Frenz, bare in mind that there are individuals who have a cognitive condition, that are smart, brilliant, but lack social skills or empathy (like the lead investigator of the mini series "The Bridge). So don't take it personal, just roll with it!
Smollett needs to be held accountable for criminal deception, otherwise these kinds of accusations will continue. We understand and accept when people like Manafort are held to account for their criminality and lying to authorities. I hope the ILL. LEO and DA follow the rule of law and have Smollett be held to account for his lies.
