Shockingly, despite being let off the hook, Jussie Smollett’s still having trouble convincing some people that he didn’t just make the whole “hate crime” thing up. Maybe this will finally prove that he’s “truthful on every level”:
Jussie Smollett's lawyer has said that he told police the Nigerian brothers who attacked him were white because they could have been wearing make-up https://t.co/f5ptKkgcpb

Jussie Smollett’s Attorney: Nigerian Brothers May Have Been Wearing Whiteface During Attack https://t.co/6I1EG6vkrM pic.twitter.com/0xB1hrv0J2

More from Mediaite:
“He only saw one of the attackers. One of them he didn’t see. He saw one through a ski mask,” [Tina] Glandian said. “Again, he could not see their body. Everything was covered, and he had a full ski mask on except the area around the eyes.”
“He did tell police that he — from what we saw, he thought it was pale skin or white or pale skin, was I think what he said,” she added. “And that was what he — and that’s why he initially did have a hard time.”
Glandian continued by suggesting Osundairo brothers had worn whiteface in the past — during a skit as The Joker from Batman in clown makeup — and may have done it again.
Watch:
Jussie Smollett’s attorney went on national TV and suggested, with a straight face, that the Nigerian bothers might have worn “whiteface” when they “attacked” Smollett.pic.twitter.com/l6wLH6CqtA

Well, if there’s a more plausible theory than that, we sure can’t think of one!
Well this changes everything…

Wait … are you suggesting that Glandian’s theory is B.S.? Because that’s unpossible. Smollett’s attorneys have been consummate professionals and serious people throughout this entire spectacle and would never put forth anything but the truth.

Ha!
In all seriousness, though, this is just the latest in a long line of pathetic and blatant dishonesty from Smollett’s legal team. They’ve made it perfectly clear that they’ll stop at nothing to throw the Osundairo brothers under the bus in order to save Smollett’s skin.
Remember when Smollett agreed to testify against two innocent men before he learned they were the Nigerian brothers he hired to fake the attack? This guy has zero qualms ruining other people's lives for his own benefit. Sociopathic. https://t.co/mwgsqlKYIL

But be sure and save a little extra shaming for the national media who worked so hard to make all of this possible.

Update:
Via @JerylBier this is the "whiteface" video that Jussie Smollett's attorney says shows they were masters of disguise: https://t.co/230OfqmuYC

A few people are having trouble seeing the video (it still works for me and others). For those who can't see it, here's a screenshot: pic.twitter.com/mkJlK2pUOa

Wow, if we didn’t know any better, we’d swear that was a white guy!
Jussie Smollett, seeing this on Twitter, probably: "That's him! That's the white dude in the MAGA hat who tried to kill me!" https://t.co/QD2HteaFpr
