Smollett now declared a suspect in the criminal investigation

Surprise, surprise, Chicago law enforcement officials have now officially declared ACTOR Jussie Smollett [aka "Smell It"] to be a suspect, not a victim, in their criminal investigation on Wednesday after he allegedly committed a felony--filing a false police report.

Chicago Police Chief Communications Officer Anthony Guglielmi tweeted:

"Case Update: Jussie Smollett is now officially classified as a suspect in a criminal investigation by #ChicagoPolice for filing a false police report (Class 4 felony). Detectives are currently presenting evidence before a Cook County Grand Jury."

CNN reported: "Chicago detectives investigating an alleged attack on Jussie Smollett are working to obtain the actor's financial records, a high-ranking police source said Wednesday. Smollett's attorneys met with Cook County prosecutors earlier Wednesday, according to Chicago Police spokesman Tom Ahern. But a source close to actor's team told CNN that he has not given police a follow-up interview and no such meeting is scheduled."

This was probably on the advice of his attorneys because if the cops questioned him and he lies, he's in deeper poo.

The case began on January 22, 2019, when the Smollett received a threatening letter at the Fox studio where "Empire" is filmed.

Two brothers, who are believed to have orchestrated the attack on Smollett at Smollett's instruction, claimed that Smollett was also behind sending the threatening letter to himself. This doesn't seem hard to believe at this time and I would go out on a limb and say he's probably in deeper poo than he bargained for--all he wanted was to implicate all white Trump supporters in a hate/homophobic crime and maybe stay on with the show instead of getting written off--but his plan was too "cartoonish," poorly thought out, and too perfect [i.e., too good] to be true.

"The FBI and the US Postal Inspection Service are currently investigating whether Jussie Smollett played a role in sending a threatening letter addressed to him at 'Empire’s' Chicago studio prior to the alleged attack," ABC News reported. "The accusation, made by the two brothers who were persons of interest, has not been confirmed."

CBS News reported Monday that Smollett is thought to have orchestrated the attack on himself because he was miffed that the letter did not get a "bigger reaction."

Interestingly enough, This is not Smollett's first brush with the law. He was arrested in 2007 for a DUI and giving a false report to the police.

TMZ reported over the weekend that Chicago law enforcement officials were suspicious of Smollett's claims from early on in their investigation.
