According2Sam #23

This Jussie Smollett story has a lot of angles, but essentially it’s a story about a troubled man who wanted to be seen as a victim of a hate crime by a Trump supporter. He gave it two attempts, and became angry when the first attempt to mail himself a threating letter didn’t received the attention he hoped. He then planned the more elaborate scheme to pay two men to attack him, pour bleach on him, and tie a rope around his neck, all while berating him with racist and gay slurs, and of course the important line, “this MAGA country”. What are the facts surrounding this story, and how does Jussie’s account of the story differ from the story Cook County prosecutor’s?
