And the popo will negotiate with his legal beagles to arrange appropriate surrender. For a felony, wait until Roger Stone sees this.

Yeah, why aren't 20 SWAT guys raiding his house? From the LE statements during the Stone arrest, that's SOP.

... and Smollett has been charged:

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/empire-actor-jussie-smollett-now-classified-as-a-suspect-in-a-criminal-probe-following-attack-claims-chicago-police-say

Quote
Authorities in Chicago on Wednesday approved felony criminal charges against "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett, hours after he was "officially classified as a suspect in a criminal investigation" for allegedly "filing a false police report" in connection with his Jan. 29 attack claims, police said.

The update in the case was provided by the department's Chief of Communications Officer Anthony Guglielmi on Twitter, who said the Cook County State's Attorney's Office approved the "Disorderly Conduct / Filing a False Police Report" charges.

"Detectives will make contact with his legal team to negotiate a reasonable surrender for his arrest," he continued.

So far, Smollet has not surrendered, Chicago police told Fox News. His attorneys were made aware of the charges.

Per previous posts in this thread: no Roger Stone scenario, apparently.

In other news, Smollett has turned himself in.

https://abc7chicago.com/jussie-smollett-in-custody-after-being-charged-with-disorderly-conduct/5148577/

Someone please refresh my memory -- when this all started, didn't Smollett initially report that the attackers were white males wearing ski masks? If my recollection is correct, why is it that none of the media outlets have commented on the change in color of the alleged assailants? All the articles I read now just say that Smollett claims he was attacked by two males wearing ski masks.

I think they'll use some kind of psychological (TDS) defense. I only say that after yesterday having read a list of his past twitter rants against Trump. Angry and threatening. VERY angry and threatening.

There will be multiple delays in the trial, it will become old news, something big will happen that dominates the news cycle and there will quickly be a plea bargain and sentencing to community service that won’t be reported in the msm due to the big story.

After his story completely fell apart, with evidence showing he sent the letter himself and hired two brothers (of Nigerian descent) to attack him, on Wednesday evening the news broke that Smollet would be charged. CNN's Don Lemon, whose show airs at 10 p.m. eastern, had a meltdown and proclaimed this isn't Smollet's fault. Further, Lemon's biggest concern seems to be the reaction from Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson.

It appears that we now HAVE the facts. Facts are what grand juries look at before deciding whether or not to hand down indictments.

"Just the circumstances and the way he told the story, and what he said happened to him sort of fit in with a -- not a narrative, but a reality for a lot of people in this country since President Trump was inaugurated, that there is an atmosphere of menace and an atmosphere of hate around the country that made it possible for people to either readily believe or want to believe Jussie Smollett. But on the other hand, at the same time, there were people who immediately thought something was fishy," he said.
