Sources: Police Suspect Jussie Smollet Staged The Attack With His Friends Because His Character Was Being Written Off His Show "Empire"


UPDATE: And that, as they say, is that.




Update: Caution flag: Chicago detectives are not confirming media reports that this is a hoax and claim their sources are "inaccurate."

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.



Update: Smollet says he answered "routine" police questions today, rebutting the claim he was a no-show at a police interview.

Fox and Fox Television say Smollet wasn't being written out of the show.

But...: "TOP SOURCE: “We [investigators] believe the non-cooperating 2 witnesses are co-conspirators in a potentially staged attack” vs. Jussie Smollett. ⁦@cbschicago⁩"

2 Jussie previously said:"It's the attackers, but also the attacks," he said, adding of those who don't believe his story, "It's not necessarily that you don't believe that this is the truth, you don't even want to see the truth."

Fucking liar.

10 I'm pretty sure the CPD sat on their warrants and only raided the suspects apartments after Jussie's Good Morning America interview was done, in the can, and being promoted multiple times every hour on ABC.

The Big Red Machine publicly backed Smollett. Pelosi and Schumer both chimed in.

After the Covington thing, they don't need this egg on their faces any longer than necessary, with an ugly trial and so on.

Plus, he's now a high-profile #Resister, and an arrest could discourage some of the #Resistance types.

I think this story dies a quick death, starting tomorrow.

I've previously told the story of the jailbird husband of a female housemate when I was in grad school. Einstein burgled a place, then called the victim and offered to sell him his own stuff back. He was surprised to find the cops waiting for him.

After doing some AP coursework at San Quentin, he got out, and did the exact same thing again, not having figured out the small but noticeable flaw in his cunning plan.

His wife told the story. (Of course, she wasn't one whit brighter.) It was all we grad students could do to keep a straight face.

226 Someone above mentioned Entertainment Tonight.

I gave up on those shows a long time ago, when I realized they're 100% straight-up Hollywood propaganda. They've been screaming about the story of how poor poor Jussie was victimized, but as soon as it comes out it's a hoax? Poof, they'll make the story disappear. True of almost all Hollywood "news" magazines and blogs really.

The ONE reason I really enjoyed TMZ (before it started getting really political re Trump) is because they wouldn't suck up to celebs, would actually report when they do stupid things, and sometimes would even *confront* them on their fcukups.

Since the story was so transparently phony THEY should be sued for creating a hostile environment for people who like to wear red caps.

Hmm, I don't know how lawfare even works, *could* a class action lawsuit be brought against NBC et al on behalf of all the Trump supporters who feel scared to reveal their support?

I *so* want that fight scene to show up in a movie. Dodging bleach drops like Neo dodging bullets. Is it goof-ball so he's juggling his phone and sandwich while using his feet to fend off the attack? Or does he keep talking on his phone while using the sandwich strategically to block blows (and it's so well wrapped the Subway guy gets a mention in the credits)? Either way, as soon as it's over and the attackers flee he would just nonchalantly walk into his building say "Evening, Joe" to the security guy, who's reading a paper (playing on his phone now-a-days) and so doesn't notice the "noose" peeping out from the collar of his coat.

384 Jussie's story fell apart for me on day one. The photos of his "injuries".

Here's a quick tale for ya'll.

30 years ago there was an altercation at my house. A young woman was drunk/high and decided she was going to walk to her father's home, 5 miles away in sub zero temp. The other 3 adults at the home disagreed with her choice and a physical fight ensued. (Baby was in crib, not involved in fight)

My husband managed to finally subdue the crazy lady who said "I'm calling the cops." We all said "please do". Hubby disappeared for 1 minute into the bathroom and when he returned, he had raked his own face. I looked at him and knew what he had done. When the cops came, they took a look at my hubby and handled getting her a cab and we never heard a peep.

Jussie needed to beat himself up a bit more to make the story believable.

That's a nothingburger for the vast majority of tax filers. Even in blue states. Why? Because the standard deduction is now $24K for married couples. And all tax brackets are lower. And the child tax credit used to phase out at $150K. Now it is $2K instead of $1K and doesn't phase out until $400K.

Most shouldn't... you get enough of an extra standard deduction that 2 exemptions are a wash (4 for married people filing jointly). If you have more dependents than that, you are probably good anyway because the child tax credit went up to $2000... that $2000 is taken off of taxes owed whereas the exemptions only came off your taxable income (this makes the credit mach more valuable than the exemption was). They also added a $500 tax credit for people you support who are not under the age of 16. So if you have parents or older teens (or early 20's) living with you, that is $500 per that you were not getting under the old code.

566 Re: border deal

A lot of people have their hair on fire over parts of this Bill, but I think the bad parts won't turn out nearly severe in the long term. For example, The deportation shield rules is really bad, but it does exempt actual criminals from protection and I believe those are the lion share of people getting kicked out. And it's not like reversing some of the damage in future budgets is impossible. We just have to hammer the issue, fixing the Flores decision the most important, IMO.

