Yeah sure....

filing a false police report is definitely comparable to colluding with a foreign adversary in order to sway the outcome of a federal election.

where do you people come from?

Oh, a dramatic over-reaction? You mean like trump claiming that there is an emergency worth pouring your tax dollars into, especially if you are not Mexican?

The CHG Tribune, CHG Police and Fox dispute your narrative.

A law enforcement source said the two men, brothers in their 20s, were brought in for questioning Wednesday night from O’Hare International Airport. One of them worked as an extra on “Empire,” the source said.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi emphasized that the two “are not considered suspects at this time.””

He later characterized as “unconfirmed” a report by WLS-Ch. 7 that the two men had staged the attack with Smollett who, the station said, feared he was being written off “Empire.”

“Media reports (about) the Empire incident being a hoax are unconfirmed by case detectives,” Guglielmi tweeted Thursday evening.

“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.”

The Fox network, which produces and airs “Empire,” issued a statement insisting that “the idea that Jussie Smollett has been, or would be, written off of EMPIRE is patently ridiculous. He remains a core player on this very successful series and we continue to stand behind him.”

Even if Smollett was being written out, what good would it do for him to
stage an attack on himself? Even IF, how do you figure that would help him?

The Russian hoax seems to be racking up an impressive list of convictions... Just sayin', you white-supremacist moron.
