    Looking like it was all a staged 'false flag' operation:

    Two Nigerian immigrants to be charged for Jussie Smollett 'hate crime'

    "... Recent developments in the case have suggested that the Empire actor staged his own assault with the help of two others in a desperate attempt to stay relevant as his character was possibly being written off the show...."

    "...the home of the two "persons of interests" in the widely circulated community alert was raided by Chicago police. In that raid, they seized a list of items including multiple containers of bleach, a "red hat," an Empire script, a Mossberg rifle, and two computers. The home is occupied by the two men, and at least one is an extra on Jussie Smollett's show, Empire. The pair left for their home country of Nigeria immediately after the "attack."…"

    "...Sources close to Chicago reporters have said the police were able to crack the case after their request for Smollett's call log was denied by the actor. They subpoenaed the phone records instead and continued to publicly treat Smollett as a victim of a hate crime. When he finally turned over a PDF file of his call log nearly two weeks later, investigators were able to examine which calls the actor omitted compared to their own official copy. His own tampering with the call log helped police narrow down which calls were important and who might have assisted in the hoax...."

    "...It's not clear whether Smollett was even attacked. If he was assaulted at the hands of co-conspirators from his own show or if he was attacked randomly (not an unlikely scenario in Chicago) and used it as an opportunity to promote his anti-Trump rhetoric, he has lied and opened himself up to criminal charges.

    The mainstream media are just much as to blame and acted every part of the accomplices. They used an uncorroborated story and pushed it as if it were real and used it to crucify American culture. They used phrases like "epidemic of hate crimes" and emotionally charged language to make claims about all Trump-supporters that were always unsubstantiated.

    This is only the most highly publicized hate crime hoax since Trump was elected president. Breitbart keeps a running list of over a hundred others, and most of the perpetrators claimed to have done it to "raise awareness of issues in this country."..."

    "...Jussie Smollett has made what fame he had by being a social justice warrior, staunchly opposed to President Trump and creating an identity all about standing up to racism. I imagine he dealt with a real assault to his worldview when all these MAGA hat-wearing bigots never actually materialized. He could have re-evaluated his own misaligned beliefs, but instead, he manufactured a fake hate crime in order to validate the idea that American culture is still battling a racist front.

    Jussie Smollett; countless celebrities; and the mainstream news, which propagated this hoax as if it were true, have done more to divide Americans along racial lines than the people they are supposedly against. The demand for racism has far outpaced the supply, so radicals like Smollett now use homemade alternatives.

    Smollett once tweeted, "Frauds are everywhere." I couldn't agree more."

    Some are saying that the Chicago Police knew from the beginning that it was a hoax. There are just not that many white guys in MAGA baseball hats running around a black gay neighborhood in 20 below weather saying that that area is Trump country. Also, there was a lot of video of the neighborhood and the streets were essentially empty because of cold weather. Also, almost no white guys ever watch Empire or had the slightest idea who this guy is.

    I especially liked the final comments:

The demand for racism has far outpaced the supply, so radicals like Smollett now use homemade alternatives.

    They've been manufacturing this "racism" for years. The real racism is almost always aimed the opposite direction. The supposed anti-racists are the ones full of hate and violence.

    I'd never heard of Jussie or that show, either until this incident.

    You;d think he'd at least try to make a better hoax, as someone else here has said, it was implausible from the get go. Chicago can't solve over half of their crime cases and spent all this time on this crazy actor and his lies. I hope they do a plea with the Nigerians to go after Jussie.

    It's simple economics. We appear to have a lack of racists, so the market supplied a solution.

    I'm certain that libs will look the other way because the cause is so important a little fraud is acceptable to keep the problem in the public eye.

    Looks like the case is being submitted to a Grand Jury, so this is now as serious as something can be.
