It has been two and a half weeks since Jussie Smollett reported that he was the victim of a hate crime, and in that time, his story has fallen apart completely. Recent developments in the case have suggested that the Empire actor staged his own assault with the help of two others in a desperate attempt to stay relevant as his character was possibly being written off the show.
A CBS Chicago reporter broke the news Thursday evening that the home of the two "persons of interests" in the widely circulated community alert was raided by Chicago police. In that raid, they seized a list of items including multiple containers of bleach, a "red hat," an Empire script, a Mossberg rifle, and two computers. The home is occupied by the two men, and at least one is an extra on Jussie Smollett's show, Empire. The pair left for their home country of Nigeria immediately after the "attack."
TMZ reported that these men were taken into custody at O'Hare Airport Wednesday night when they re-entered the country and were immediately brought in for questioning by police, who had been monitoring their travels.

Sources close to Chicago reporters have said the police were able to crack the case after their request for Smollett's call log was denied by the actor. They subpoenaed the phone records instead and continued to publicly treat Smollett as a victim of a hate crime. When he finally turned over a PDF file of his call log nearly two weeks later, investigators were able to examine which calls the actor omitted compared to their own official copy. His own tampering with the call log helped police narrow down which calls were important and who might have assisted in the hoax.

After Pelosi's stupidity in cancelling the SOTU, Trump regrouped, calculatedly ended the shutdown,
and came back stronger than ever...........now at 52% approval after the rescheduled SOTU.
‘As Ravi Zacharias says’
Who...?
‘what exactly do atheists and non-believers have that they can base their moral beliefs and standards on?
Nothing, actually.’
so you personally know every atheist and non-believers such that you can make pronouncements about their moral beliefs and standards...?
Great article.
“The demand for racism has far outpaced the supply, so radicals like Smollett now use homemade alternatives.”
Perhaps a rephrase:
“The demand for racism has far outpaced the supply, so SJW attention whores invent hoaxes.”

Nigerian Trump Supporters. Who'd have thunk it?
LOL!!
Leftists don’t care if the attack didn’t really happen. It only matters that it COULD have happened.
Exactly spot on. And it should be treated as incitement to the fullest extent of the law.
Undoubtedly, two hustlers he picked up.
Ummmmmm....thats a sad thing that he will be able to do that....mentally ill liar and crook....
He must mean the carrier’s records are the complete list of calls. Smollett only provided the record stored in his phone, likely after deleting the numbers he wished to hide. He did not know his records had been supoenaed as CPD was publicly treating him as a vic.SURPRISE!!!
He will be going to jail first. Tampering with evidence and obstruction of justice are very serious crimes.

Good luck wid dat
Uber does a random "review of contract" that includes a 3 page security check...needs a valid social security number to start.
They might be better off with Lyft that doesn't.
It's always, 100% of the time, a hoax.
I would recommend that you check him out. He is one the greatest philosophers in the modern world.
“Looks like Smollett’s going down.”
That is likely how this all started.
Oh, great! Another congressional candidate in the making...
so you personally know every atheist and non-believers such that you can make pronouncements about their moral beliefs and standards...?
Whoa! looks like a non-believer defender’s moral outrage button got triggered.
The point wasn’t that they have no beliefs, but that their beliefs are not judeo Christian. They live under the judeo Christian code but actually have their own individual moral code which often conflicts with the predominant judeo Christian code. The non-believer label refers only to a rejection of belief in judeo Christian God.
Example: The marxist believes the totalitarian state is supreme and there is no God. Man causes and solves his own problems. that individual can justify every attack on God and God’s believers with his own moral imperative. In that case he is “justified” in perpetrating a hoax crime to advance his own moral imperative because his end justifies the means used.
