Jussie Smollett Was Involved In Creating Racist Letter, Which Later Led To Attack, Sources Say

SIAP: I did a search and didn't find this about the letter. _______________________________

Update: The two men once considered suspects in the Jussie Smollett case were prepared to testify to a grand jury Tuesday, but a last-minute call from Smollett’s lawyers claiming they possibly have new evidence led to prosecutors postponing the testimony.

CHICAGO (CBS) — The two brothers involved in the Jussie Smollett attack told police that Smollett was behind creating a racist letter that was sent to the actor on the set of his show, “Empire,” according to two sources with first-hand knowledge of the investigation.

And when that letter did not get a “bigger reaction,” Smollett orchestrated the attack a week later with the two men–Ola and Abel Osundairo, sources said. Also Tuesday, sources said the two brothers were seen on a ride share video camera before being dropped off near the location of the attack.

Smollett received a letter containing a white powder Jan. 22. The letter was mailed to Chicago’s Cinespace Studios, where the show “Empire” is filmed. The letter prompted a HAZMAT response. CPD says the “white substance” was later determined to be aspirin.

The note was crafted with letters apparently cut out from magazines to form words. The pieced-together message contained racial and homophobic threats directed at Smollett. A magazine is one of the pieces of evidence retrieved from the brother’s home last week during a search conducted by CPD. Investigators also recovered a book of stamps.

Smollett claims two men attacked him in Streeterville early Jan. 29 as he was heading to his apartment. He said they yelled racial and homophobic slurs at him, poured a chemical on him and put a rope around his neck.

Sources say at least one of the brothers bought the rope used in the incident at Smollett’s request. The sources also say the “Empire” actor paid for the rope, which was purchased at the Crafty Beaver Hardware Store in the Ravenswood neighborhood the weekend of Jan. 25.

Sources said one of the brothers held the rope and poured bleach while the other wore a plain red hat and yelled slurs at Smollett.

The sources say the red hat was bought at an Uptown beauty supply store and that the attack was supposed to happen before Jan. 29. The brothers told detectives the three men rehearsed the attack days prior to it happening. Smollett paid the brothers $3,500.

CBS 2 Brad Edwards reports, the State’s Attorney Kim Foxx has recused herself from the case. Acting State’s Attorney for the investigation will now be First Assistant State’s Attorney Joseph Magats.

Chicago police say the FBI is handling the investigation surrounding the letter, because that’s a federal-level concern.

Is his Agent going to be charged as an Accessory for telling the Police that he heard the White Guys yelling “this is MAGA Country” over the Phone during the fake attack?

He did it to help KamelToe with her anti-lynching bill in the Senate.

“Just before Jussie Smollet took the stage, his siblings were introduced and his eldest brother, Jojo read from a piece of paper.

He talked about how proud the family was of Jussie and how difficult the decision to perform this night was for everyone.

It had only been five days since the performer was the victim of a brutal racist and homophobic attack in Chicago.

“There’s been an outpouring of love and support.

There’s also been (inflammatory) stories spread that have hurt him deeply.

I sincerely wanted him to stay out of the public until he healed.

And after much debate, some arguing and many tears, my family and I have realized that tonight is an important part of his healing.

You see, he’s been a fighter since he was a baby.

He fought his attackers that night and he continues to fight.

Jussie is a true artist every time he breathes.

But above all else, he is the epitome of love.”

As soon as Jussie graced the stage, he hugged his family and while fighting back a few tears, he told the sold-out crowd “I had to be here tonight, y’all.

I can’t let (them) win. I couldn’t let those mother f–kers win.”

He went on to bravely explain more.

[Feb 2nd] Smollett Siblings & Their Ex Black Panther Mom Finally Speak On Jussie’s Racist Attack

iloveoldschoolmusic.com ^ | Feb 2, 2019

The past three days have been deeply trying for Empire actor, Jussie Smollett, to say the least.

After being brutally attacked by racists early Tuesday (January 29, 2019) morning, an ongoing investigation has resulted in several discoveries, but still no suspects apprehended.

Now, Jussie’s five siblings and Moms have decided to address the violent attack, as well as what they plan on doing about it going forward.

FYI: Their Mom was an activist and a member of The Black Panther Party back in the day.

So neither she, nor her kids, will simply take this violent racist/homophobic attack against her baby lying down.

“To this day, Angela Davis is one of her dearest friends.

We’ve spent Mother’s Day with Angela.”..."

"In 1970 Davis was implicated by more than 20 witnesses in a plot to free her imprisoned lover, fellow Black Panther George Jackson, by hijacking a Marin County, California courtroom and taking hostage the judge, the prosecuting assistant district attorney, and two jurors.

In an ensuing gun battle outside the court building, Judge Harold Haley’s head was blown off by a sawed-off shotgun owned by Ms. Davis.

To avoid arrest for her alleged complicity in the plot, Ms. Davis fled California, using aliases and changing her appearance to avoid detection.

Two months later, Davis was arrested by the FBI in New York City."

I would love nothing more than for Smollett staging his crime to be tied to Kamala. Let her presidential aspirations crater as a result, letting people know there is a steep penalty to be paid for propping up bogus claims.

But see, his "pathological craving for sympathy" is unsated.

Therefore, he will do it again. And real harm will result.
