The cops have already covered that angle. Rumor has it they're going to be making a couple of arrests in Virginia. :-P

The lawyer for the 2 men who were arrested and then released in connection with the alleged attack on Jussie Smollett says the new evidence that has changed this case is something her clients told cops.
Attorney Gloria Schmidt was at the Chicago police station Friday night, after her clients, Ola and Abel Osundairo, were released from custody. Schmidt said the "new evidence" that triggered the release of her clients was something they knew and presumably told cops.
Our photog asked Schmidt flat out if the "attack" was staged, and she answered obliquely, saying there were moving parts and she didn't want to speculate.
As we reported, Ola and Abel both worked on "Empire," and Abel was especially friendly with Jussie.
And, something else interesting ... she wouldn't answer why her clients went to Nigeria the day of the alleged attack, but added it was a "great question."
She said she didn't want to speak for her clients because they had a story to tell "when the time is right." That clearly sounds like they have inside information about what went down at Jussie's apartment building.
From the media’s point of view, the fact that this is a hoax is it relevant.
After it is proven to be a hoax, which it will be, the media attitude will be “hey it’s fake but accurate and it raises public awareness of hate crimes”.
Jamie Foxx? Hm...
The noose touch should have been the first clue that this was a hoax.

You sho nuff have a way wit words. A great ‘magination, too.
LOL. Apparently someone here didn’t like it. Oh, well.
I was suspicious when I learned that his Subway sandwich came through the attack with flying colors.
You didn’t post from “The hill” of trash for this story? Could it be that the left-wing “Hill” of trash isn’t covering this?
It is almost surprising he was ever believed. 2 am on a freezing street, the MAGA guys cruising looking for gay black actors to hang with their handy noose...
Sad that you could not do In Living Color today.
Shoot, you couldn’t even do it back then. The show ultimately crashed because the network kept censoring them.
rather amazing two Nigerian guys would know who to pick from the lineup of east coast availables. I’d have expected a west coast attny.
Smollett's story was too fantastical from the very start. The account was so over the top, it was fairly obvious it was made up out of whole cloth by someone with a huge imagination.
I can't believe how many libs jumped up to defend the guy, when his story was so completely suspect. Total knee-jerk identity politics.
Yep. I bet he'd be a prize princess in the penitentiary.
