Nah. They dont care about that. The bond of TDS is just too strong. The guy can act and sing. They will let a bit of time pass, and sliiiiiiide him back into something.

Nah again. Normal black and gay people wont be judged over this nonsense, why would they? Liberals and hate crime victims will certianly be looked at with a seasoned eye though. Pity about real hate crime victims, but fools like Smollet creaty the atmosphere of distrust..

Sounds like he could face federal terrorism hoax charges..IF they tie the letter to him.
This one line paragraph seemingly bried in the story really made my ears go up.

Meanwhile, the Osundairo brothers are reportedly holed up in a Chicago hotel with police protection.

Why do these guys need round the clock police protection? When you read something like this it makes you wonder where this is all going. How high up does this go?

The police are trying to keep anyone from contacting them. Threats, payoffs, to change their story, etc. It warms my heart to see them taking this case seriously.

I dont think this goes up very high. They dont want a couple of goobers taking a whack at them. Or a couple of far left types doing it, for making them look bad.

Yep. CPD dont want this stink rolling back on them either. They have enough credibility problems as it is.

What bugs me the most about that is there's no "rest of the story".

Did none of these people ask the obvious next question?

"Why?"
They were stooges being paid well for doing little. They may have felt it wasn't their place to ask why, or they assumed it had something to do with his schedule.

The links were provided early this morning and so much has been posted since, that's going to be tough to go back and find. It will come up again and when I see it, I'll post a link for you.

I know you weren't asking me, but I believe I referenced this before others did, and that may be why they're repeating it.

It's possible the cops are calling it protection when they really just don't want Jussie to pay them more money to get them to shut up. So it may be more like 24-hour observation rather than protection.

I disagree. The only people he made look bad were the fools that blindly believed him despite evidence to the contrary. So-called reporters have the most egg on their face, followed by the two idiot senators and Pelosi who, like a weasel, deleted her supportive tweets.

Jussie laid a trap and the deranged fell in it.

He did not make true victims look bad nor did he make blacks or gays look bad unless they acted the fool like Lee Daniels. Jussie’s behavior does not influence my opinion of any of those you mentioned.
