Video: Osundairo brothers buying supplies to stage the Smollett "attack"
Though this whole thing stank from day 1, you got to hand it to the CPD for finding these two guys and getting them to turn.

I tracked down surveillance of the Osundairo's buying supplies before "attack"
Sources say Jussie Smollet told brothers what to buy.
Countless phone calls placed for this.

WTF Just Happened in the Smollet Case? 'Hail Mary' Phone Call Ends Grand Jury Testimony
https://archive.fo/lG3j3
CBS News has learned that a last-minute phone call may have saved "Empire" star Jussie Smollett from potentially being indicted. Last month, the actor claimed he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack as he walked home in the middle of the night. Two brothers have now told Chicago police Smollett paid them to stage the assault.
A source close to the investigation tells CBS News the brothers were set to appear in front of a grand jury Tuesday. But CBS News correspondent Dean Reynolds reports those plans were abruptly scrapped after a "Hail Mary" call from Smollett's defense team.
The Nigerian brothers Ola and Abel Osundairo were waiting outside the grand jury chambers, just minutes from testifying, when prosecutors got the call from Smollett's lawyers.
It's unclear what the defense said, but the Cook County state's attorney decided to postpone the brothers' testimony, which would have been the first step toward indicting the 36-year-old actor for filing a false police report.
(Attorneys no doubt paid for by yours truly Soros & Co. Attorney's probably made an offer the prosecution couldn't refuse.....like blackmail.)

Thanks for post and updates! Faking terrorist hate crime (the "anthrax" letter), pulling away 20 detectives from REAL crimes...enough is enough with this crap. He needs to go to jail.

Not my area of the expertise, and apologies if my words are not quite right, but I had heard that when groups of criminals are about to be charged, the first to turn 'states evidence' gets the deal....
Could his lawyers have accepted a deal whereby he testifies against the brothers ?

His lawyers should be charged too>> Jussie Smollett had no role in own attack, lawyers say

More likely that Smollett's attorney's offered or accepted a plea deal, like Smollett pleads guilty now, for lesser charges (a slap on the wrist, pay some fines). The plea deal saves the prosecutor court costs. Smollett knew his goose was cooked. They haven't announced this yet, but it should become clear in the coming days.

that would be a nasty thing to do, but if the bruthas are getting good money for the time in prison, it could be considered a fast track to independent wealth for them.

Is the US Postal Inspection Service going to let him get away with it? They started investigating as soon as he reported the letter with the aspirin in it that he sent to himself.

Plea deal?

Yes, good point.

It's probably the 'Godfather Rahm', he found another way to spin this case and shut it down probably due to national security, an imminent threat to our country, freedoms and sovereignty, significant harm to our national identity or some such verbal vomit.
