The Jussie Smollett ‘assault’ story continues to fall apart before our eyes.
And, once again, the American media took the bait and ran with the unsubstantiated and ludicrous allegations by a vocal Trump-hating leftist.
Actor Jussie Smollett arrived in Chicago on Monday night. He was out to get fast food at 2 a.m. when he was allegedly attacked by two Trump supporters in MAGA hats who recognized him in the freezing cold, beat him, poured bleach on him and put a noose around his neck.
It was -15 to -30 degrees wind chill on Tuesday morning.
Smollett’s story keeps changing.
The manager later told police he overheard the assault.

Jessie Smollett said he was assaulted and suffered a cracked rib but condo surveillance video shows Smollett walking past security to the elevator without telling them he had just been attacked by thugs who “beat the hell out of him” and “broke his ribs.”

Another bizarro detail overnight via @RobElgasABC7 – condo surveillance video shows Smollett walking past security to the elevator. Without telling them he had just been attacked by thugs who "beat the hell out of him" and "broke his ribs" acc. to @TMZ 🤔https://t.co/a59qjKpN1C

And Jessie Smollett says he was talking to his manager during the assault but he won’t turn over his phone.
Smollett's folly? The actor refuses to allow Chicago detectives to access his phone, in order to independently verify his manager's claim that he heard the "MAGA country" attack while they were talking. That's not shady.https://t.co/E5V49rX22D

Now this…
The Associated Press reported that police had released images of “persons of interest” from surveillance camera footage, but were unable to find footage of Smollett being attacked.
The persons depicted in the police release were said to be walking away from the scene prior to 1:45AM.
A consideration regarding the "potential persons of interest" being sought by police in connection with reported hate crime incident in Streeterville: The men are walking *away* from the attack scene 15-30 minutes *before* the incident, per police timing of events.

Jussie refused to turn his phone over.

Jussie claims he got his ass beat in -15 degree weather but at least they didn’t take his sandwich!
#ChicagoPolice source tells @fox32news that #JussieSmollett was seen on surveillance still holding his #Subway sandwich when he returned to the building after the alleged attack.
