| 2019-02-19 |
| [Red State] And the Smollett epic continues. Investigators purportedly know why Empire’s Jussie Smollett faked an attack involving a noose and a mysterious chemical. Chicago’s CBS 2 reports that a racist letter addressed to Jussie was recently sent to the television program’s Illinois studio. According to the station’s source, when it didn’t make a louder noise in the press, the actor decided to create his own story: As per the CBS piece, on January 22nd, Jussie received mail featuring a drawn, hanged stick figure with a gun to his head, "MAGA" in capital letters, and ransom-note-style cut-out magazine letters spelling "You will die, black fag." The powder was later determined to be aspirin. But could Jussie have also participated in the letter sent to the show’s Chicago Cinespace Studios? More from CBS 2: |

| #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? |

| #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. |

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

| #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? |

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

| #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. |

| #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. |

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