Hollywood “washed up” actor Jussie Smollett was let off by the corrupt Cook County State’s Attorney’s office after his vicious stunt to smear Trump supporters as homophobic, racists backfired.
Smollett was charged with 16 counts of lying to police in his hoax hate crime.  Smollett allegedly employed two Nigerian brothers to play the parts of the homophobic white men.

The Chicago Police sent actor Jussie Smollett a bill for $130,000in March demanding payment for their investigation of his false statements.

The police letter to Jussie Smollett said, “The Chicago Police Department take seriously those who make false statements to the police, thereby diverting resources from other investigations.”

The Chicago police told Smollett to send them the payment in a timely manner.

On Monday Chicago authorities released new text messages from corrupt State’s Attorney Kim Foxx. The messages show Kim Foxx continued to intervene in the case in support of Smollett after she recused herself.

BREAKING: New text messages show that Cook County District Attorney Kim Foxx intervened in the case against Empire actor Jussie Smollett, weeks after she claimed that she recused herself. https://pagesix.com/2019/04/16/kim-foxx-meddled-in-jussie-smollett-case-weeks-after-recusing-herself-texts-show 
 

New text messages reveal that Chicago prosecutor Kim Foxx was meddling in the Jussie Smollett case weeks after she claimed she’d recused herself — complaining that the “washed up celeb” faced too many charges.

Foxx’s office issued a statement recusing her on Feb. 19, though it later claimed she “did not formally recuse herself.”

But in March 8 text messages released Tuesday as part of a FOIA request from The Post and other outlets, Foxx tells First Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Joe Magats, who took over the case for her, that “I’m recused” — then went on to complain that the “Empire” star had been charged with too many crimes.

“Sooo …… I’m recused, but when people accuse us of overcharging cases … 16 counts on a class 4 becomes exhibit A,” Foxx wrote at the start of the exchange.

“Yes. I can see where that can be seen as excessive,” Magats replied.

Foxx then apparently compares Smollett’s 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct for lying to cops to singer R. Kelly’s 10 felony sex-abuse charges.

“Pedophile with victims 10 counts. Washed up celeb who lied to cops, 16. On a case eligible for deferred prosecution I think it’s indicative of something we should be looking at generally,” Foxx continued.

“Just because we can charge something doesn’t mean we should.”

Chicago reporter Charlie De Mar posted the messages on his Twitter feed last night.

Sorta like Nunes recusing himself, but not really. You know, just like Republicans.

Yeah, sort of like Jeff Sessions recusing himself on the Russia probe and then reversing himself.  Oh wait he never did that did he.  Sort of like Democratic donors and people who were openly Democratic supporters recusing themselves from the investigation on Donald Trump and Russia collusion.  Oh wait none of them recused themselves but rather were instrumental in the investigation.  Muller had so many Republican sympathizers on his investigation group and so few obviously Democratic leaning folks ... oh wait Muller's group of investigators consisted totally of Democrats and people favorable to the Democrats and zero people that were Trump supporters or even professed Independents.  

It's a good thing that Loretta Lynch decided to recuse herself of anything to do with the Hillary Clinton investigation or that, originally private,  tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton that was ultimately revealed by a reporter might have appeared as a partial act on her part but everyone knows private meetings were always the best way to arrange a meet to talk and discuss about each other's grandchildren. That might have sounded good IF Loretta Lynch recused herself but we all know she didn't and was instrumental along with other high position Justice Department employees totally partial to Hillary Clinton involved in rewriting the contorted statement absolving Hillary of any guilt with obstruction of Justice or felonies connected with her Secretary of State job just because she didn't have any "intent" to break the law.  It was known and agreed that she broke the law but it's all right because she didn't mean to. 

Can you imagine the reactions and the news reporting if Trump had deleted 30,000 emails or with Trump more like Tweets, if there was that many and they were requested by Congress and/or the FBI?  What if Trump had people bleach bit, wipe his computer hard drives and cell phones and then destroyed them with hammers and broke apart SIM cards and chips that were used in his phones and computers?   I'm sure no one would have accused him of obstruction of justice or said anything about that.  If Republicans had done just like the Democrats did then Trump would have openly pronounced Attorney General Barr as "His Wingman" and Trump would have erased and wiped hard drives and tweets associated with the Campaign.  

Barr summarized the Muller report in four pages within four days or so and was accused of rewording it to be favorable for Trump and accused of not being able to read and adequately state the Muller reports findings yet when Comey and the FBI was said to have gone through tens of thousands of Hillary's emails in 48 hours time no one thought that this was unrealistic but totally adequate time for finding nothing wrong on Anthony Weiner's computer's hard drive.  Hillary's computer and phone couldn't be analyzed so easily as they had been wiped with a military grade data eraser algorithm program and chips and phones were destroyed.   Comey and top Justice department officials did rewrite the Comey statement such that no one could use the words to call for indictments of Hillary for things she obviously and definitely did do.  Trump and the Republicans are being accused of doing exactly what the Democrats did and got away with and the Media is totally complicit throughout it all.  

Can you only imagine what the media and Democrats would say if there was collusion with Russia found in the Muller Report but Barr stated that Trump was innocent because he didn't intend to collude?  WE will never know because Trump didn't collude with Russia nor did his Campaign and oh yeah there's that suggestion that Trump Obstructed Justice.  Well let's say it was found out in the investigation that somehow they deemed he did obstruct justice but he didn't intend to.  I'm sure that it would all be forgotten and they would dismiss it as quickly as they did Hillary's actions.  Here is the interesting part though. Trump knows he didn't collude with Russia, Trump still allows Muller to finish his report and indict all these people and Trump never has him fired but yet Trump is obstructing Justice?  What's the crime he's obstructing?  How is he obstructing Justice?  By firing Comey?  Comey himself stated openly and publicly, before, that he serves at the pleasure of the President and that the President or any President can fire him for any reason or no reason at all yet with Trump it's obstruction?

Typical reply when you cannot dispute the facts contained within. The modern Democratic party’s moral compass is so deficient and broken that it no longer points in any direction other than a black hole where not even light escapes.

Right, the party of Jesus supports a bigot and adulterer and wants to lecture me about my 'moral compass'. You can't make this stuff up.

Republicans investigating Republicans , but they're all really Democrats. That's how the Republican mind has pictured this? No wonder the Republicans are claiming to be the Party of Stupid.

The Republicans aren't the party of Jesus but rather the one of the two major parties that still cares about the rights and freedoms granted under the Constitution.  Nor are Republicans looking to make a theocracy but rather are trying to defeat the Democrats recent push to legalize infanticide and killing (i.e. murder) of the most innocent among us those living within the womb.  Likewise, Republicans seek to enforce the laws of the Nation and restrict or prevent Illegal immigration.  Nothing wrong with protecting innocent life and enforcing the nation's laws.

You've gone full tilt loon, I see. Republicans seek to force their morals on the rest of the world. Period. Infanticide is illegal, already. Obama deported more illegals than any POTUS, in recent history.

Nope, not one thing wrong with protecting innocent life and enforcing the nation's laws. Just stop trying to force Christian's version of 'sharia law' on the rest of us.

There was a time when you could find a Christian democrat. Those days are mostly gone and only praising Islam will keep your religion from being attacked by democrats.

True, but I'm wondering if the main reason for that is the zeal and vigor that their zealots exercise in actually inflicting harm, pain, and murder on those whom they declare a jihad against.

There was a time when you could find a Republican with common sense. Those days are mostly gone and nothing will bring them back, but that doesn't stop the Republicans from attacking Democrats.
