CHICAGO (CBS) — Jussie Smollett paid two brothers to stage an attack against him, directed them to buy items used in the alleged assault and actually rehearsed it with them, sources say.
Sources say at least one of the brothers bought the rope used in the incident at Smollett’s request. The sources also say the “Empire” actor paid for the rope, which was purchased at the Crafty Beaver Hardware Store in the Ravenswood neighborhood the weekend of Jan. 25.
The brothers, who were questioned by police this week before being released, were paid $3,500 before leaving for Nigeria and were promised an additional $500 upon their return.
They left for Nigeria later in the day on Jan. 29, after the attack.
Sources said one of the brothers held the rope and poured bleach while the other wore a plain red hat and yelled slurs at Smollett.
The sources say the red hat was bought at an Uptown beauty supply store and that the attack was supposed to happen before Jan. 29. The brothers told detectives the three men rehearsed the attack days prior to it happening.
Smollett claims two men attacked him in Streeterville early Jan. 29 as he was heading to his apartment. He said they yelled racial and homophobic slurs at him, poured a chemical on him and put a rope around his neck.
Since being released Friday night, the brothers have been staying in an undisclosed location.
Chicago police spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said:
“We can confirm that the information received from the individuals questioned by police earlier in the Empire case has in fact shifted the trajectory of the investigation. We’ve reached out to the Empire cast member’s attorney to request a follow-up interview.”
Police raided the the brothers’ home on Wednesday

You can’t fix stupid. All you can do is shine a light on it.
These guys sold their souls for $4,000 each. And Smollett evidently does not have a soul, or at least the moral part of one.
The Nigerian rednecks yelled, “This is Trump Country”!
TDS.
I guess "The sources also say the “Empire” actor paid for the clothesline"...just doesn't sell copy...or a false impression, as rope does.
(anybody with any sense knows that A CLOTHESLINE COULDN'T HANG ANYBODY ('cause it's too thin, like this whole contrived story))
This is CBS. How can we believe it?
So WHY hasn’t Jussie been arrested yet?? Oh yeah....he’s a Black Gay Democrat!! TRIFECTA for escaping Justice!
“Say “MAGA, MAGA!” with feeling this time...”
Does this guy not watch Forensic files? You always get caught.
The biggest tip off? MAGA hats in Chicago.
I keep a crackpot leftist feed on my Twitter account to keep tabs on the commies after events like this. You’ll be shocked to learn the story has all but disappeared. AP and Stelter have some comments on it, but that’s about it.
Covington and now Jussie, it’s been a banner year for the fake news media, and we’re only in February. Left wing activists make up stories to slander Trump voters because they know the media will eat it up and blast it out. Who only knows how many people hear their whispered corrections. Happens all the time. Guy with a common name goes on a shooting spree and they’re reporting false matches from Tea Party groups. Guy shoots up a Christmas Party yelling Allahu Akbar, and we must not jump to any conclusions about the motive.
There is no difference between our media and that of any tinhorn communist dictatorship, except some better cgi chyrons.
So Jussie must have meant for this to be on a security camera, otherwise you don’t need to rehearse it and act it out and wear a red hat. So they must have screwed up on the location.
Jussie must have been stunned when he took the police to the spot and realized the camera was pointed in the other direction, and the performance was not recorded.
“You always get caught.”

Once again immigrants are doing the jobs Americans won’t do. In this case, committing hate crimes.
Her Royal Highness, Maxine Waters continued to point out that Trump had incited the attack on Smollett, even after the story had unraveled to the point that Smollett was changing his story by the minute....Trump needs to use clips of Waters making these claims in his campaign for 2020.
Anyone with enough neurons to form a synapse knew from the get-go that this was a hoax. Which is why most Democrats and the media fell for it.
I noticed he’s gone from “star” of the show Empire, to: “Empire” actor.
Just a subtle way of throwing him under the bus, now that the game has been exposed, and doesn’t conform to their agenda.
Same thing over on DU. That's where I go to keep up with what they are up to. They were all over the story when it first came out but once it started looking like a liberal setup they locked the topic. Lack of free speech over there is amazing. They aren't allowed to post anything that puts Dems in a bad light. They change headings of news to put a bad slant on us and a good one on them. They have more fake news than fake new.
He’s actually been the director a few times.

STOP THE LEAKS!
Have to make sure he can get a fair trial.
