CBS News has learned that a last-minute phone call may have saved "Empire" star Jussie Smollett from potentially being indicted. Last month, the actor claimed he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack as he walked home in the middle of the night. Two brothers have now told Chicago police Smollett paid them to stage the assault.
A source close to the investigation tells CBS News the brothers were set to appear in front of a grand jury Tuesday. But CBS News correspondent Dean Reynolds reports those plans were abruptly scrapped after a "Hail Mary" call from Smollett's defense team.

My guess is It All Leads back to Senator Harris and the Dems are pulling out all stops to keep the truth from coming out.
He’ll get away with it.
The only decisions being made behind the scenes now are political ones.
This doesn’t make any sense.
See BS?
Why, Yes, yes I do!....................
My guess is It All Leads back to Senator Harris and the Dems are pulling out all stops to keep the truth from coming out.
I think your guess is a great guess.
This was all tied (no pun intended) to get this fool some needed publicity and to help Harris/Booker get their bill passed.
Disgusting on SO many levels.
Smollett didn't even know where he would be until just before 2....when he got really, really hungry. Guess his fridge was empty.
What did Kamala know and when did she know it?
That is my thought too. I think that he was set up to do this for them (the Dems) to hype the recent lynching bill in the senate, and given reassurances that he would not have to worry about the consequences; they would protect him.
If they cut him off and hang him out to dry, he will have to be “Seth Rich”ed, or “Vince Foster”ed, for the protection of the politicians.
Just a humble guess....but I’d bet on some mental breakdown...going off to a facility for 90 days of some rehab, and offering to pay for the cops time and court time.
Lynching is now a crime? Who knew!!
All that at 2am in the middle of a polar vortex!
He faked a chemical attack in a terrorist threat using the US Postal Service. Federal charges. He's done.
You’re thinking that the law applies evenhandedly. The fix is in. The machine/deep state/mockingbirds are disappearing it,
Would Senator Harris be so stupid to be involved in something like this? She was an AG herself. The first thing someone asks oneself is what could go wrong?
Smollett was broadcasting his location on Instagram through out the night.
She was smolletted.
Phone call? From who? Well that sounds like obstruction of justice.
IIRC, Jussie’s mom is a “Harris”....Any connection?
