@duluth there was suspicion immediately after he went to the cops? i dont remember hearing anything until the investigated which took several days
just googling and it says they didn't raid the house of the guys he paid until 2 weeks after these tweets
The cops didn't believe his story from day one, because it was lunacy. He was still wearing the "noose" when the police arrived to his apartment, but he had apparantly eaten the subway sandwich he'd gone out for in sub antarctic weather at 2am (and that's just the start)
Guy is getting what he deserved, same with the virtue signallers that couldn't wait to tweet about it.

@kirwan i agree he's getting what he deserves
And the people that jumped to conclusions on such a stupid story deserve to be mocked, and those holding office should be apologising. But they won't.
People's lives get ruined by these online mobs, they shouldn't be part of them. Certainly shouldn't be without knowing the facts.

Ummmm - because they were not in the country?
"Investigators learned that these two men were returning to Chicago on Feb. 13 from Nigeria and moved in."
That was two weeks and one day after the Fantasy Attack. Police knew who they were well before that. You will find that reported in the papers, and the rest of it.
The police were sceptical within 24 hours of the complaint, the dogs were barking and you, kiwiwomble, maintain - "... they didn't know he was lying when they posted did they?"- the small p president and his offsider knew nothing of that?
You could put donkeys in charge and they would know better than these dopes to keep their traps shut! One should not be surprised - degenerate li'l joe did the same to Kyle Rittenhouse.
Jan 29 Smollett reports Fantasy Attack to police, described as "reluctant", won't hand over his mobile phone to assist them.
Jan 31 Just two days later ... Smollett and his family start releasing statements and appearing on ABC News to address "frustrations and deep concern with certain inaccuracies and misrepresentations that have been spread". Simultaneously Harris and Biden's statements are made.Don Lemon spots an opportunity and states he was in daily contact "during the early parts of the ... investigation". Smollett testified last week that Lemon had then - in the first few days of Feb 2019 - warned him that the police did not believe him.
Feb 13 Police arrest brothers returning from Nigeria on arrival at airport.
Feb 14 Smollett is called in and re-interviewed by Chicago police.
Feb 15 Police release the Nigerians without charge.
Feb 21: Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson calls a press conference, commences with "I wish the families of gun violence got this much attention." and gives Our Juicy both barrels for being a grubby little turd. -

As I have said the stuff I read, which seems to be less in depth than some of you, didn’t suggest they were sceptical within 24 hours, but if they were and I just didn’t see it reported then fair play
He wasn’t President then though so I don’t know how much he would have had access to ongoing police investigations, especially within 24 hours, just seems more likely a reactive text to all the press

Maybe. but is that really the point here?
Harris is a former District Attorney and should have known better than just jump in and assume everything Smollett said was true without testing the basic facts. Even worse, that assumption seems to have been made by her and Biden on the basis of Smollett's skin colour.

At last the penny drops! Thank you.
Further, even if they feel no need to respect the law, both have lackeys piled six high in their office who can get on the phone to the detectives and get all the information they need, to then assess whether they should remain silent or not.
It is likely neither of them have the wit to do that though.

@mick-gold-coast-qld it was such an orgy of potential virtue signalling, with the race, noose and imaginary maga hats, I wouldn’t be surprised if the tweets were typed with one hand.

There's the thing. Just as racists cheered when black people were lynched, today's "progressives" get a warm feeling when black people are attacked, as it equally reinforces their prejudices.

And scratch their white saviour itch.
Dave Chapelle has a great bit on this, talking about how the black community reaction was roughly “that’s bullshit”
