Wonder what the chances are of him being charged with filing a false report? He did waste funds and time with his fake report ( fake noose as cybercowboy wrote )

IMHO they will charge him then spend months delaying the process until something else gets in the news cycle then drop it. It IS Chicago.

Rut roh! Could there be federal criminal charges in the offing for using the US mail to promote this criminal conspiracy?

I knew this was bullshit when he claimed men in Chicago yelled "This is MAGA country."

Felony criminal charges against Jussie Smollett approved, Chicago police say

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainmen...ago-police-say

Authorities in Chicago on Wednesday approved felony criminal charges against "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett, hours after he was "officially classified as a suspect in a criminal investigation" for allegedly "filing a false police report" in connection with his Jan. 29 attack claims, police said.

The update in the case was provided by the department's Chief of Communications Officer Anthony Guglielmi on Twitter, who said the Cook County State's Attorney's Office approved the "Disorderly Conduct / Filing a False Police Report" charges.

"Detectives will make contact with his legal team to negotiate a reasonable surrender for his arrest," he continued.

So far, Smollet has not surrendered, Chicago police told Fox News. His attorneys were made aware of the charges.

Earlier Wednesday evening, Guglielmi tweeted that detectives on the case were laying out evidence to a grand jury in Cook County.

Smollett's attorneys Todd Pugh and Victor Henderson released a statement on their client's behalf.

“Like any other citizen, Mr. Smollett enjoys the presumption of innocence, particularly when there has been an investigation like this one where information, both true and false, has been repeatedly leaked," the statement said. "Given these circumstances, we intend to conduct a thorough investigation and to mount an aggressive defense."

In a statement to Fox News on Wednesday, 20th Century Fox Television, which produces "Empire," and Fox Entertainment, said they had "no comment at this time."

Smollett, who is openly gay and black, reported that on Jan. 29, he was attacked by two masked men as he was walking home from a Subway restaurant. He claimed that the men shouted racial and anti-gay slurs at him, poured a substance on him, threw a rope around his neck and shouted, "This is MAGA country!"

Investigators combed through surveillance video from the area where Smollett claimed he was attacked but were unsuccessful in locating footage of the beating. They did find and release images of two people they said they wanted to question.

Two individuals who were questioned about the alleged crime were arrested, police told Fox News on Friday. Although police did not elaborate on what crime was potentially committed, they said the individuals were not charged. Authorities had considered them to be suspects, however, according to Guglielmi at the time.

The two men — whom police identified only as Nigerian brothers — were picked up at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport last Wednesday and taken into custody after returning from Nigeria after police learned that at least one of the men worked on "Empire," Guglielmi said. He did not know what the man's job was on the television drama, he said.

Guglielmi confirmed that a search warrant was executed at the Chicago apartment where the men lived but did not have any information about exactly what police found.

On Friday evening, Guglielmi tweeted that "due to new evidence" obtained through questioning, the individuals "were released without charging."

The following day, police said Smollett was no longer considered a victim in their investigation. Police earlier said that the "trajectory of the investigation" shifted and that they wanted to conduct another interview with Smollett about the alleged hate crime.

The police department on Tuesday also rejected a tip they said they'd received about the case earlier that day.

"CPD has confirmed that a tip this morning about a sighting at the residential towers of individuals involved in this alleged incident is unfounded as it was not supported by video evidence obtained by detectives," Guglielmi tweeted.

Police can't confirm tip that Jussie Smollett was in elevator with two brothers on night of reported attackVideo
Amid questions about the alleged attack, Smollett said earlier this month that he was angry and "pissed off" about "attacks" he's received from people that didn't believe or didn't care, about his allegations.

His comments came during an interview with ABC News' Robin Roberts on "Good Morning America."

"At first it was a thing of like, listen, if I tell the truth, then that's it — cause it's the truth," he said. "Then it became a thing of like, oh, how can you doubt that? Like how do you not believe that? It's the truth."

all because he wanted more money.....

Played that race/gay card 1 too many times it seems... f-ing idiot.

I want to see him face federal time for the terrorist hoax letter to himself. If it was sent to his workplace, they probably evacuated the building. He needs to face serious jail time. Looks like he wanted to start a race war, and these are the types of things that the media whips the crowd into a frenzy with.

No, probably not. This was all about Kamala and Cory getting their anti-lyching bill passed, that also would have criminalized white people gathering together. It already passed the Senate, I'm sure it will pass the House now, but hopefully Trump can veto it, and with the notoriety of this case, the Senate won't be able to override.

Smollett is personal butt buddies with Barack and Michael, and a girlfriend of Kamala, it's been documented in photos.

They can't cover this up, but they can keep you from asking who else was in on it. Don't fall for it.

All the Liberals who jumped to his defense while vilifying the Covington kids need to stand in front of a mirror and repeat 100 times.
