Soros-backed Kim Foxx, who got Jussie Smollett off the hook, gives herself the hook

The Chicago prosecutor, Kim Foxx, who received millions of Soros funding said on Tuesday that she'll not seek re-election next year. 

Foxx [who is anything but] became Cook County, IL state's attorney in 2016 and is best known for her hands-off law enforcement, and for allowing Jussie Smollett, a gay black actor, to avoid any serious consequences regarding the racist hoax he created, after she had the charges dropped.

You may remember how Smollett paid two Nigerian individuals to "attack" him in the middle of the night during a polar vortex in the streets of Chicago after he went out to a Subway restaurant for a sandwich. He was supposedly attacked by two white men in red hats with rope and bleach yelling, "This is MAGA country!" and put the rope around his neck, allegedly doused him with bleach, and off they went.

Smollett went home with the rope still around his neck and his sandwich intact, called police and told the story to them about the "two white men." He kept the rope around his neck, by the way.

It turns out that Smollett had hired two Nigerian brothers who were bodybuilders, to carry out his hoax. A grand jury later indicted him on six counts of disorderly conduct over the false reports to the Chicago PD.

He served less than a week in jail and still pretended the story he made up was true, as he cried us a river on television.

When Foxx won the campaign and began serving the criminal elements of Chicago, Soros had slipped her campaign $400,000 to help the cause.

Later, in 2020, Soros, a devout anti-America socialist, provided $2 million to a committee backing her re-election efforts against three Democratic challengers, one of which received a massive funding boost from their wealthy father.

Soros has backed dozens of far-left prosecutor candidates as part of his efforts to destroy the criminal justice system. Foxx was among the most visible leftists. Some of the others he backed are Kim Gardner in St. Louis, George Gascón in Los Angeles, and Larry Krasner in Philadelphia. 

The candidates Soros supports all oppose cash bail, favor anemic law enforcement, and back "restorative justice" initiatives which push to refuse charging minors who commit serious crimes, as adults. 

The cities in which Soros supported prosecutors preside are cities where crime thrives and where people seek to leave.

The Chicago Tribune first reported Tuesday afternoon that Foxx would not seek re-election next year. But don't worry, Chicago is about as "MAGA country" as Saudi Arabia is a Jewish State. It will very likely be electing another Democrat next year, and crime will very likely continue at the same pace.

Chicago prosecutor resigns, blasts Kim Foxx

An Illinois prosecutor blasted Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx in his office-wide resignation letter. He said that Foxx cares more about political narratives than victims of crime.

Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Jim Murphy said he "can't continue to work for an administration I don't respect," in the resignation letter. His last day, after serving 25 years, was Friday. But after what Foxx did in the Jussie Smollett case [google it], it's a wonder why he waited until now to come to this conclusion.

"I wish I could stay," the Murph wrote. "However, I can no longer work for this Administration. I have zero confidence in leadership." Again, what took his so long?

Murphy cited a number of reasons for his departure, including the "Safe-T Act," a measure that requires prosecutors to present a higher burden of proof, like a smoking gun, or video of the perp in the act, to hold accused criminals until trial. 

While Murphy supports eliminating cash-bail, he said Foxx's office rushed the reform and that his concerns were brushed aside. He cited "dangerously" low staffing levels in all units and bureaus in Foxx's office, to the point where one or two-person courtrooms are now common.

"If this administration was truly concerned with effectively fighting violent crime, then they would fully staff those courtrooms and units," he wrote. "Meanwhile the rest of us are overworked, overstressed, and under-resourced. But at least we were allowed to wear jeans in July."

Murphy said Foxx was angry one day several months ago when he was summoned into a meeting about bond hearings he was involved in. One involved a "massive shootout" and the other a woman who was gunned down walking to a store after being caught in the crossfire.

Murphy said Foxx was upset about a newspaper headline that indicated the suspect would not face a murder charge under the Safe-T Act. He said Foxx appeared to be more upset with the headline than the fact that a woman had died.

"That is what is wrong with this administration. I've seen day after day," he said. "How many mass shootings do there have to be before something is done?"

The answer to that question isn't 'how many', it's 'how close to Foxx's home' does it have to be before she does something.

"This administration is more concerned with political narratives and agendas than with victims and prosecuting violent crime," he added. "That is why I can't stay any longer."

