#2 I said it was going to be called 'fake, but accurate' when the attack was first reported.

#3 And we know that Jussie didn't write the letter himself how?

Typical grand child behavior is to try something to gain attention, if that fails push the same button harder (louder) more obnoxiously until it does work.

#4 There was some talk and a few links on Instapundit yesterday pointing out some peculiar coincidences with the timing of Jussie's hoaxed attack and Kamala 'Knee Pads' Harris lynching bill in the Senate.

It seems that Jussie has campaigned with Kamala. There are definitely ties between the two. It was suggested that Jussie didn't plan the hoax all by his little lonesome.

#5 The letter is what the industry calls a story board.

#6 some peculiar coincidences with the timing of Jussie's hoaxed attack and Kamala 'Knee Pads' Harris lynching bill in the Senate.

The timing *is* curious. Never mind KneePads and Spartacus using the same modern day lynching phrase in their tweets.

I gotta ask: do we really need an anti-lynching bill? When was the last time anyone was lynched in the USA? Doesn't lynching fall under existing statutes for murder, assault or aggravated littering?

#7 Not to mention some lynching would be called 'hate crimes'.

#8 When the letter didn’t get enough attention, he concocted the staged attack

With all the other bullcrap going on in the world, I didn't think the attack was particularly newsworthy either. I mean, how many muggings happen every day in Chicago? Just like the Covington kids, if journalists in this country had the slightest bit of integrity left in them, they would have paid no attention when some crazy old Indian claimed he was harassed by a high school boy. But then, just like the Covington kids, it was a chance for the Lame Stream Media to blame a hate crime on Trump. There's your motive and that's why Smollett's story reeked of old fish from the get go. But even now, after the truth has been revealed, you can bet that the same snowflakes who bit on this bait will bite again whenever the same kind of bait is dangled in front of them. And the best way to discourage it would be to sentence Smollett to some serious jail time for filing a false report to the police.

#9 I wonder If Smollett has Harris's phone number and talked to her...

That may be why handing over the phone was a problem...

Would it sink her presidential ambitions?
