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.

How much time and money was spent on this while others in Chicago were being shot, stabbed and beaten? Are all of our cops as stupid as the Chicago police dept?

They rolled on him. They didnt commit a crime, they just did what they were paid by Smollet to do.

They don't want to be deported, and lose the ability to re-enter the US. Whatever they might have been paid, they have decided it wasn't enough to take the fall for him.

They are sure working hard to make this publicity stunt into an actual crime. I guess it would go against the agenda to portray a double victim as the sh!t heel that he is.

He claimed the attackers were white with MAGA hats. Did these black guys wear whiteface?

"Juicy can meet all kinds of buff guys, if they make him the queen of cell 13."

I would like to think that. But this guy will never serve time. I don't think he will even be indicted with evidence. It will be swept under the rug. Got to keep the Chicago minorities happy. If by chance he does get charged, his best bet would to go for a jury trial and not take a plea deal. A Cook county jury will let this guy off for sure. He's just been a victim of racism and homophobia all his little ol life.

Those two individuals were employed as extras during filming of Empire.

Can’t help but wonder if Jussie...struck up a friendship with them...and arranged the whole thing.

“Who would think that President Trump or his supporters would do this kind of thing?”

Are you kidding? Liberalism is a mental disorder. It’s a psychosis. Countless millions probably believe it. That’s why this hoax has to be exposed.

“...multiple black men are shot by other black men in South Chicago...”

Ho-hum. Just another day/week/month/year in Chi-town, quietly sanctioned by the mayor & co.

Has anyone thought about whether Smollett was paid by some Dems in DC? Didn’t they have some bill up about making lynching illegal or something? It just passed in Congress, didn’t it? Would there possibly be a connection there??

The revolution is funded by globalist wealth in astronomical numbers. Jussie will “profit” from this hoax and it wouldn’t surprise me if this was a coordinated event staged with the financial blessing of leftist money.
