His high-powered attorney apparently has just jumped ship

100% he concocted this plan himself.
The motive was a letter Fox studios received weeks earlier that Smollett felt didn't garner a reaction or any attention, so he then concocted this plan and even rehearsed it. Career suicide here unfolding right before our very eyes. What a fucking scumbag, and ofc it was "MAGA" people.
100% career suicide right here by one dumb motherfucker!
They are already reducing his role in Empire. Why don't they just fire him? https://deadline.com/2019/02/jussie-...sy-1202560053/
CBS Chicago stated the obvious, that the police has acknowledged that the threatening letter he received was sent by him: https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2019/02...others-attack/
Supposedly Jussie thought the letter would be a huge deal and would get him a bunch of attention. When it was largely dismissed and got no play in the press, he concocted the attack.
Why were so many people on the left so stupid to believe the initial story? No part of it was ever believable.
The below rant by Ellen Page did not age very well.
tmz put a bow on this like yesterday:
Jussie Smollett rehearsed the "attack" against him days before the incident and it was all staged for the camera, this according to what the 2 brothers told cops.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Abel and Ola Osundairo told cops they got in a car with Jussie and scouted a location, settling on the one right outside the actor's apartment. The brothers said Jussie chose the spot because he believed a camera would have captured the action.
Our sources say the brothers told police Jussie said he wanted to make it a "physical thing," but not to the point he'd be seriously injured.
On the night Jussie says he was attacked, the brothers claim they showed up at the scene but were extremely nervous because, just as they played out the scene, a car drove by and they were worried they'd be ID'd.
Our sources say the brothers performed per the rehearsal -- they screamed out they recognized Jussie from "Empire" and then hurled the racist n-word and the homophobic f-word.
The brothers told cops they "made contact with Jussie's face" but it was "weak." They said they didn't know how he suffered the bruises but the staged fight was not designed to injure him.
TMZ broke the story ... when cops arrived, Jussie took them down to the area he said the "attack" went down and pointed to the camera, saying it was good the incident was captured on video. What he didn't know was that the camera was pointed in the wrong direction and didn't capture the incident.

This entire incident makes a very strong case that most criminals are simply not very smart or good at what they do.
If you're going to stage a hate crime against yourself, you couldn't do much of a worse job than this.
Jussie is going to prison for quite a while
And it's beautiful
I’m kind of shocked the Nigerians didn’t just beat him to death and start living in his apartment and driving his car.
And if his whole plan just worked and his career took off, did he think they wouldn’t shake him down until the end of time?
Most criminals? You mean the ones that are caught?
This uhhhh person set back liberal causes a month.
I was all over the kids in the MAGA hats. I felt it became viral before media. Then media covered it because it was so strong of imagery even if misleading because it had already shot all over social media. I never heard about this Smollet shit until I started hearing rightwing friends talk about the media etc. LOL. Not sure why that is.. It did expose a lot of dumb hollywood types for being dumb.
It is all dumb tribal shit TBH. All these people getting worked up over this from either side are quite biased even though almost none of them realizse it.
