FAKE NEWS MEDIA WORKED OVERTIME ON THIS STORY
Fake news media hoped to make it go away after they took him at his word despite the many red flags.
Watching this sniveling bitch would ordinarily be a hoot. What makes it tragic, however, is that this worthless lump of dogshit would have been just fine with any two innocent white people being arrested and imprisoned for his hoax. #JussieSmollett pic.twitter.com/c6MMsp1h2i

The FBI is investigating the death threat letter sent to Smollett. He could be guilty of mail fraud, and that has a stiffer penalty. It’s not clear who sent the letter.
Gloria Schmidt, the lawyer for Ola and Abel Osundairo, said her clients testified before the Grand Jury Thursday for two-and-a-half hours and laid out their story that Jussie put them up to a fake assault. Schmidt said the brothers testified separately and they have no criminal exposure.
She wants to know how Smollett sleeps at night.
