Contractors work under a contract. Sometimes it's good for the individual, sometimes it's good for the agency. But they both understood the deal from the start (or should have).

I don’t understand why you’d vote no as a presidential candidate on a compromise bill averting a shutdown when you just railed the incumbent for shutting down the government.

https://t.co/Xw7aBHjh5M@WGNInvestigates has learned new details about the two men police are questioning about Jussie Smollett’s claim he was the victim of a racial & homophobic attack:
1) Both men are African-American
2) At least 1 of them is connected to the “Empire” show
Latest on @WGNNews at 4p
MORE: Source states phone records provided by Smollett were a spreadsheet. He downloaded his phone activity into a spreadsheet and then deleted certain phone calls. “He did the [detectives’] job for them because then they only had to focus on the numbers he deleted.”

Apparently he hooked up with some dude on Grindr and offered him a government job? Lol.Top comment on that thread: "All politics is scrotal."Three West Hollywood council members urge Mayor John Duran to resign amid harassment allegations. He says he won’t. “Look, I am a creature of the sexual liberation of the 1970s...I live out loud. I’m very colorful. I’m very flamboyant. I’m very sexual.”

Also, Robin Roberts is a coward. She gave legitimacy to his story earlier today with that softball interview. And this after his story had already been well on its way to falling apart.
So, the two biggest race/hate crime stories from the last month have both turned out to be complete and utter hoaxes, both complete with outrage from the media/celebrities/Left.
Yeah...nothing to see here.

FWIW, the Chicago PD are denying these reports.
Obviously there's still a lot of information to come out.Anthony Guglielmi, a Chicago police spokesman, posted on Twitter that ABC7’s sources are inaccurate.
“Media reports anout the Empire incident being a hoax are unconfirmed by case detectives,” he wrote. “Supt Eddie Johnson has contacted @ABC7Chicago to state on the record that we have no evidence to support their reporting and their supposed CPD sources are uninformed and inaccurate.”
Earlier Thursday, police said they were questioning the two men, but that they were not considered suspects. Local media reported that one of the men had appeared as an extra on “Empire.” Elgas reported that Smollett did not appear for a scheduled interview on Thursday. Sharp contradicted that, saying Smollett did answer additional police questions in person on Thursday.

They are covering their ass, imo. This is a VERY high profile story. For ABC Chicago to report that, their source has to be pretty ironclad.

U.S. retail sales in December suffered their worst decline in nine years, according to Commerce Department data released Thursday, a potential red flag for economic growth.
Advance estimates of December 2018 retail and food services sales, a major driver of the U.S. economy, fell 1.2 percent from the previous month, to $505.8 billion, according to the Census Bureau.
The drop is the steepest plunge in retails sales since August 2009, according to a Bloomberg News analysis of Commerce Department data.
Consumer spending is responsible for roughly 70 percent of U.S. growth and considered a key indicator of future economic conditions. The unexpected December plunge is the latest in a series of signs that growth is starting to slow after gradually accelerating since 2017.
