“Empire” actor Jussie Smollett, upset after a racist letter sent to the show’s studio didn’t get a “bigger reaction,” is suspected of paying two men to attack him a week later, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the investigation.

“When the letter didn’t get enough attention, he concocted the staged attack,” a source told CBS 2 Investigator Brad Edwards. Other sources corroborated that information.

More:

“Smollett received a letter containing a white powder Jan. 22. The letter was mailed to Chicago’s Cinespace Studios, where the show “Empire” is filmed. The letter prompted a HAZMAT response. CPD says the “white substance” was later determined to be aspirin.

The note was crafted with letters apparently cut out from magazines to form words. The pieced-together message contained racial and homophobic threats directed at Smollett. A magazine is one of the pieces of evidence retrieved from the brother’s home last week during a search conducted by CPD. Investigators also recovered a book of stamps.”

Even Inspector Clouseau could find the motive for this one.

Yeah, CBS has its magnifying glass out, and is searching high and low for anything that might be a clue into this fool's motive.

It’s starting to look like Smelly might be in a heap of trouble. Outstanding.

It looks like they think he put the brothers up to sending the letter and then upset he didn’t get the attention he wanted he got them involved in the hoax.

If this is factually what happened he needs to be shunned by Hollywood and do the maximum jail time. This fakery cannot be tolerated and more than a real attack.

According to yesterday’s article, Trump supporters don’t watch “Empire”. Heck, until Smelly’s “allegations of being lynched” came along, I never heard of him or “Empire”.

They are trying to make an excuse in which he’s still a victim. Except he sent the hoax letter as well.

How would “not getting enough attention” be a good motive?

The letter prompted a HAZMAT response. CPD says the “white substance” was later determined to be aspirin.

Chicago police say the FBI is handling the investigation surrounding the letter, because that’s a federal-level concern.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I think this is why Jussie’s toast is ultimately is going to get ‘burned’. He cost CPD a LOT of money/time, the studio time/money/aggravation (dealing with HAZMAT situation), & FBI time/money ‘sitting in’ with CPD & investigative time. Jussie shouldn’t “skate” - I hope he doesn’t. If this is not dealt with in a very serious way, look out - lots of letters by all the other Leftists out there looking for attention & perpetrating anti-MAGA hoax cr@p.
