Jussie Smollett’s legal team deserves a raise for all the hard work they’re putting in.

In the same interview in which his lawyer Tina Glandian suggested that Smollett mistook the Osundairo brothers for white dudes because they could’ve been in whiteface, Glandian basically undermined Smollett’s original story:

You’ve got to watch the last few minutes. “This wasn’t a very brutal attack,” says the lawyer for the alleged, er, victim https://t.co/aSDgTmf1yy — Allahpundit (@allahpundit) March 28, 2019

You can even see the moment when she realizes what she’s done (it’s at about the 9:20 mark). Claiming that the real brutality was the Chicago Police doing their job was a nice touch, too. Well done all around, Tina!

Oh, so it was a fake attack? Hey, Tina… they didn't tell you about cases like this in law school, did they? They didn't even warn you… — Mousewrangler (@Mousewrangler2) March 28, 2019

Weird. Kamala Harris called it a "modern day lynching"https://t.co/t0oS59ndHb — Patrick_Squarepants (@PatrickSquarep6) March 28, 2019

Yeah, well, maybe Kim Foxx told her to say that.
