Possible, but he could do the usual “disappear into celebutard rehab” for a while.

The really interesting question is how involved the various politicians he knows in DC were. Why did Jussie pick the date that he did? Was it coordinated with Senator Harris and Senator Booker's anti lynching bill?

oh really? well that would change everything, of course.... but they are really terrible criminals if they kept that kind of evidence on hand rather than disposing of it quickly in some random trash receptacle.....

I don’t think we can trust too much rumor about what evidence the cops do or don’t have at this point. The brothers seem clearly to be involved in a hoax attack/beatdown, but I would still be surprised if they were involved with the letter (why would Jussie need to involve any other party in sending such a letter? it seems to be a solo kind of activity).

Liberals (i.e. Leftists) are a criminal class and use race and sex as weaponized victimhood to gain power, wealth and standing.

They are evil and we must continue to fight back by punching twice as hard.

Telling falsehoods to the FBI investigators is what Roger Stone is accused of. What do you think the odds are that more than 25 FBI agents carrying carbines will raid his apartment building with a CNN film crew out front? Pretty small I think.

Jussie has the I'm a friend of the DNC get out of jail card. It is the real pass from justice.

And yes, I can see some celebrity "rehab" in his future too.

From what I have read about the relevant Illinois law (but IANAL), Jussie can be charged with a Class 4 felony for the false report of a crime and could end up being sentenced to as much as 3 years in jail.

I read the same.

There have been recent convictions under the law.

He also has one "Go Directly To Jail" card ...

He's a sh!tty actor who hardly anyone ever heard of before this all happened.

He may not do any jail time, but I'd say his acting career is over.

They’re afraid of riots, so no charges will be filed.

interesting....It hinges on the phone records.
manager said he heard ‘MAGA Country’ on Phone.
If the call was never made, both are toast.

good point.... Chicago PD has every reason to review the real (unedited) phone records closely.... timing and length of calls between Jussie and various people could be revealing.

Certainly it must be documented whether or not Jussie and his manager were on the phone to each other at the time of the hoax attack, 2 am?? I’m never on the phone to anyone at such an hour, but then I am not living the gay nightlife in Chicago.

.@JussieSmollett is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know. I’m praying for his quick recovery.
This was an attempted modern day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate...

Maybe the manager did hear the slurs and “MAGA Country”, spoken by the Nigerians. But you’d think he would have picked up on the accent.

Silly question. Nothing at all will happen to him. After all, he is the approved of skin pigment and sexual orientation. We all know how it works at this point.

how about it.

I’m still amazed he managed to hang on to his phone during this brutal attack.
Smollett’s only out is to blame the nigerians for attacking him.
The nigerians have the magazines where the letters supposedly came from being used in the threatening letter.
The nigerians paid for the rope.
The nigerians paid for the bleach.
The nigerians had red hats.

...’cept they aint white...

Course, his attorneys will resign as they wont suborn perjury.
