Smollett tries victim ploy: 'untreated drug problem'

It looks as if Jussie Smollett is going for an intersectional defense in his "hate hoax" debacle which tried to convince people he was a victim of a homophobic and racial hate attack by 2 white guys wearing MAGA hats.  Now he's claiming to have an untreated drug problem, like a huge percent of Hollywood actors.

He allegedly told police on Thursday when he turned himself in, about his drug problem, and is apparently hoping that the story works to keep him out of prison.

TMZ reports that Smollett, a black, gay, mediocre actor with a hate in his heart for President Trump and apparently white men [he was willing to testify against innocent white men if they were apprehended in the area of the "crime"] told police that "on several occasions," had obtained drugs from one of his buddies he used to "attack" him.

He is hoping the drug ploy will help to get his sentence reduced, unless, of course, it is discovered that he sent himself the letter with crushed Tylenol to make it appear to be a deadly substance. That would be a federal crime and more serious in nature than the current felony charge.

"Jussie told police, during his arrest, he has a drug problem ... one for which he's never been treated," TMZ reported updating their report on Smollett's charges Thursday. "That could become relevant later in the case because, as we reported, cops say Jussie bought ecstasy from Abel. IF he were convicted, a drug issue could be a mitigating factor that gets his sentenced reduced." TMZ also notes that Smollett said "answered 'no' to alcohol or mental health problems."

The case was made rather easy for police because Smollett allegedly paid the two brothers he hired to "attack" him with a personal check. It isn't clear if he wrote in the notation section of the check: "For homophobic/racist attack," but he might as well have, the idiot.

I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
