Check this out....

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. https://t.co/iSO5YFv452

They were Nigerians? I read that the “persons of interest” had been apprehended at the airport, but the article didn’t mention their destination...

This is interesting for two reasons: (1) the sources are the local ABC and CBS affiliates, not conservative sites; and (2) the witnesses are described as “non-cooperating,” which suggests that the police have some physical evidence - not just their own claims - which ties them to the incident.

It would be against the instincts of ABC and CBS to go with the hoax story, so I wonder why they trusted their sources?

Freeper servo1969 had a very clever insight about that:

************

“Local crime reporters in Chicago claim the Chicago police were slow-playing the case to see if Jussie Smollett was telling the truth.

CWB previously reported that police already had Jussie Smollett’s complete phone records from the a tower data dump given by the phone provider.

When Smollett gave police “limited and redacted” phone records he downloaded on a PDF, all police had to do was look at the phone numbers he deleted — in other words, Jussie Smollett did the detective work for the investigators. “

Another in the long rich tradition of racist hoaxes against innocent or non-existent white "perps" ... for example ....

Tawana Brawley hoax case

Duke Lacrosse hoax case

If they were Nigerians then we all need to check our e-mail to see if they are asking for us to send them $2000, and then we all collect $2,000,000. Whoopie! I’m a millionaire!

And because he is a doubly protected class, he will not be charged or have to pay restitution for all the money spent investigating this host.
