Video: Osundairo brothers buying supplies to stage the Smollett "attack" ~ 'Hail Mary' Phone Call Ends Smollet Case Grand Jury Testimony 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. https://twitter.com/CharlieDeMar/status/1098335299829145600 EXCLUSIVE: Charlie De Mar ✔ @CharlieDeMar EXCLUSIVE: 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. Visited more stores than I wish to admit. @cbschicago https://cbsloc.al/2V70i9h 3:35 PM - Feb 20, 2019 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.) Another possibility: An Anon just pointed this out:  A Plea Deal: Smollett's attorney's offered or accepted a plea deal, like Smollett pleads guilty now, in exchange for (a slap on the wrist (short jail time), pay some fines, etc.).  The plea deal saves the prosecutor time and court costs.  Smollett knew his goose was cooked.  They haven't announced this yet, that it was a plea deal, but it should become clear in the coming days, if this is what happened. UPDATE:  Looks like No Plea Deal!!!  Defense attorneys may have asked for one, but if so, looks like deal was not accepted by Prosecutors.....so case is moving on. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/empire-actor-jussie-smollett-now-classified-as-a-suspect-in-a-criminal-probe-following-attack-claims-chicago-police-say
