In addition to her claim they could have been wearing "whiteface" (is that a thing!?), she said this:

On Thursday, Glandian made even more previously unheard claims including that it was Abel, one of the brothers, who told Smollett to go out at 2am and get food.

Smollett claimed on television and in police records that he went to Subway for a tuna salad because he was hungry and there was no food at home.

But Glandian said on Thursday he had been told by Abel to eat 'four eggs', as part of his nutrition plan, and had none in the house.

'He had to eat four eggs so he said I don't think I have any. I'll have to run out and get some,' she said.

Will be interesting to see if anyone corroborates this, like the taxis they took there and back or the brothers themselves. Their house was raided, surely they should have come across a lot of heavy duty makeup. They were caught on several cameras from what we know also.

When will his team learn to just shut up, this kind of rubbish does not make him look any better.

OMG, you simply cannot make this stuff up. Only in America.

 

[cybervampira]

The real question is: how can his attorneys talk such a load of BS without collapsing into laughter and wetting themselves?

Loose lips sink ships. That’s the best we can hope for at this point ...

My contacts over at #CPD say they have no knowledge of an @FBIChicago investigation into SA Kim Foxx’s handling of #JussieSmollett case. That doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

FBI Chicago itself could be part of the investigation. It would seem like they should be investigated with the big push by those involved in this to get it turned over to them.

Charles Barkley Says Jussie Smollett Screwed 'Real' Hate Crime Victims

Feb 21, 2019

Smollett, who is openly gay, had alleged that two masked men attacked him at 2 a.m. on Jan. 29 as he was walking home from a Subway restaurant in Chicago.

He claimed that the men shouted racial and anti-gay slurs at him, poured a substance on him, threw a rope around his neck and shouted, "This is MAGA country!"

After reviewing surveillance footage, two brothers were arrested and released without charges.

Police say the investigation shifted after they questioned the brothers. Authorities said Thursday that Smollett spoke to two brothers an hour before and an hour after he says they helped the actor stage last month's attack, for which Smollett allegedly paid them $3,500 by check.

Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said police found the "check that [Smollett] used to pay [two brothers]" to fake the beating, adding he paid them $3,500 "for the two of them in total, and then $500 upon return."

He said the attack "was staged, the brothers had on gloves during the (air quotes) 'staged attack' where they punched him a little, but as far as we can tell, the scratching and bruising that you saw on [Smollett's] face was most likely self-inflicted.”

Smollett, who has a record — one that concerns giving false information to police when he was pulled over on suspicion of driving under the influence. According to records, he was also charged with false impersonation and driving without a license. He later pleaded no contest to a reduced charge and took an alcohol education and treatment program.

Chicago police blast Jussie Smollett 'phony attack': 'Bogus police reports cause real harm'

I know JS refused to turn his cell phone over to police or even let them look at it in his presence, but do we know if LE subpeoned his cell phone records?

Although I'm sure a lot was learned about his hoax from the 2 brothers phones who fully cooperated with LE.

Anyone have any idea why JS refused to turnover his cell?

Maybe he also has high profile contacts on his phone that he was in contact with as soon as he had made his false accusations that he didn't want LE to know about.

Or even texts, and calls made BEFORE he even carried it out? Possible contacts before, and after who he wanted to be kept a secret from the police?

At first I did give JS every benefit that he was being truthful. I wanted to believe so badly he was telling the truth.

At that time, I couldnt imagine anyone making up these specific detailed claims when they had to know how dangerous it could have turned out, especially when he knew he had been given a national platform that went worldwide, more than anyone I can remember in recent memory.

But one thing I kept having major struggles with was his constant refusal to turnover his phone.

I don't think I can remember another 'victim' refusing to fully cooperate with LE in anyway they possibly could to find the suspects. So the benefit I had so wanted to give Jussie at first began eroding away, and it only got worse.

His interview with Robyn was bizarre. The way he talked, very relaxed. his mannerisms showed he wasn't someone who had suffered any recent trauma.

Imo. It was a very poor acting performance.

He had to pretend to know how it felt to go through something like this, and because he has no clue, it was an epic failure, and the reason it came across as odd, and unbelievable..

I have never heard of this kind of special treatment for possible suspects.

"The heavily redacted reports blacked out the names of Abimbola Osundairo and Olabinjo Osundairo, but the context makes it clear that the brothers were put up from Feb. 15 to Feb. 21 at the Chicago South Loop Hotel near the city's McCormick Place convention center. Police paid for the hotel and the security. "Assistance for food and incidentals were also provided," one report said.

Police met with the men at the hotel, stopped at restaurants to get meals for them and drove the pair and their attorney to court, taking them into the courthouse through a back entrance to avoid the media, according to the reports."

I highly admire Charles Barkley for always being brutally honest whether others want to hear the truth or not.

I certainly agree with him on this subject as well.

I have seen the police do the very same thing when they are key witnesses in any case.

It makes me wonder if they may have feared for the safety of the 2 brothers at the time

I actually think when anyone makes a HATE crime false claim the hoax itself should be classified as a hate crime as well.

In this case JS specifically targeted a specific race, and a specific political group to spew his false hate crime against.

When anyone purposefully, falsely targets a particular race, gender,or any political party, then that IS committing a hate crime against those people. Imo

That was JSs intentions all along when doing this hateful hoax.

JS was wanting others to hate white men specifically who wear MAGA hats, and one political party.

How is that not a specifically targeted hate crime?

It shouldn't matter if it was a hoax, although that is even more reprehensible within itself.

Imo, but what is more important was JSs motivation behind his false claims, and his preplanned intents on who he planned to target.

He willfully perpetrated this hate crime against innocent people, intentionally. Imo, in order to bring hate, and divisiveness against this particular race, gender, and when he targeted one specific political party.

Imo not only is he guilty of the 16 felonies, but he is also guilty of committing a hate crime himself. IMOO A very dangerous hate accusation against these particular people as well.

And tragically he was given a national platform for weeks to continue his hate tirade.

Imo

Yes! Very well said. He burned everyone. He could have brought more awareness to the gay, minority community, yet he chose to perpetrate this absurd, despicable hate crime hoax. By blaming two white men, screaming MAGA Country, he most definitely perpetuated hate and divisiveness. Why a gay, black man would create an elaborate hate crime hoax is beyond comprehension. IMO

AFRICA is a continent

There are 54 separate countries in Africa.

There is an enormous diversity of people, of plants, of animals and birds, of reptiles and insects on this continent.

Far, far more so than in the North and South Americas combined

Lol.

Nowadays we have to deny things we see with our own eyes and hear with our own ears.
