it's pretty crazy that some people still talk about the Jussie Smollet "attack" as if it actually happened

Having watched how so-called "conservative media" weaponized this whole ordeal of Jussie's, I can see now why he's preferring just to drop the whole thing and put it behind him. It's a sad commentary on the USA, both it's racist past and present intersection with homophobic bigots. Not from out strong high-quality news organizations, but still we had over 2 weeks of Twitter nonsense, until the truth was merged.

If I were busted like he's been, I'd sure want it to all go away as well.

Glad he's not backing down wrote:

#Jussie speaks to ABC again:

Statement from Smollett’s attorneys Todd S. Pugh and Victor P. Henderson via ABC:

“As a victim of a hate crime who has cooperated with the police investigation, Jussie Smollett is angered and devastated by recent reports that the perpetrators are individuals he is familiar with. He has now been further victimized by claims attributed to these alleged perpetrators that Jussie played a role in his own attack. Nothing is further from the truth and anyone claiming otherwise is lying.

“One of these purported suspects was Jussie’s personal trainer who he hired to ready him physically for a music video. It is impossible to believe that this person could have played a role in the crime against Jussie or would falsely claim Jussie’s complicity.

“Jussie and his attorneys anticipate being further updated by the Chicago Police Department on the status of the investigation and will continue to cooperate. At the present time, Jussie and his attorneys have no inclination to respond to “unnamed” sources inside of the investigation, but will continue discussions through official channels.”

Yes I stand for him. Hate crime had no place in Al Howe's time and has no place here either

Do you still believe in this attack or did you realize you got hoaxed?

Police have link to funds he transfered to these two characters to pay for the fake attack... Now he is looking at jail time.

Case broken. Now how does Smollett get out of this mess? He does have Fox standing up for him. But that's about it. He should have to pay back the city of Chicago for putting so much manpower into this.

The only hoax are those who don't believe in hate anymore

^^ Good example of Hate. (literally even)

OK, so here's where we are at now.

1) Jussie, learning (secretly) that Fox is going to write him out as a black gay guy due to being in Trump's racist bigoted homophobic USA, concots a plot with Nigerians for publicity.

Somehow, in a remarkable "coincidence", some actual white-boy M.A.G.A. attackers ACTUALLY attack him instead. The police "conveniently" can't find them on tape. Because of Jussie's previous plan, the whole theory has to go underwater.

2) But HOW, did anyone else know. The most obvious answer is: Russian hackers. They would be able to access phone conversations, and collude back to their M.A.G.A. mates in USA about what needed to go down.

Plus, this clears up the clothesline detail. Clearly if the M.A.G.A. haters had got it around his neck, they'red be nothing left to fight for. But that was the ORIGINAL rope, from the faked Nigerian attack. Jussie of course was able to successfully fight off the M.A.G.A.'ers, just like he said. So it all makes sense.

I haven't hated since I was but a boy

Jesse, you are pretty damn funny. I'm glad you decided to step outside the ultra / trans-con threads. Nice touch with the dementia line earlier (that angle's got some real potential).

Correct, those who don't believe that Caucasians, males, heterosexuals, and Christians are victims of hate and persecution encouraged by the government, media, educational system, and corporations.

The really sick thing about this, and the reason it should be treated as a serious crime, is that a false report creates a situation where someone could be arrested and put in jail for a crime that didn’t even happen. If the cops had fallen for the hoax, this dude would have watched someone go to prison knowing full well that no crime had been committed except for his own. Disgusting.

He better get jail time. He's a disgusting guy for doing this. I wonder if Kamala Harris will issue another statement now that these facts have come out......wait...all I hear is crickets now.....

It's no hoax, the progressive left hates the right so much that they've monetized the whole process. The victimhood and grievance industries are booming! But, as with Wall St, you get too ambitious (greedy) and you're likely to get caught.

Democrats (aka “funny” people) lose again!!!
