaccurate," police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi tweeted Thursday night.

I’m surprised Harm (oops I meant Rahm) even cares, now that he’s on his way out as mayor.

The Hill to the rescue!

Chicago?

Reverend Wright, Jeesie Jackson, Rahm, Barack Hussein, Valerie Jarrett - guess what happens?

They have 22 Investigators now hunting down the Cops that spoke the Truth.

Poor ol' Joosy, he's pretty much pulled a boner with this stunt.
I'm glad the cops are probing deeply into his little fairy tail.
This whole sticky mess was hard to swallow from the start.

He should change his name to Williams. He’s not in Italy anymore.

Is it possible somebody on team Smollett is trying to pull a rope-a-dope on the media to try and give him more credibility?

“unconfirmed by case detectives”

that’s not actually a denial ... it could simply mean that the PR flacks didn’t speak to the “case detectives” one way or the other ...

Rahm is backing Bill Daley - The $millions pouring into Chicago are going into the Daley campaign. The whole deal is more crooked than a cork screw.

Both were Obama’s Chiefs of Staff.

Aha.

Well, it will be interesting if Bill gets anywhere. He’s pretty old, and doesn’t have much personality. Smart, though.

And Preckwinkle... meh.