Hopefully the Murph will find better work.

Kim Foxx lied about contacts with Jussie's sister and has ethics problem

Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx claimed publicly on several occasions that she cut off communication with the sister of convicted racist hoaxer Jussie Smollett after he became a suspect in the case in which he hired two Black men to pretend to be White Trump supporters and attack him at 2 a.m. on a freezing Chicago night. According to the special prosecutor's report, Foxx lied to the public as she continued communicating with her on several occasions afterward.

The report was released Monday by special prosecutor Daniel Webb. It cites multiple examples from March 2019 and at the end of May 2019 in which Foxx lied to the media by claiming she stopped communicating with Smollett's sister. In truth, she sent five text messages to her BFF and spoke with her on the phone three times through February 13, 2010--five days after she claimed she stopped communicating with her.

On Feb. 13, the women discussed the melanin levels of the alleged attackers whereby Smollett's sister asked, "They're White, right?"

Foxx told her that [unfortunately] they were not White. Then that evening, Smollett said her conversation with Foxx was "quite different" and that Foxx said they had to stop communicating anymore and that she was recusing herself from the case.

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough evidence to support criminal charges against Foxx or anyone else at the Cook County State Attorney's Office (CCSAO).

However, prosecutor Webb said in his report that "the OSP did develop evidence that establishes substantial abuse of discretion and operational failures by the CCASO in prosecuting and resolving the Initial Smollett Case."

He added that it included a breach of its "obligations of honesty and transparency by making false and/or misleading statements to the public regarding the nature and reasons for the dismissal" of the initial case and said it was a "major failure of the operations."

In other words, Foxx's lies were unethical.

Retired Judge Sheila O’Brien, successfully filed the motion as a private citizen to have a special prosecutor assigned to the case. She slammed Foxx, calling her a "liar."

"Kim Foxx should resign. This report shows she is a liar, that her administration is in chaos and that she’s blaming everyone else," O'Brien said. "She should resign. Taxpayers deserve better and Ms. Preckwinkle, her mentor, should take no part in replacing Foxx."

"Cook County Government needs to clean house," she added.

If you live above ground, you are probably aware that Jussie Smollett was found guilty of five out of six charges: lying to a police officer that he was a hate crime victim, telling an officer he was a battery victim, telling a detective he was a hate crime victim, and in this case, being a lousy script writer, actor, director and casting director for using two Black men to play the roles of two White men.

Fox News stifles speech of Newt Gingrich regarding George Soros

Photo: AP/Carolyn Kaster, File

Fox News' "Outnumbered" is the top cable news network show at noon in the nation. Big deal.

On Wednesday, the network had on former Republican Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich who spoke about leftist violence in the United States.

But when host Harris Faulkner asked him for his final word, he explained what he believes is an enormous problem in many of the Democratic-run cities experiencing the riots and violence. He said that there was an inability to stop it because of the failure of progressive District Attornies such as those funded by George Soros to hold rioters accountable. 

But after he brought up Soros' name, Harris Faulkner looked as if she was going to bring something up and it might have been her lunch. Both Harris and co-host Melissa Francis got very strange with Gingrich as did Marie Harf, a former Obama administration official and now Fox's leftist commentator.

It got very uncomfortable when @newtgingrich correctly pointed out that Soros threw a fortune of his  money into DA races all over the country to elect far-left radicals and Fox News basically told him to shut up. WTF? pic.twitter.com/IxwcLG2gOH

— Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) September 16, 2020

Harf shilled for Soros and claimed that it wasn’t true.

But yes, of course it's true. A Soros-backed PAC has funded the campaigns of progressive DAs across the country. It isn’t even a question and has been reported by multiple outlets for years including the former newspaper, The New York Times, Politico, Free Beacon and RedState. The first two on the list are quite left-leaning.

Kim Gardner, the Circuit Attorney in St. Louis who went after the McCloskeys (for defending their home with firearms from the Marxist rioters) is a Soros-backed leftist as is Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx who made quite a mess with the Jussie Smollett case. 

It appears that Soros likes his "Kims." Wonder what he thinks of Kim Jong-un.

But it seems that Fox News has an issue of some sort over implicating Soros with being involved with the funding of these people. And there's no question that his money has helped the leftist cause for the people he funds.

What Soros has done is not in question, but what is in question is why Fox News going berserk and refusing to even discuss Soros. It isn't as if they haven't covered him before.

