It seems the “People in High Places” that got this criminal prosecution squashed just might be Jesse Jackson,.,I think he was just a useful idiot. He gave Smollet something to do that amounted to “community service”. Smollet was friends with the Obamas and Kamala Harris. Who backed the Prosecutor’s campaign with Soros money. This arrogant act came from the very top.

Kimberly M. Foxx
Kimberly M. Foxx is the first African American woman to lead the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office – the second largest prosecutor’s office in the country. Kim took office on December 1, 2016 with a vision for transforming the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office into a fairer, more forward-thinking agency focused on rebuilding the public trust, promoting transparency, and being proactive in making all communities safe.
More than two years into her term, Kim has undertaken substantial reform. She has revamped the office’s Conviction Integrity Unit, resulting in overturned convictions in over 60 cases, including the first-ever mass exoneration in Cook County for 15 men whose convictions stemmed from misconduct by a Chicago Police Officer. She has been a leader in bond reform, instructing prosecutors to agree to recognizance bonds where appropriate, and reviewing bond decisions in cases where people are detained because they are unable to pay bonds of $1,000 or less. Kim has taken the lead on prioritizing resources away from low-level offenses to focus on violent crime, including raising the threshold for approving felony charges for retail theft to $1,000, and declining to prosecute misdemeanor traffic offenses for failure to pay tickets and fines.
Kim is the first and only prosecutor in the country to make felony case-level data available to the public. The open data portal provides unprecedented access and transparency into the work of a prosecutor’s office. Her goal is to make the Cook County the most transparent prosecutor’s office in the country.
Kim served as an Assistant State’s Attorney for 12 years, and was also a guardian ad litem, where she worked as an attorney advocating for children navigating the child welfare system. Prior to being elected State’s Attorney, Kim served as Chief of Staff for the Cook County Board President, where she was the lead architect of the county’s criminal justice reform agenda to address racial disparities in the criminal and juvenile justice systems.
Born and raised on Chicago’s Near North Side, Kim is a graduate of Southern Illinois University, where she earned a B.A. in Political Science and a J.D. from the SIU School of Law.
Is the Fix in for Smollett ??????

Isn’t there something called “Prosecutorial Missconduct”?
Perhaps the Feds should look into this.

George Soros Spent $408k on Kim Foxx, Prosecutor in Jussie Smollett Case
Left-wing billionaire mega-donor George Soros donated $408,000 in 2016 to a super PAC that supported Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, whose office prosecuted — and dropped — the Jussie Smollett case.

I was kind of taken back by the responses of the Mayor and Police Chief Originally Posted by TheDaliLamaLet the left keep doing what they are doing. They are getting comfortable, really comfortable, with getting away with whatever. Average folks are starting to see the dark underbelly of the left. The tide is turning. I can sense it.
I think Rahm and the Chief sense it too. The low I.Q. state attorney may be a bit slow on the uptake. She still thinks O-bum-a is still running the show. She and others will soon be in for a rude awakening, me thinks.

Wrong color Ese.
On Tucker tonight he discussed with a Chicago cop how the Fed might be able to get involved via the fake threatening letter Smollet sent to himself. Originally Posted by gnadfly

“Chicago police allege…when that letter didn’t get enough traction or enough attention, he decided to carry out with this alleged hoax. If the FBI determines that Jussie Smollett did send that letter to himself, he faces a charge of mail fraud, which is pretty substantial. Five to ten years in prison. Chicago police did tell us all along that the FBI is investigating that letter. The FBI just won’t confirm to us.”

no county DA is gonna run the Feds off. Foxx cut this deal precisely because the Federal case is still open and out of her authority by a mile to influence. She hopes her deal will make the DOJ/FBI follow suit. Good luck with that sweetpea.
