It's a strategy that often works: when you are caught lying, blame your accuser(s) of trying to smear your integrity and play the victim card.
A grand jury's decision to indict Jussie "Something Smells" Smollett on 16 felony counts was "outrageous," the defense lawyer for the alleged hoaxer said.
Such charges have never before been filed on a "victim of a hate crime," attorney Mark Geragos told anchor Anderson Cooper on CNN's "AC360," proving they are probably long overdue and should have been filed against Brett Kavanaugh's accusers.
“What is happening here is, frankly, a media gang-bang of this guy of unprecedented proportions," Geragos said., using the word 'frankly' to sound serious. "And that’s the reason I got into this. I’ve never seen a media pendulum swing more quickly and viciously and rob somebody of their presumption of innocence like this case. It’s startling the way people assume that he’s guilty." But less startling in the Donald Trump case, the Brett Kavanaugh case and practically any case involving anyone not on the intersectional left.
The indictment released Friday details Smollett’s disorderly conduct charges for allegedly fabricating a hate crime on January 29th in Chicago.
Geragos criticized Chicago investigators, who he insisted did not speak to anyone at 20th Century Fox or from the "Empire" television series over Smollett’s supposed salary frustrations. The network had no comment Friday.
But investigators did speak to the two "white" men who were paid with a Jussie Smollett personal check to were allegedly hired by the gay actor/singer to fake an attack on him.
Smollett claimed he went out for a Subway sandwich at 2 a.m. during a polar vortex, when two white men in MAGA hats happened to be carrying a rope, some fluid and fought with him. Somehow they knew his sexual orientation as they allegedly shouted "This is MAGA country" and used racial and sexual slurs as brave Jussie fought them off and they simply left.
The actor then went back to his apartment, rope still around his neck, sandwich still intact [he bravely held onto his Subway sandwich] waited for 40 minutes before calling police, told them he was on the phone [at 2 a.m.] with his manager when the attack occurred, and refused to let Chicago PD see his phone when they requested it.
The alleged hoaxer's lawyer also slammed the Chicago PD over alleged leaks to the media, saying “all of the information that was being leaked was false.”
When Smollett's account of the attack first emerged, he had defenders coming out of the walls: in Hollywood, the media, and among Democrats seeking the presidency in 2020, including U.S. Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey, both of whom called the alleged attack a “modern-day lynching,” before Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, a black man with no ax to grind, went public with his investigators’ findings.
Smollett has reportedly been written off the final two episodes of the current season of “Empire.” It was unclear whether he will return next season.
It's unlikely that Smollett will actually serve any time in prison for his crime, in spite of the notion that if the police came up with two white men on video in the area at the time, that Smollett would have probably pointed the finger of guilt at them and let them go to jail.
But his lawyer is blaming everyone else, as lawyers must do, to take the focus off of the alleged hate hoaxer.
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.
