She should be fired immediately and an investigation launched. It is an account of how Foxx was contacted in the Smollett case by a politically connected lawyer close to Chicago’s most prominent political families, the Obamas and Emanuels. That lawyer, Tina Tchen, was chief of staff for former first lady Michelle Obama, and she is a friend of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s wife, Amy Rule. Tchen was apparently a go-between for someone in the Smollett family. There was literally an “omg” moment in the texts, because Foxx did what was asked of her: She lobbied Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson to drop the Smollett case and push it over to the FBI. State’s Attorney Kim Foxx asked Chicago’s top cop to turn Jussie Smollett probe over to FBI, texts and emails show She did so as Smollett’s heroic story — that he was the victim of a hate crime committed by supporters of President Donald Trump — was being unraveled by Chicago detectives. So how should Foxx plead on this one? Does she plead stupidity, and say she was blinded by political lights, by someone close to the Obamas, and say she lost her way and would like to beg mercy? Would Foxx ever give a Chicago police officer that kind of break? No. Most cops would laugh if you asked them that. “Spoke to the Superintendent Johnson,” Foxx said in an email to Tchen on Feb. 1 obtained by reporters. “I convinced him to Reach out to FBI to ask that they take over the investigation.” That day, Foxx texted a Smollett relative. “Spoke to the superintendent earlier, he made the ask,” Foxx wrote. “Trying to figure out logistics. I’ll keep you posted.” “Omg this would be a huge victory,” the Smollett relative replied. “I make no guarantees, but I’m trying,” Foxx replied. “I understand,” the Smollett relative typed. “I appreciate the effort.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's Obama Central and the FBI's name isn't to be associated with integrity for now. When it became obvious the Chicago police were going to actually investigate it, the Smollett's and others wanted Foxx to pull the plug on it. Only after it became clear the police wouldn't turn over to FBI, only then did Foxx recuse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLLD 3,455 Posted March 26, 2019 Quote "After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollett’s volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case," according to a statement from the office of the Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx, sent to USA TODAY by her spokeswoman, Tandra Simonton. Simonton said the $10,000 bond money that Smollett is forfeiting will be given to the city. One of the penalties for filing a false police report, if there is a conviction, includes paying for the police costs of investigating a false crime report. Smollett's legal team also issued a statement, stressing that the charges against him were dropped, and not because of a plea deal. Link He bought his way out of it, ok, whatever. Just so long as we dont have to pretend that actual systemic racism is still a real thing, or that white privilege is a real focking thing, or that hte justice system is more hurtful to AA's.....none of that ignorant BS should be allowed on this one at least...

DonS 3,063 Posted March 26, 2019 Ironically enough while waiting for the bus this morning there was a black lady there with her little dog. Dog came up and sniffed at me - - probably because of my dogs at home - - so I patted his head and smiled at the lady. She was well dressed and friendly. Then I noticed a big white button on her jacket screaming WHITE LIES MATTER. Fock you lady. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the biggest piece of it. Until he does a press conference and admits the whole thing, he is still a victim of a hate crime. People will see charges were dropped and assume hes innocent.
