Cook County, Ill., State's Attorney Kimberly Foxx never legally recused herself from the Jussie Smollett case, her office said Thursday.

“The State’s Attorney did not formally recuse herself or the Office based on any actual conflict of interest,” Foxx’s spokeswoman Tandra Simonton said in a statement, two days after the charges against the "Empire" actor were dropped. “As a result, she did not have to seek the appointment of a special prosecutor under [state law].”

The spokeswoman said Foxx’s office used the word “recuse” to talk about her involvement in the case as a “colloquial use” rather than the legal definition of the term.

I'm hoping more than anything that the federal investigation(s) being proposed will look into all the dastardly deeds done to get Smollett off.  The two hoaxes  -- alleged beating and the supposed hate mail -- are just a drop in the bucket.   There is corruption on a large scale here and it stinks to high heaven.