Not always. Depends on each individual's income. If both make about the same, they will pay about the same whether filing single or married.

633 Serious cat there's every reason to have hair on fire (for those still with most of their hair). Maybe not if this were 2002, or something.


But today's context is what matters. The child trafficking kerosene - at a minimum - will stoke *that* fire, which is already raging out of control. And neither the letter of the bill language nor especially the history of judicial vandalism on enforcement powers give any reason to think that provision will not, in fact, be massively exploited by serious criminals.


And the reduction in detention capacity, and the failure to increase manpower levels, and the restrictions on barrier work (geographic and otherwise). And the absence of anything on increasing immigration judges, or any of the policy disasters (not just the one you mention) - in fact their absence *even from the administration requests* - it's all back-sliding, in the midst of a real crisis.


Also the impact on perceptions. On the hill (Dems and GOP have just pushed the envelope even further on opposing any sanity in immigration rule of law, and if they get away with it .... you do the math). Fake asylum market (as mentioned) should be turbo-charged by failure to do anything about it, and inclusion of the easily abused "sponsor" idiocy.


The illegal migration "market" is exquisitely sensitive to not just action, but body language, on the part of the USG. No way the bad parts of this bill are not seen (correctly) as yet another green light (following many in the past 15 years).

I don't even have to read the bill. I know that if they love it and pass it, it has to be even worse than I think it is.

Because they would NEVER pass anything that we would like or be good for our country. NEVER.

Of course it would be more entertaining in a politics-as-sports way if the Senate GOP actually over-rode a Trump veto of this.


There's already a hopeless chasm between governed and both parties, Trump notwithstanding - at least on certain issues. But Senate over-riding Trump veto of this disaster would simply have to shatter the GOP, at the least.

Approach discussed by ace and many others earlier today remains sound - demand clean CR to avoid "shut-down", and then campaign to demonize/oppose the many, many outrageous provisions of existing bill - then veto.

It's an actual thing for statistical purposes. In more recent censuses, they've been trying to sub-divide large rural counties into smaller regions for greater specificity, and in the past, census areas were originally used to better map dense urban areas.

738 Richard Windsor, from here and there - and the bill language itself, mostly.


I have only a fraction of it, but it's so important to have context info and background on stuff like this - legislative language sometimes barely conveys the "so what" of legislation.


Several online people follow it all closely and have more informed perspectives. They all have their limitations, so I use them mostly as tip and fact aggregators.

On the twatters:


Daniel Horowitz (expert, a bit jumpy)
Jessica Vaughan (Ctr Imm. Studies)
Mickey Kaus

Speaking of which, Kaus just had a good one:

"Hannity doing a good job of chloroforming his audience with unlistenable Maddowesque Russia/FBI monologue before he gets to the urgent events that are actually happening today ..."

(ha! sounds about right)

744 @735: "Nigerian 419 spam mail always has stilted bizarre English."

And what's worse is that the strange grammar and numerous typos are features, not bugs, as Nigerians discovered that people who responded to the weirder emails were more likely to be scammed.

747 Many others besides those few I mentioned. Also the studies and reports from ICE, BP, DHS, and a few of the better non-govt. outfits.


The most notorious provision (224a), for example.


Looks bad enough just as it is (essentially an amnesty for any illegals here if they can hook up with an unaccompanied minor - it's f***ing insane). But in the real world, this sort of fencing of ICE enforcement usually leads to *further* restriction - i.e. "protection" of illegals - via court rulings.


The more you know about how things actually work, the worse this outrage looks/is.

Oh, read through one sometime. It's poetry. It's fun figuring out what they're actually trying to say.

I got one of those extortion spams the other day that said something like "I observe you unbrace!".

...the fuck?

Then the light bulb went on and I figured out it meant "I recorded compromising video of you through your webcam (so you need to send elebenty billion of buttcoin to this wallet etc etc)". Unbrace, like braces, like suspenders. Very clever, you adorable little spammer.

Dramatic Conclusion.

The letter will be made of cut out letters from magazines, right?

"Wach out n**er, we'uns are aftur u! Regardz, MAGA Men"

757 Yes, I'm sure they've war-gamed all this. What I mean about the census area is that it is not an accident, They have entities in mind who will gum up the works.

I hope there is not languge about redirecting funds. I did read it somewhere, tho.

Thing is, the Wall is just a small part of the problem anyway. The laws are much worse.

The bottom line is that Democrats and Uni-Party have decided to dissolve America, her borders and citizenship. They deny it but they're lying of course. They hope to do it like the frog in the pot of water--by the time he realizes its boiling, its too late.

It's not a National Emergency--it is The Emergency of the Nation-State. America is up for grabs, and President Trump is the only who has put up a real fight since Reagan. I hope he vetoes this piece of shit and draws out the enemy. He may have cut a deal with Mitch: signature for Emergency. We'll see.