Chicago alderman slams state AG Kim Foxx over looting response

Kim Foxx

Politicians make decisions about our lives but the ones they make usually don't affect theirs, so, for example, those who oppose "Trump's wall" are not going to be dealing directly with illegal aliens coming across the border. The same is true of the leaders of large inner cities who have law enforcement stand down against rioters and looters--they don't own the businesses that were looted and burned down, so their decision to allow this to happen with impunity is no big deal for them.

But Raymond Lopes, the alderman for Chicago's 15th Ward, had his home and office vandalized by the rioters and he wasn't too happy with the Cook County State Attorney General, Kim Foxx, who basically allowed the rioting to go unpunished. 

Raymond Lopez

When rioters know they can get away with their actions, they're thinking, "Hey, free stuff!" and "Let's bust up some s**t." It's the dregs of human nature.

Lopez spoke on Fox News' "Fox and Friends" Friday about Foxx who is definitely not his friend about the second bout of rioting taking place in the city where the wind blows.

"This is too little, too late at the moment," Lopez told hosts Jillian Mele and Todd Piro. "We should've been doing felony charges two months ago when the city of Chicago was first rioted and ransacked by these organized looters."

But did Lopez speak out two months ago before his home was targeted?

Well, it turns out that he did call out for help as early as May 31st in a leaked conference call. His call for help fell on deaf Democratic ears.

Lopez added: "Now to say that we're finally taking action after the second round only sends the message that Chicago does not have a unified crime-fighting strategy because politicians are too busy bickering than they are protecting the public."

Lopez's comments come after the incompetent Foxx said, "Pointing fingers of blame will not make us any safer ... won't bring us any closer to justice ... stop the shooting or the looting, and our communities deserve more," in an op-ed for the Chicago Tribune on Wednesday.

Except pointing fingers will get the roaches to run into the daylight.

Since her tenure began in November 2019, Foxx has dismissed over 25,000 cases and some include murder cases! That's about 35 percent higher than the previous AG.

"The approach Kim Foxx is taking is to deflect from her responsibility and her failure to actually do her job, which is to prosecute criminals," Lopez correctly stated.

"You have to show that there are repercussions for bad behavior. That's not a partisan issue. That's not a political issue," he said. "That is a universal issue that if you do something wrong you must be held accountable, and she has failed consistently over the years, and now this is just a culmination of all of those efforts."

Except it has become a partisan issue. The left has been guilty of complacency over crime that emanates from antifa and Black Lives Matter rioting because they believe it hurts President Trump, and the mainstream media will support them on this issue.

Lori Lightfoot's death stare

In June, Lopez pleaded with zombie Mayor Lori Lightfoot for help after rioting and looting was done to honor the death of George Floyd. In an audio obtained by WTTW-TV, the Democratic Lightfoot told him: "I think you're 100 percent full of s---, is what I think."

Turns out it was Lightfoot's foot that had s**t on it.

Chicago PD launched a website showing video of the looting. They hope to identify the scumbags who were stealing Gucci bags they planned to use to carry the bread they so badly looted for. Lopez says the site isn't going to do much if the elected officials don't work together.

"The true test will be whether or not CPD, whether or not the state's attorney, and whether or not Lori Lightfoot pushes people to act," Lopez said. "Simply putting videos out for the sake of entertainment will do nothing unless we are willing to prosecute and hold people responsible."

The people who can afford to leave the big cities like Chicago and New York are already hitting the trail. Who in their right mind can blame them?

Jussie Smollett docs show prosecutors debated how to explain why they dropped charges

Jussie Smollett may get what he deserves now that documents released Friday show how prosecutors did mental gymnastics over how to paint a picture of their reasons for dropping the case.

In an email sent to prosecutors by Smollett’s attorney on March 26, the day before the charges were dropped, the lawyer, Patricia Holmes, suggested they claim that Smollett is a “dedicated citizen of Chicago who volunteers and contributes regularly in the Chicago area community," The New York Times reported.

Not that he does drugs and tried to get some from the two brothers who allegedly faked an attack on him.

On Friday, Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx went public with over 2,000 pages of documents related to the case, in which the 36-year-old Smollet claimed to have been the victim of an assault in Chicago at 2 a.m. in a polar vortex by two white guys wearing "MAGA" hats.

