ESPN loudmouth Stephen A. Smith just painted the arrests made by the FBI this morning of the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers head coach, Chauncey Billups, and Miami Heat player Terry Rozier, among others, as retribution by President Trump.
Seriously. He ties all of this directly to Trump and claims that he’s doing this because he believes people tried to throw him in jail or something:
I’d bet money that Trump didn’t even know about this investigation until maybe the last few days. It was a years-long investigation, so how exactly is this about him???
Also, and this is crucial, if this NBA coach and player didn’t break the law, none of this would have happened. How is Trump coming when it was them who broke the law??? Does the law not matter any more because Trump is president?
And the reason the FBI director was at the press conference this morning is simply because it is so high profile, involving an NBA coach, a player and a former player, and THE MAFIA.
Sometimes Stephen A. Smith says some good stuff, but he’s an absolute a-hole conspiracy theorist on this one. He needs to stick to sports and forget politics.
