L.A. Civil Rights Activist Calls for Arrest of Mr. Smollett
Najee Ali, director of Project Islamic HOPE, called for the arrest of actor Jussie Smollett during a press conference on Sunday. Scroll down for a big update on the letter…
Meanwhile, many celebrities are choosing to hold on to the victim narrative even as Smollett’s story continues to crumble. WARNING: You are about to lose any remaining brain cells.
LETTER UPDATE: Two Lakeview brothers who were previously considered “persons of interest” in Smollett’s purported attack told police during interrogations last week that Smollett staged the hate crime because he was upset that the threat letter did not get enough attention, ABC7 Chicago reported Monday afternoon. Detectives are investigating their claim.
From: CWB Chicago
Meanwhile, the FBI and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service has been quietly working on the origins of Smollett’s letter for nearly a month. Giving it far more “attention” than he knew.
Late Monday, CWBChicago received confirmation that the letter case has been before a federal grand jury and multiple subpoenas have been generated over the course of the investigation.
In a conversation on Feb. 8th, before police met with brothers Ola and Abel Osundairo, a leading source within the Smollett attack investigation called the hate crime a “false flag” and said “There is a direct line between (the letter) and (the purported attack).” In the same conversation, the source hinted at what was to come: “This is not a whodunit. It’s a how-many-people-dunit.”

Greg Gutfeld did a good job encapsulating the mess:
If you click and go to this tweet (on Twitter), you’ll find a huge list of documented hoax hate crimes. Another list of hoaxes.
Right after Donald Trump’s election, the SPLC really stoked panic. A pro-gay Episcopal church in Indiana was vandalized w/“Heil Trump,” a swastika, & an anti-gay slur. Turns out it was the gay organ player who did it. He was only charged w/a misdemeanor. https://t.co/QxeOoBHohC
