For him there is still the problem of the “threatening letter”. That is a felony at the federal level which is looking more and more like he had a hand in. Easy way for the locals to reduce their charge and “bump it upstairs” staying out of political bullshit in this particular case. Think those investigators wanted to be in the middle of this bullshit?

Some info backing up your comment:
Smollett threat letter called “enormous mistake”; Purported attack location identified; Federal charges “certain”

From Link:
Headed by the FBI’s Chicago Field Office, the terroristic threat investigation is being assisted by one of America’s oldest and most underestimated law enforcement agencies: The United States Postal Inspection Service.
Meanwhile, the FBI and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service has been quietly working on the origins of Smollett’s letter for nearly a month. Giving it far more “attention” than he knew.
Late Monday, CWBChicago received confirmation that the letter case has been before a federal grand jury and multiple subpoenas have been generated over the course of the investigation.
A law firm partner who asked not to be identified by name spoke with us about the federal problems ahead for whoever mailed the letter: “If they have Smollett on the letter, he’ll be facing ’terroristic hoax’ charges, a felony. There may be federal obstruction charges as well.”
All in all, the federal legal options are numerous: “If they want to bury him, they can.”
I doubt it. Look, I think this should be covered under a blanket civil rights violation.
I don’t care who winds up going after the guy, but I do think he should do some stiff time over it. I’d like the charges ad guilty verdict to indicate the seriousness of what he did.
The whole thing should wind up letting liars know, there’s going to be stiff penalties for this sort of thing from now on.
Letter is with fbi at their lab.
