Jussie Smollett is dumber than dirt!
Police say that Jussie Smollett paid two men $3,500 by check to stage this attack; ‘this publicity stunt was a scar that Chicago didn’t earn.’
Chicago Police Superintendent said that Smollett orchestrated a “phony attack” in order to take “advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career.”
The obvious purpose of this fake attack was to promote heated racial division and to bring into drama the participation of LGBT political interests because Smollette is admittedly gay.
Don Lemon is a hack left-wing activist and co-conspirator who helped push this hate crime hoax with the intended purpose of damaging the reputation of Trump supporters and “keeping the hate alive” in America.
In fact, there were a dozen key “journalists” who led the propaganda push for the Smollett hate crime hoax. Their names, according to Breitbart News, are:
– Eugene Scott (Washington Post)
– Don Lemon (CNN)
– Yamiche Alcindor (PBS)
– Joyce Vance (MSNBC)
– Jamil Smith (Rolling Stone)
– April Ryan (CNN)
– Jamele Hill (The Atlantic)
– Zerlina Maxwell (MSNBC)
– Joy Reid (MSNBC)
– Karen Attiah (Washington Post)
– Amy Siskind (Huffington Post)
– Brooke Baldwin (CNN)
Where are the investigations into these political activists for promoting a dangerous conspiracy that almost pushed America into a bloody race war? Remember, every one of these media hacks conducted zero fact checking and ran with the Smollett claims, touting them as established facts when they were, in fact, fabricated lies. Yet there isn’t a single one of these propagandists who has been fired, or criminally investigated for their role in this dangerous conspiracy to deceive America and foment a race war.
Why is the left-wing media allowed to continue pushing utterly fabricated hoaxes at the expense of America?

It’s time to expand the criminal investigation beyond Jussie Smollett and look at who really planned it and who catapulted it into public consciousness in a highly irresponsible, dangerous manner.
Jussie Smollett apologizes to the 'Empire' cast and crew but insists that he's innocent
Jussie Smollett apologized to the cast and crew of "Empire" on Thursday night for any embarrassment the recent allegations may have caused, but he maintained that he was innocent, a person at the meeting told CNN.
The person at the meeting said they were shocked and dismayed that Smollett stuck to his story of innocence. For the most part, the source said, Smollett paraphrased what was in the statement that his attorney put out that afternoon, blaming the legal system and the media for his woes.
After making bail, "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett leaves the Cook County Jail in Chicago on Feb. 21, 2019. Smollett faces a felony charge of filing a false report.
Shortly before 4 p.m., after a friend from California posted the necessary $10,000, a stone-faced Smollett left Cook County Jail amid a crush of reporters screaming questions. He had surrendered to authorities about 5 a.m. Thursday.
He then headed for the “Empire” studios on the West Side, where cast members and crew are trying to wrap up shooting for the final episodes of Season 5.
Jussie Smollett is back on the set of "Empire" in Chicago following his release from police custody on Thursday.

