Jussie Smollett Cops Reject Phone Records ... Please Submit Again

Jussie Smollett's Phone Records Rejected by Cops, Proper Bill Requested

==========================================================

Jussie Smollett's submitted critical phone records to Chicago police, but those records have been rejected because they're not the real deal.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... what Jussie turned in 2 weeks after his alleged attack was a heavily redacted PDF file of his phone bill. Our sources say a PDF is subject to manipulation, meaning numbers can be added or deleted, although police are quick to point out there's no evidence they were in fact manipulated. The problem ... the only solid, irrefutable evidence is either the actual phone bill or a download of Jussie's phone.

As we reported, Jussie says he was on the phone with his manager at the time of the attack and the manager says he heard the racial and homophobic epithets. Chicago PD wants the phone records to authenticate a call was made. They asked Jussie for the records 2 weeks ago and received the PDF Monday.

Police say there are cameras everywhere in the area of Jussie's building, but there is still a 60-second gap in the video where you don't see the "Empire" star. So far there's no video of the attack.

Our sources say police have also retrieved security video from nearby stores to see if anybody bought rope around the time of the incident. Police are reviewing the video.

Police say Jussie remains cooperative and they are treating him as the victim of a hate crime.

As you know, Jussie says his attackers tied a rope around his neck ... police say there's video of Jussie with a rope around his neck in the lobby. They are not saying if the rope is around his neck outside the building because they say that would interfere with the investigation.

At least they have images of perps on video. I think they are likely the (now very elderly) norwegians in the background of this image.

He either was or wasn’t on the phone with his manager-—either way , he claims the attack with its attendant verbal slurs including the ridiculous dead-giveaway “THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY!!”-—(really, in my hometown Chicago, way more Lib now than it was when I lived there, up until ‘82?) My guess is that he had a couple of friends stage an attack, thrown something on him, put a noose around his neck, all timed so that whoever he was on the phone with would definitely hear all the insults and fabricated sounds of the scuffle....once upon a time, there may have been an attack or two like this, that fits this template, but I am beginning to think EVERY SINGLE ONE of them is a staged hoax. NOBODY ever really gets called on it, but the initial uncritical reportage from the MSM is the only story they need-—if there’s any follow-up to reveal the hoaxiness of the story, it’s on page 36, and nobody talks about it on TV, except FOX ..I think Jussie SMollett is up shit creek without a paddle, but the timeline of thisso far tells me that the whole story will die on the vine, with the cops honestly admitting they couldn’t find any kind of proof or corroboration of his claims. Then of course the Chicago cops will in the fudge-brained minds of some Smollett stalwarts look like they are co-conspirators with the attackers.

When do they give up on “investigating” this hoax? I’m sure 0bama, Holder, and Rham are putting pressure on them to pull a Mueller by investigating this obvious hoax at the expense of the taxpayer. Then they can have the media drop it down the memory hole, and this POS get a free pass to pull off another hoax whenever he feels like it.

There was a crime. It is filing a false police report. If proven, he should be prosecuted.

[ A search warrant provided to the carrier will provide the call history. ]

Yes. Should have been done immediately.

They can also review which cell towers were tracking his phone. Which would provide triangulation, or does so in many cases.

Excellent post.

I look forward to Jussie Smollett perp-walked on TV, in an orange jumpsuit.

I’ll come close to fainting if it actually happens. Here’s hoping.

Remember, it was a PDF “copy” of his “Birth Certificate” that Hussein Obama “provided” to us. And it had 8 or 9 different layers (successive document changes and saves) in it!

The cops could get the phone records IF they really wanted them.

Absolutely.

They do it all the time.

Hopefully they already have them and are just allowing him to box himself in.

Doesn’t matter If he did destroy the phone, the cellular carrier has all of the records.

According to the blog world, the cops are a bit torqued-off because of the amount of manpower being devoted to this obvious non-story. They’re like, “Fine, we’ll shut up and color. This story is crap, so we’ll run that to the ground.” The best way to make the mayor look like crap is to follow his instructions to the letter.

“MAGA country”, that’s where this idiot really screwed up. It’s like calling south central LA cowboy country.

According to my brother the cop, the investigator should have already subpoenaed his phone records from his provider. He says it’s pretty much standard procedure when there is a question.

The cops already know he’s guilty of false-reporting. I agree with you but I’m betting that they’ll just let it go, which is too bad, this story has more problems Tawana Brawley’s.

Hopefully Twitchy has this to confirm that it is indeed real.

It’s certainly about what I would expect.

Exactly, it doesn’t matter if his phone was thrown into an active volcano.