Foxx had pretended to recuse herself from the case, citing false rumors that she was related to Smollett. Previous explanations suggested she sort of recused over contact she had with Smollett family members during the investigation.

The documents also show that Foxx’s team struggled over whether she should recuse herself at all. Texts with her chief of staff showed Foxx wasn’t happy about having to recuse, possibly due to her desire to exonerate the semi-talented actor. She also called the rumors of them being related as “racist" because everyone who says anything negative about people of color are racist on the intersectional scale of stupidity. But she also said that she was told by an ethics officer that she “had to do it.”

According to The Times story, the state's attorney's office and the defense lawyer traded a series of emails in which they tried to neutralize the language so Smollett would neither be depicted as innocent or guilty of staging the alleged attack, and also tried to scale back his depiction as a contributor to the community. [I believe that's spoiled blowfish I smell.]

The alleged "white" attackers

In March, Foxx's office said she hadn't "formally" recused herself and had used the term in a "colloquial" sense rather than a legal sense. So we can assume that she "colloquially" recused herself, as if that's a thing.

Smollett was charged on 16 felony counts that included making a false police report when he allegedly staged what was supposed to look like a hate crime against him.

I hope this case goes to trial and the truth comes out. I say that as an old, privileged white guy who is tired of racism even when it comes from those who believe they get a pass on it.

Chicago cops release Jussie Smollett case docs

Just one week after an Illinois judge ordered "Empire actor Jussie Smollett's criminal case file to be unsealed, Chicago PD released the documents, which contained over 460 pages of case reports, arrest files and other supplementary files, according to Anthony Guglielmi, a Chicago PD spokesman.

There were over 300 pages of supplementary materials such as detective notes, ancillary material and subpoena records. By next week, this hopefully will be delivered.

"The final release will be pertinent video files that require a heavy amount of digital redaction for things like license plates of unrelated vehicles and the blurring of faces of individuals not involved in the criminal investigation," Guglielmi explained to Fox News. "We hope to have that completed by the week after next."

In early May, Cook County Judge Steven Watkins, who presided over a March hearing where prosecutors dismissed the charges with little explanation, ordered records in the controversial case be made public.

Smollett made national headlines in January when he filed what is believed by many to be a false police report alleging that two masked men attacked him, put a rope around his neck and poured bleach on him. There were more holes in that story than Michael Moore's skivvies after a meal of cabbage and beans.

Smollett, who is black and openly homosexual, claimed the men, in the wee hours of the morning, during a polar vortex, made racist and homophobic comments and  yelled “This is MAGA country," the allegedly shouted in Chicago, a city with half as many Trump voters as wild polar bears.

After an intense investigation, police decided Smollett staged the entire racist episode to drum up publicity for his career. Smollett has strongly denied the accusations because to admit to them would end his career.

After the charges were dropped, the court approved a request by Smollett's lawyer to seal the case in order to keep the evidence from further scrutiny.

The Associated Press and former newspaper The New York Times, asked the judge to reverse the decision, arguing there was a need for further transparency as to why prosecutors suddenly decided to abandon charges in spite of a boatload of evidence that Smollett was full of bull pucks.

Smollett’s lawyers had blustered that since the case was dropped, Smollett had “the right to be left alone.”

But Judge Watkins wisely disagreed.

Smollett “voluntarily appeared on national television for an interview speaking about the incident in detail,” the judge wrote. “After the March 26 dismissal, he voluntarily stood in front of cameras from numerous news organizations in the courthouse lobby and spoke about the case. On several occasions, attorneys for defendant, presumably with his authorization, appeared on various media outlets speaking about the case.”

Watkins added, “These are not the actions of a person seeking to maintain his privacy or simply to be let alone.”

So boo-freaking-hoo.

Natalie Spears, an attorney representing the media organizations that wanted the file unsealed, applauded Watkins’ May 23 decision and blamed President Trump for the Smollett's attorneys attempt at stopping the unsealing of documents.

“This is about transparency and trust in the system and we believe the public has a right to know what the government did and why,” she said after the hearing. "If this was a case against President Trump, there would be no documents to unseal because the case would have gone to trial. So open up the docs, buttercup."

