“Big problem for Smollett when the Postal Service investigatory unit got involved.“
Those people are very, very good at their jobs. And they have no sense of humor about stunts like this. I believe they are a separate Agency so the FBI won’t have a lot of pull when it comes to whether or not to prosecute.
From Wikipedia:
As fact-finding and investigative agents, Postal Inspectors are sworn federal law enforcement officers who carry firearms, make arrests and serve federal search warrants and subpoenas. Inspectors work closely with U.S. Attorneys, other law enforcement agencies, and local prosecutors to investigate postal cases and prepare them for court.
Smollet is screwed. He’s looking at some serious hard time.