Inside Jussie Smollett's alleged plot: Chicago police say they were suspicious from the start
Jussie Smollett, who plays an R&B singer and songwriter on the show, felt he should be paid more. And that, according to Chicago police, led the actor to devise an elaborate but shaky scheme to fake racial and homophobic threats that would bring him more attention and hopefully more money.
Following is how authorities say Smollett plotted his own attack and how Chicago police unraveled it, according to police reports and court documents.
On Jan. 18, a white envelope was sent to Smollett at production studios on Chicago’s West Side. It reached the actor four days later. The letters “MAGA” were written, in red ink, in the return address section of the envelope. Inside was a threat in cut-out letters: “You will die black (expletive).” There was white powder in the envelope, but it was determined to be crushed pain reliever, according to police.
The letter was handed over to the FBI, but there was little, if any, publicity about it. This upset Smollett, so he plotted a fake attack and decided to enlist the help of two brothers he knew from the show, Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo. “Might need your help on the low. You around to meet up and talk face to face?” he texted Abimbola Osundairo, who also supplied Smollett with designer drugs.
The attack
The two arranged to meet on Jan. 25, three days after Smollett received the letter in the mail. Smollett asked Abimbola Osundairo's brother to help.
Both brothers agreed, and Smollett laid out the script for them to follow: On the evening of Jan. 28, the brothers were to approach Smollett near his apartment building in Streeterville, yell "Empire f
" and "Empire n
" and then attack him "but not hurt him too badly and give him a chance to appear to fight back."
The brothers were also instructed to place a rope around his neck, pour gasoline on him and yell, "This is MAGA country." The actor gave them $100 to buy supplies, including red caps that resembled MAGA hats.
On Jan. 27, Smollett drove the brothers by the scene near stairs at New and North Water streets. He pointed to a camera and said he wanted the staged attack to be captured by it. He also decided to switch to bleach instead of gasoline. And he told the brothers to leave their phones at home.
On Jan. 28, the brothers bought supplies and deposited a check from Smollett for $3,500. But Smollett's plane was late arriving from New York, and the attack was pushed back to around 2 a.m. the next day.
On Jan. 29, around 2:30 a.m., police were called to Smollett's apartment building in the 300 block of East North Water Street. The actor told officers he was attacked by two men while out getting food from a Subway sandwich shop around 2 a.m.
While the initial police report mentioned nothing about the race of the alleged attackers, Smollett later told detectives he thought at least one of them was "white-skinned." Both brothers are black.
The doubts
Police sources say they had suspicions about the story from the start :
Smollett asked responding officers to turn off their body cameras before their interview began.
A high-resolution camera in the lobby of the apartment building showed Smollett entering the building after the supposed attack.
ources said Smollett did not look upset and was still carrying a sandwich he had bought at a Subway sandwich shop.
A witness in the area at the time heard nothing. And Smollett's late-night sandwich run and the attack both occurred during a brutal cold snap.
Smollett made a point of telling police the attack happened in front of a police surveillance camera. But as it turned out, the camera did not point in his direction, so there was no footage of what he had just staged, as he had hoped.
That made detectives work harder to find video of the assault, and at one point more than 20 detectives were assigned to the case , many of them checking nearly every camera in Streeterville. And that, police said, caused the scheme to unravel over the next few weeks.
“The way that they carried this out, there was never a thought in their mind that we would be able to track (them) down," Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said during a Thursday news conference. "Because these detectives, they put in intense work.”
Detectives found about 35 police surveillance cameras and about 20 private cameras to track the movements of the brothers.
They had taken a ride-sharing service from their home to downtown on the night of the attack, then grabbed a cab to where the attack happened.
About half an hour after the reported attack, they got a cab at the Hyatt Regency across the Chicago River and were dropped off not far from their North Side home.
Area Central Detective Cmdr. Edward Wodnicki said people allowed detectives to view private cameras along the way.
Hours after the supposed attack, the brothers went to O’Hare International Airport and took a plane to Nigeria.
Detectives learned they bought round-trip tickets to return to Chicago on Feb. 13. As investigators waited for them to return, police executed more than 50 search warrants and subpoenas.
Working with Cook County prosecutors, detectives also combed through phone records and social media records.
By Feb. 13, a team that included the FBI, Customs agents and O’Hare cops were waiting for the brothers.
They asked for an attorney. “We took them into custody.
We read them their rights," Wodnicki said. They were brought to the Area Central detective headquarters, where their attorney, Gloria Schmidt, showed up.
It was around this time that the “investigation started to spin in a completely new direction,” Wodnicki said. Detectives found the check for $3,500 and obtained phone records showing the two brothers and Smollett talked to one another “quite a bit” before and after the attack, including when the brothers were out of the country.
During an interview on "Good Morning America," Smollett said he was positive that the two people on the video were his attackers.
“I don’t have any doubt in my mind that that’s them. Never did.” Since the two brothers were the men in the video, Smollett had just identified them as his "attackers," Wodnicki said, helping to put pressure on them.
By Feb. 15, the brothers had been in custody for about 47 hours. At the end of the day, the two men were released without charges.
Police let it be known that they were now investigating whether Smollett paid the brothers to stage the attack.
Detectives tried to schedule an appointment before the grand jury on Tuesday, but Smollett’s lawyers said they had evidence and asked to detectives to postpone any grand jury appearance. However, Smollett’s lawyers “essentially gave us no new information,” Wodnicki said. On Wednesday, the two brothers testified before the grand jury to lock in their statement under oath.
“I’m told they did an excellent job, and then the state’s attorney’s office approved charges against Jussie for the Class 4 disorderly conduct (charge),” Wodnicki said.
Police met with Smollett’s attorneys and arranged for him to surrender at 5 a.m. Thursday morning.
Thursday night, a statement from Smollett’s legal team called the allegations part of “an organized law enforcement spectacle that has no place in the American legal system.”
https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/22/entertainment/...index.html
“The presumption of innocence, a bedrock in the search for justice, was trampled upon at the expense of Mr. Smollett and notably, on the eve of a mayoral election,” the statement said. “Mr. Smollett is a young man of impeccable character and integrity who fiercely and solemnly maintains his innocence and feels betrayed by a system that apparently wants to skip due process and proceed directly to sentencing.”

Anger is building at Smollett potentially avoiding jail time for the crime given that his alleged actions could have kicked off racial violence across America. A slap on the wrist would also embolden other leftists to risk staging their own hate crimes, knowing that the punishment if caught would be minimal.
As we reported earlier, CNN is still running defense for the Empire actor with host Don Lemon asserting that the entire debacle was not Smollett’s “fault”.

The Huffington Post reports that Smollett was paid $65,000 per episode of Empire—which on average runs 18 episodes each season. That's ariybd $500,000 a year.
Tom Ahern, deputy communications director at CPD, added that Smollett was facing a class-four felony charge—punishable by as much as three years in prison—for “disorderly conduct in falsifying police report.”
At a Thursday afternoon hearing, Smollett’s passport was confiscated and his bond was set at $100,000.
Smollett’s arrest signals that the case is finally coming to a close.