At the time, there was no immediate comment from Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, an obvious fan and shill for Smollett. Though Foxx has publicly said she’d welcome an independent probe into her office’s decision, she has fought an effort by a retired Illinois appeals court judge to force the appointment of a special prosecutor due to her rational fear of her incompetence and that her racial bias toward Smollett would be uncovered.

Let the games begin!

Judge rules in favor of unsealing Smollett records

Chicago -- A judge on Thursday ruled in favor to unseal the records in the case of the "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett and grant reporters full access to the treasure trove of information.

The Chicago Sun-Times -- one of the newspapers requesting access to the Smollett file -- reported that the Cook County judge, Steven Watkins, ordered the documents unsealed because Smollett and his attorneys had “not shown good cause to rebut the public presumption of access."

Smollett's case files were sealed in the same hearing where the Cook County States Attorney announced that they would drop 17 felony counts against Smollett in return for approximately 16 hours of community service and a $10,000 check -- the "down payment" Smollett left with the court when he was let out on bond. He didn't even have to admit his guilt or apologize for making a false hate crime report.

The 17 charges stem from two interactions Smollett had with police following the attack, and Smollett was hit with one felony count of obstructing justice for each statement, made to investigators, that a grand jury believed was a lie, mostly because all of the evidence pointed in that direction.

It's Smollett's actions in the wake of the "deal" with prosecutors that seem to have convinced Judge Watkins to allow the Sun-Times, Chicago Tribune, and others access to the full case file, including an interview Smollett gave proclaiming his own innocence, shortly after his appearance in court.

“Smollett voluntarily appeared on national television speaking about the incident in detail,” Watkins said. “After the March dismissal, he stood in front of numerous cameras... in the courthouse lobby speaking about the case.”

“These are not the actions of a person seeking simply to maintain his privacy or simply to be let alone," Watkins added.

Watkins did not accept Smollett's attorneys' arguments that their client was entitled to a "right to privacy," adding that the public interest, in this case, outweighed the need to keep the documents sealed.

The Smollett case exposed a series of crazy policies at work inside the Cook County State's Attorney's office. In addition to what is likely preferred treatment given to Smollett, a celebrity, Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx is now accused of agreeing to lenient sentences in a variety of cases, in the name of a more "progressive" approach to justice, which is not in her job description.

In one case, Foxx's office seems to have allowed a violent offender to end his own probation and house arrest simply by disabling his ankle monitor. That POS then went on to murder an off-duty Chicago police officer and severely wound another.

Oh well, it's the thought that counts.

Foxx needs to go down for this. Testimony may appear publicly as soon as tomorrow.

Chicago Prosecutor Kim Foxx & deputies subpoenaed over Smollett case

What the heck happened in the Jussie Smollett case? How is it a person can falsely claim a hate crime, have a ton of evidence to dispute the claim, and get less than a slap on the wrist without even needing to apologize?

It looks like Cook County wants to find out.

A retired judge, Sheila O'Brien, is seeking the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate exactly what lead Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx's office to drop charges against "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett. She has subpoenaed Foxx, her chief deputy, and Smollett to appear at a hearing to discuss the case. Hopefully, Smollett won't be too busy to make an appearance.

The Chicago-Sun Times reports that the retired Cook County appellate judge filed a petition last week demanding that a special prosecutor be appointed to investigate Foxx's office. O'Brien's filings included a subpoena demanding Foxx's presence at a hearing to discuss the potential appointment. In addition, O'Brien is seeking to compel the appearance of Foxx's deputy, Joseph Magats, [[pronounced "Maggots"] who was the public face of the "plea deal" Foxx's office brokered with Smollett, and the mediocre actor himself.

Also, the petition demands that the three subjects produce a copy of all documents they may have in their possession relating to the case, to ensure “that they have not been altered or destroyed and will not be destroyed throughout this case."

“Foxx’s conflict in this matter is beyond dispute,” O’Brien wrote in her petition. “Instead, Foxx misled the public into believing that Smollett’s case was handled like any other prosecution and without influence.”

It is  unclear if O'Brien can compel a special prosecutor's investigation, but it appears she's going to try. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

She has been vocal about the lack of oversight of Foxx's office in this case, and Foxx's own lack of attention to how her office handled the Smollett investigation, the charges, and the subsequent "plea deal."

O'Brien wrote an article for the Chicago Tribune earlier this month saying that the city and county needs to pursue an investigation into how Foxx handled her clear conflict of interest in the Smollett case.

