Chicago cops would typically go after false statement folks, but I’m not sure if the city prosecutor wants to get into this business. He might just request that Smollett remove the statement.
Course, having this staged attack take place by two Nigerian guys...saying they were MAGA folks, presents an interesting ad for the 2020 election. If Smollett doesn’t detract the statement, and the Prosecutor just tries to forget it.... then you have a five-star 30-second advertisement for the Trump campaign in the state.
I like your thinking on that.
