“Hold me down,” the sergeant told dispatchers.

WTH does that mean?

This guy is about as stupid as they come.

Which leads me to wonder if somebody other than himself was the "mastermind" of this morality tale. Especially the way the rats are scattering.

Not necessarily. For fraud to be committed, there has to be someone who was taken advantage and lost money. No one was injured. No one lost money. Therefore, no fraud was technically committed.

Now, could they show that he intended to commit an act of terrorism by sending “white powder” through the mail? That is something all together different.

I hope this guy gets charged and sent to prison for something. I hope his career is ruined. Most likely he will off himself.

The CPD used lots of money investigating this fraud.

The taxpaying people of Chicago lost money................................

This is becoming more of a ‘wag the dog’ situation by the minute. Anyone want to place a bet that someone in either the media or in some level of government was involved to start this hoax?

Just enjoy it

I'll enjoy it if the dumbass Trump hater goes to jail. That I would not get tired of hearing. Otherwise it's just free publicity for this a$$hole.

According to a report yesterday, some ABC staffers didn’t believe him, even right after the interview.

Course this could be CYA reporting....................

ABC staffers doubted Jussie Smollett’s attack story:

Well, heck - I can’t even get past “hold me down” so I’m going to give up on solving this case!

Drama queen and attention whore, all in one package. Yes, I’d say this jerk has exceeded his allotted 15 minutes of fame.

I don’t know if he is stupid or if he figured everyone would believe him because.....Trump is bad. I think he was responsible for the letter and that’s why he was so upset that it didn’t get the attention it deserved.

Liberals live in echo chambers where the ends always justifies the means because.....Trump is bad. Trump must be stopped at all costs because he is the Grand Dragon of the KKK in their eyes.

I think it’s probably true for some. They could have noticed the fact that his story on GMA was different in some ways from what came out on TMZ.

IF it traces back to Kamalia Harris, she SHOULD be indicted. Where have we seen should be indicted before?
