Kim Foxx lied to the public, abused power in exonerating Smollett, but faces no legal consequences
By David Kahn

The special prosecutor appointed to review the conduct of state attorney Kim Foxx in letting Jussie Smollett off the hook for staging a fake hate crime to libel Trump supporters has completed his work, and she, too is off the hook. Via The Patch:

Quote
Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx made "false and misleading statements" about her office's prosecution of actor Jussie Smollet and engaged in "substantial abuses of discretion," but she didn't break the law, according to special prosecutor Dan Webb.

Last year, Smollett, the former "Empire" actor, was accused of staging a racist, homophobic attack on himself. He was indicted on 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct that were dropped by Foxx's office.

Webb's investigation found the "process and decision-making" of Foxx's office related to Smollett's prosecution amounted to a "substantial abuse of discretion and represented a major failure of the operations."

The detailed statement released Monday also found:

·       Foxx's office engaged in "substantial abuse of discretion and breached its obligations of honesty and transparency by making false and/or misleading statements to the public" about why the charges were dismissed.

·       Foxx's office made false statements and misled the public by claiming the State's Attorney had legally recused herself from Smollett's prosecution.

·       Foxx engaged in a substantial abuse of discretion and breached its obligations of honesty and transparency by making false and/or misleading statements to the public that she stopped communicating with Jurnee Smollett, Mr. Smollett's sister, after the actor had become a subject of the investigation.

Webb's summary report determined that Foxx's claim that her office's deferred prosecution of charges against Smollett were similar to more than 5,000 other cases wasn't true.

So, she lied to the public and abused her powers but it’s not criminal.

Why, you might ask?

Because it’s not a crime for a public official to lie to the public unless it’s under oath. Which it rarely is. In fact they can lie to their colleagues and often do.  They don’t lie all the time. Only when they’re awake.

I prefer to look on the bright side.  Their little stunt has created a atmosphere of mistrust of beleiving any further staged fake hate crimes. 
This thing backfired on the SJW terrorist more than they think.

More of reflection of the electorate than the lowlife winning the race.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
