Zoveelste geval van een hatecrime hoax waarbij trumpsupporters als daders worden aangewezen, en dan afvragen waarom mensen kritisch zijn wanneer er weer eens zo'n verhaal naar buiten komt. Kans is wel heel erg groot dat het een hoax is.

quote:

CHICAGO (CBS) — Jussie Smollett paid two brothers to stage an attack against him, directed them to buy items used in the alleged assault and actually rehearsed it with them, sources say.

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.

The brothers, who were questioned by police this week before being released, were paid $3,500 before leaving for Nigeria and were promised an additional $500 upon their return.

They left for Nigeria later in the day on Jan. 29, after the attack.

Jussie Smollett To Appear Before Grand Jury, Faces Possible Indictment: Report

The ongoing case may be turned against the victim.

Jussie Smollett's hate crime case is reportedly on its way to court next week, according to law enforcement sources who spoke to TMZ. These sources, who are connected to the ongoing investigation, claim the police department is keeping the initial suspects, Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo, within reach in downtown Chicago in efforts to shield them from external influence. Apparently, they insist on blocking any contact between the Osundairo brothers and Smollett.

According to previous reports, the brothers named Smollett as part of the attack's orchestration. Given this development, the measures to keep Smollett from contacting them point to a reversal. While the Chicago Police Department continued to affirm Smollett's treatment as the victim in this case, the Osundairo brothers' testimonies could be leveraged to dismiss the complaint and even lead to Smollett's own indictment for filing a false police report.

If Smollett is found to have fabricated planned the scenario and fabricated his story, he could earn felony charges given the severity of the accusations. The penalties for this kind of false report ranges between probation to a prison sentence between 1 to 10 years. The police have already stated that Smollett would be held accountable if required.

Police are said to have found torn magazines in the brother's homes, which could account for the threatening letters sent to Jussie 8 days before the attack, along with other evidence. The Osundairos were arrested shortly after the raid but later released without charges.

Sources say the brothers purchased the rope that was tied around Smollett's neck. There is no video footage to prove this purchase because the surveillance footage is automatically purged after one week.

This comes after reports of Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo admitting to rehearsing the attack with the Empire actor and accepting a payment of $3,500 of the promised $4,000 to follow-through with the attack.

Z'n manager bevestigde het verhaal van Smollet dat hij met hem aan de telefoon was tijdens de attack dus er gaan hier nog meer koppen rollen. Benieuwd of het verhaal uiteindelijk bij Kamala Harris uit komt.

Deze domme actie van Smollett wakkert homohaat aan en drijft meer mensen richting Donald Trump. Veel dommer kun je je niet manifesteren.

Letter containing white powder sent to 'Empire' set days before Jussie Smollett attack

(CNN) A letter containing a white powder was sent to the Chicago set of "Empire" days before one of the show's stars, Jussie Smollett, was allegedly attacked by two men on January 29.

Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told CNN that the letter, received on January 22 at Cinespace Studios, where the show is filmed, prompted a response from the HAZMAT unit.

Guglielmi said authorities determined the powder to be aspirin, but declined to give details on the content of the letter.

The FBI is leading the investigation into the letter, he added.

A spokesperson for 20th Century Fox Entertainment, which produces the series, declined to comment when reached by CNN. [...]

De politie had Smollett gevraagd naar zijn telefoon om na te kunnen kijken of het verhaal klopte dat hij tijdens de aanval zijn manager aan de lijn had, maar Smollett weigerde zijn telefoon af te geven uit privacy overwegingen.

Vervolgens gaf Smollett een spreadsheet met nummers en tijden dat er gebeld is. De politie was ook niet achterlijk en heeft de gegevens bij Smolletts provider opgevraagd en daarna de twee lijstjes naast elkaar gelegd. Toen bleek dat er verschillen waren tussen de twee lijstjes, was het vervolgens heel simpel de nummers na te trekken die niet op Smolletts lijstje stonden en dat waren gesprekken met de twee Nigeriaanse broers.

Sommigen hadden nog de optie open gehouden dat hij inderdaad mishandeld was en dat het hate-crime gebeuren later pas als bijkomend voordeel gebruikt kon worden. Maar nu blijkt dat dit alles een vooropgezette hoax was.
