WATCH: Records in Jussie Smollett case to be unsealed
It’s not over yet, folks.
Many asked why we kept hammering the Jussie Smollett thing.
Well… many of us believe in justice. And I don’t believe it’s JUST to let something like this just go away. If he wasn’t going to be held responsible in court, we have no problem ensuring he continues to be held accountable in the court of public opinion.
The Jussie Smollett case is a prime example of how corrupt and incredibly unfair our social justice system can be if left in the wrong hands.
KIM FOXX is the WRONG HANDS.
…and a Cook County, Illinois judge has now ruled that a special prosecutor should be appointed to investigate the hate crime hoax.
According to Daily Wire:
CBS News Chicago reported that the judge made the ruling because “Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx had no authority to hand [the case] off to her top deputy after announcing she recused herself.”
TMZ noted that the judge “used a nautical metaphor to describe the screw-ups” made by Foxx’s office, saying, “There was no master on the bridge to guide the ship as it floundered through unchartered waters. And it ultimately lost its bearings.”
Well, that’s pretty.
TRANSLATION: She done messed UP.
“Smollett’s case in many ways was truly unique,” Judge Michael Toomin said, according to reporter Megan Crepeau. “A case that purported to have been brought and supervised by a prosecutor authorized to serve in the stead of the duly elected state’s attorney but in fact who was appointed to a fictitious office.”

“The special prosecutor may further prosecute Smollett, and if they have ‘reasonable grounds to believe that any other criminal offense was committed … special prosecutor may commence the prosecution of any crime as may be suspected.'”
