Two men arrested in connection with an alleged attack on "Empire" star Jussie Smollett have been released without being charged due to new evidence from interrogations on Friday, Chicago police said.

"Due to new evidence as a result of today's interrogations, the individuals questioned by police in the Empire case have now been released without charging and detectives have additional investigative work to complete," police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement.

Are we all forgetting that he first planned this attack by mailing threatening letters to himself? That is a federal felony.

The police have no choice in this case except to pursue it to the fullest. Cripes, here I am defending Chicago cops. Whodathunk? But seriously there’s no sweeping this one under the rug.

Did the Nigerians sing?

Like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Jussie's new mouthpiece is going to cost him more than his next season, bet on it. He'll be lucky to stay out of jail.

It is. But he is a protected minority at multiple levels. Don’t expect anything to happen to him. Instead, since the police are not allowed to touch the chief, watch them go after the indians. They have no one to advocate for them.

He should plead insanity. Tell the cops he’s bipolar and has two personalities, then convince them he was trying to frame himself.

So...where’s Chief Moose these days?

He should be able to scare up a nice white van and a couple of honky suspects.

I dunno, Chief Dan George was pretty good in “The Outlaw Josey Wales”.

Oh, sorry, that’s Chief Triple AWOL Firewater.

Since when does an innocent victim of crime hire a top dollar DEFENSE attorney?? (not to mention a PR firm also utilized by Harvey Swinestein).... it is looking like Jussie's hoax is about to blow up on him.....

Does Jussie have big bucks for this top defense attorney or is this being covered by some big ally in the “movement”??

Yes, Jussie is in the acting world, but he is rather obscure, I think, and probably not at all wealthy. At any rate, I never heard of him before this hoax, no matter how much his self-importance may have been pumped by this silly tale. MAGA white boys recognizing him at 2 am on a sub-zero night in Chicago?? I don’t think so..... I would never have been out in that neighborhood and wouldn’t have had the slightest idea who he is, anyway....
