Holy moly … looks like Jussie Smollett might want to chat with Chicago Police sooner rather than later. That way, he might at least have a shot at some kind of deal.

CBS Chicago reporter Charlie De Mar has just shared this footage allegedly depicting the Osundairo brothers purchasing supplies like those used in the “hate crime” against Smollett:

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://t.co/GT6h2g6Y9a pic.twitter.com/ULr3UTDe9Q — Charlie De Mar (@CharlieDeMar) February 20, 2019

Here’s a larger version of the video:

It’s not looking good for Smollett at all.

Kudos to De Mar, though. Like fellow Chicago reporter Rob Elgas, De Mar’s really done stellar reporting in the Smollett case.

The Guardians of Truth have a lot to learn from journalists like De Mar.

Actual journalism these days is so refreshing to see. Good job. — Some random thoughts (@someideasnstuff) February 20, 2019

If only every journalist could do the work those do in Chicago. https://t.co/G0SQbz6rVs — Anthony Bialy (@AnthonyBialy) February 20, 2019

Update:

More on the brothers from Rob Elgas:

Now would probably be a good time to go make that popcorn …
