Despite the hate crime hoax charges against him being stunningly dropped on Tuesday, “Empire” star Jussie Smollett may not be out of the woods just yet.
An investigation into a death threat letter the actor supposedly received prior to the alleged Jan. 29 attack has been handed over to the FBI, Chicago Police spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi told Fox News.
Smollett initially had been suspected as the source of the letter.
“The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is working closely with our law enforcement partners on this investigation,” the U.S. Postal Service said in a statement to Fox News. “We are unable to provide any additional comment at this time.”
Chicago cops previously said Smollett allegedly resorted to staging the "bogus" attack after the threatening letter he sent himself at his Chicago Fox studio two weeks earlier didn't garner enough attention.
"If he mailed that threatening letter to himself by using the post office, he engaged in postal fraud. That's five to 10 years in jail — that's three times what he's facing for filing a false report if the feds want to go there," Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano said.

Watch the ‘letter’ get mysteriously shredded.
Looking at the hoax letter. It has the earmarks of someone who is a schizophrenic.
Oh yeah, that looks totally legit. /s
you know.....it kinda hurts me in a way...but reality (history) repeats itself in the form of humor.....
The Keystone Cops are alive and well....
The return address is MAGA. smh.
LOL - Possibly the worst hoax I’ve ever seen.
Well, there was the girl that got the “B” backwards....because she was using a mirror....LOL
Sounds like obstruction of justice and collusion by Democrats.
“Transferring the case from Chicago/Illinois over to the FBI is not necessarily good news for Jussie. However, it is good news for the left. “
That’s why I think Obama’s Chicago Democrats did it.
The presence of two different hoaxes points to acting with malice. If foisting a fraud upon the public is legal we’ve got a problem in the laws that needs fixing.
But I’d guess the original 16 felony counts were at least somewhat legit and based in law.
Is that the same FBI that let Hillary off, and her little helpers Cheryl and Huma too?
“Most of us would be facing hard time with 16 felonies. Justice is a bitch.”
And doesn’t he also have previous convictions?
Exactly. The politicized fbi will make this disappear.
JoMa
yeah, whole lot of confidence in this keystone cop outfit,.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Kamala Harris’ fingerprints were on that letter.
They are. She’s involved in this. I’d bet on it.
Even flaming idiots can have low friends in high places.
You've captured the essence of Jussie Smollett and his friends. Great one mewzilla...
“I wouldn’t be surprised if Kamala Harris’ fingerprints were on that letter”
I don’t think that she can color that well.
Assume for the sake of the discussion that all of the parties involved are as corrupt as they can be.
What we are left with is a circular firing squad of corrupt, incompetent liberals.
It will be interesting to see who takes out whom.

The best justice money, power, and corruption can buy.
