“In my opinion Smollett and his friend came up with this plan on the fly”
“Not to mention I doubt that they would consider the reward worth the risk.”
I would not disagree with that. Except to say that someone along the way assured Smollett that he would get away with it. As appears to be the case so far.
I would not doubt that someone told Smollett that he would get away with it. It has been my experience that Leftist seem to believe that the police as a general rule are stupid.
It is also my experience that people smoking dope have an inflated opinion of how smart they are. Also true of Leftist in general.
