This hoax had all the hallmarks of the standard and commonplace fake hate hoax we’ve become accustomed to. So on today’s show, I’ll again do the obligatory ‘at some point the media and public have to start being skeptical of these cases, right?’ segment.
On Saturday, Chicago police revealed that the focus of the investigation had “shifted.” CNN crime and justice reporter Shimon Prokupecz reported that authorities now believe that Smollett actually paid two men to fake the attack, both of whom were now cooperating with law enforcement.
According to law enforcement officials who spoke with TMZ, a grand jury will hear the case next week to examine its credibility. The police sources also provided details on why Smollett’s claims seemingly lacked credibility.
“The sources say there were red flags from the get-go,” TMZreported. “Cops were extremely suspicious when Jussie took them out to the area where he said he was attacked and pointed to an obscure camera saying how happy he was that the attack was on video. Turns out the camera was pointing in the wrong direction. Cops thought it was weird he knew the location of that camera.”
The Plaintiffs asserting each of these causes of action specifically allege that they donated to the DNC or to Bernie Sanders‘s campaign. But not one of them alleges that they ever read the DNC’s charter or heard the statements they now claim are false before making their donations. And not one of them alleges that they took action in reliance on the DNC’s charter or the statements identified in the First Amended Complaint (DE 8). Absent such allegations, these Plaintiffs lack standing.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) botched the operation of its Voluntary Leave Bank Program, making federal investigators question the program’s solvency and integrity, the EPA Office of Inspector General (OIG) reported Monday.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced Tuesday, to the delight of rural America, that the Trump administration is moving to rescind the Obama era’s “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS) regulatory rule.
People got license plates–except in Georgia, where it’s apparently been banned as a prohibited term for vanity plates, along with things like racial slurs, “KKK,” and sexual references. Interestingly enough, variations of “covfefe,” such as “c0vfefe” and “c0vf3f3,” are also banned.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-V) ducked questions from a Fox News reporter regarding the FBI‘s investigation into his wife, and instead pivoted to talk about healthcare.
Appearing on CNN last night, an agitated Sanders deflected and distorted when asked about the situation by anchor Erin Burnett. He laughs derisively when the subject is first broached, interrupts the question, refuses to answer it (twice), then claims this was all cooked up by a Trump supporter to “attack” his wife — which he calls “pathetic.”
So the Democrats, after opposing Donald Trump in the 2016 election partly out of what they claimed was concern about his incivility and coarseness, are now pursuing a debate about health care legislation in Washington by characterizing the Republicans who disagree with them about policy details as mass murderers.
