Private Texts Show Kim Foxx Calling Jussie Smollett a ‘Washed Up Celeb Who Lied to Cops’ – Then She Let Him Go

Hmm. Well, this is interesting, isn’t it?

All signs point to the fact that Kim Foxx let Jussie Smollett go because she felt like it. 

Interestingly, she doesn’t seem to be a big fan.

According to Daily Wire:

Obtained through an FOIA request by the Chicago Tribune, newly-revealed texts from State’s Attorney Kim Foxx to her top deputy, Joseph Magats, that were sent roughly two weeks before charges against Jussie Smollett were dropped show her referring to him as a “washed up celeb who lied to cops.”

Um… that’s factual.

It’s interesting that she CLEARLY knows he’s a liar.

Another text from Foxx showed her writing, “Sooo …… I’m recused, but when people accuse us of overcharging cases … 16 counts on a class 4 becomes exhibit A.”

“I know I’m recused, but we all know I’m not, so let me impart my opinion.”

Additionally, Foxx compared Smollett’s case to the case of R&B singer R. Kelly, who was about to be charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. She wrote, “Pedophile with 4 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. Just because we can charge something doesn’t mean we should.”

So… charge nothing?

Is that her compromise here? Go from overcharging to letting someone go for no discernable reason at all?

The Tribune noted that Foxx’s texts came after she had recused herself from the case, prompting the Tribune to ask Foxx’s office for an explanation. A spokeswoman for Foxx said Foxx contacted Magats “to discuss reviewing office policies to assure consistencies in our charging and our use of appropriate charging authority.”

Whatever. I have some ocean-front Arizona property to sell anyone who legitimately believes Kim Foxx truly recused herself from this case.

As the Daily Wire had previously reported:

Foxx’s office was also forced to admit another egregious error late Wednesday, after the National District Attorney’s Association issued a scathing letter rebuking Foxx’s office for their conduct during the Smollett affair. Among their complaints, a prosecutor who recuses herself from a case should pull her entire staff from involvement in that case and appoint a “special prosecutor,” or she risks tainting the entire operation with her conflict of interest.

Additionally, Foxx never officially recused herself. She just gave a ridiculous press conference stating she would. The whole thing was an absurd charade…

Proving once again why Good Ol’ Chicago is without a doubt the most corrupt city in this nation.

What a joke.
