TMZ reporting Smollett case going to a Grand Jury early next week

Take it with a grain of salt since their reporting has been kind of shoddy on this case, but you got to figure Jussie's time is running out:

A grand jury will hear the Jussie Smollett case early next week ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
Law enforcement sources connected to the investigation tell TMZ, the 2 brothers who were arrested and then released are staying somewhere around the Loop in downtown Chicago under the watchful eye of police so no one gets to them. We're told cops especially want to make sure Jussie does not contact the brothers.
We're told when police raided the home of the 2 brothers they found magazines with pages torn out, and authorities are now trying to determine if the missing pages are connected to the threatening letter that was sent to Jussie 8 days before the alleged attack.
Our sources say early on they asked Jussie if he'd sign complaints against the 2 men who attacked him and he was clear that he would. But, when he found out the 2 brothers were the ones in custody we're told he said he knew them, felt bad for them and declined to sign the complaints.
Our sources say although cops believe the brothers purchased the rope that was around Jussie's neck after the incident, there is no surveillance video at the hardware store because it erases after a week.
We're told the way they tracked the 2 brothers down was by their movements in arriving and leaving the scene around Jussie's apartment building. As we reported, they left in either a cab or an Uber, but we're told cops tracked the vehicle and the 2 brothers got out on their way home and into another vehicle. As one source put it, "It was almost like a bad spy movie."
The sources say there were red flags from the get-go. Cops were extremely suspicious when Jussie took them out to the area where he said he was attacked and pointed to an obscure camera saying how happy he was that the attack was on video. Turns out the camera was pointing in the wrong direction. Cops thought it was weird he knew the location of that camera.

If the Nigerians didn't hit, you must acquit

If they can tie the missing magazine pages, then there is a making terroristic threat charge. Far more serious than filing a fraudulent police report.

Rahm will make it all go away. I don't think the ploy was suppose to be exposed.

Grand Jury for this bullshite? This sounds like a DA seeking political cover, like Hiller Moore punting the Jordan Jefferson bar fight to the Grand Jury.

That slap on the wrist he's got coming will be the only beating he will have received. Besides butt play of course.

So he would’ve “signed a complaint” about two innocent people if they grabbed two other guys instead?
Posted on 2/17/19 at 7:21 pm to Contra
If they are rushing it through like this with recent revelations then they are going for a no bill, assuming that the indictment is aimed at Smollett.

Wonder when Jussie is found dead under mysterious circumstances?
That boy better watch his arse (no pun).

Guessing it will go to the Frds. Rahm wouldn't have a say. Used Federal mail to make a terror threat, comolete with white powder

He said his attackers were white.
How can anyone believe a word he is saying

Like someone in the OT thread said, the prosecutor can mail it in and the grand jury can say there isn't enough evidence to proceed.
What charges do they think will be brought

Illinois can prosecute him for filing a false police report (class 4 felony which carries 1-3 years in prison and a maximum $25,000 fine), plus obstruction of justice and any other process crimes that may have been committed.