Kim Foxx is okay with outside investigation into Smollett case

Cook County State's Attorney [while she still has her law license] Kim Foxx [no relation to Redd Foxx but she is friends with the Obamas] said that she is open to an independent outside investigation into her office's horrible decision to dismiss all charges against "alleged" racial hoaxer and staunch anti-Trumper, Jussie Smollett. [The word 'alleged' is used to protect us from lawsuits but the evidence that shows Smollett is guilty is highly overwhelming.]

In an op-ed for The Chicago Tribune, Foxx admitted that a third-party review into the high-profile case would help maintain transparency, something she pretends to welcome with open adipose arms.

The surprise decision to drop all 16 charges on Tuesday, followed by Smollett's refusals to apologize along with claims of his innocence and complete exoneration, was followed by an immediate rebuke from Chicago's mayor Rahm Emanuel and police superintendent Eddie T. Johnson. Both men said that it was a "whitewash of justice" which subsequently put pressure on the state's attorney's office to defend its whitewash actions.

“I am not perfect, nor is any other prosecutor out there, but ensuring that I and my office have our community’s trust is paramount,” Foxx, who ran on a platform of transparency, wrote.

Foxx also initially said she recused herself from the Smollett case and later stated that she didn't mean "recuse-recuse," she was merely being colloquial and only meant 'recuse'. The question is, how can anyone use the legal term 'recuse' in a colloquial way?

Smollett is accused of staging an anti-gay, racist attack on himself in January in order to promote his career. He has denied the charges from the start and says two men approached him at 2 a.m. during a polar vortex, beat him, threw bleach they apparently had on him and tied a rope around his neck before shouting, "This is MAGA country," in reference to President Trump's campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again."

Yes. We are to believe that while most people were at home in their warm beds, two white Trump supporters IN CHICAGO knew who Smollett is because they watch "Empire" like all good Trump supporters, had bleach and a rope with them, and attacked him.

We are also to believe that in during the entire "attack," Smollett held onto his Subway sandwich, left the rope around his neck and waited 40 minutes to call the cops. And we are expected to believe that after he told the cops that he spoke with his boss when the attack occurred, but refused to give up his phone to them so they could check, that he was telling the truth.

And we are expected to believe that the two Nigerian men who he knew, who bought red hats [not MAGA hats--they're impossible to buy in Chicago], rope and bleach, prior to the attack, and that Smollett had written them a check for three thousand dollars, [not a Mensa move], and who subsequently told law enforcement that Smollett hired him to attack him, that he is innocent?

In order to investigate the alleged hate crime, the city removed 24 detectives from their regular cases, expending up to 1,000 hours to hunt down the truth.

“In determining whether or not to pursue charges, prosecutors are required to balance the severity of the crime against the likelihood of securing a conviction,” Foxx wrote. “For a variety of reasons ... my office believed the likelihood of securing a conviction was not certain.”

Yeah, and OJ is still looking for the killer of his wife.

According to sources, including my own source, Vinny Bagadonuts, the grand jury was willing to indict Smollett with a sliver of evidence the Chicago PD provided to them.

Foxx said Smollett’s “alleged unstable actions have probably caused him more harm than any court-ordered penance could.”  Boo hoo. But she added that jails should be reserved for those who commit violent crimes, which is not her call to make, and it's blatantly false.

Her defense isn't swaying many people.

"Foxx could have distanced herself from this blunder given that her own blunder — emailing and texting with people close to Smollett early in the investigation — had prompted her to step away from the case and leave it to underlings," Chicago Tribune columnist Eric Zorn wrote. "But she grabbed ownership of it Wednesday, giving interviews in which she expressed pride and confidence in the way her office had handled the case."

Zorn, like so many others in Chicago, believe Foxx "probably will and arguably should lose her job next year over her office's handling of the Jussie Smollett case." Some believe she should lose her license to practice law.

Foxx's actions also prompted both the National District Attorneys Association and the Illinois Prosecutors bar Association to sharply criticize her office.

President Trump obviously waded into the controversy because he cannot help himself, saying he would asked federal law enforcement officials to look into Smollett's case right after he asks them to check out whether Adam Schiff was the guy caught on camera jay walking on J Street.

“I think the case in Chicago is an absolute embarrassment to our country, and I have asked that they look at it,” Trump said.
