First Assistant State’s Attorney Joseph Magats, the man who decided to drop 16 felony charges against Jussie Smollett, never had the legal authority to act in his boss Kim Foxx’s stead, internal agency correspondence shows.
A trove of documents obtained by The Post and others through a public records request reveal that high ranking members of Foxx’s team sought advice on the legal authority behind her recusal after it was made public on Feb. 19.
Alan Spellberg, the county’s Criminal Appeals Division Supervisor, sent an email to Chief Deputy State’s Attorney and Chief Ethics Officer April Perry and senior adviser Robert Foley on Feb. 20 citing legal precedence behind recusals.
“My conclusion from all of these authorities is that the [sic] while the State’s Attorney has the complete discretion to recuse herself from any matter, she cannot simply direct someone (even the First Assistant) to act in her stead,” Spellberg wrote.

Looks like big Mike and his beard are trying to remove their fingerprints!
Yeh....But when Michelle Obama tells you to drop them, you just do it.
Homonymous with “Maggots”?
White guy did it.
Magats rhymes with...
Maggots?
Oh yeah, she can do dat! She a black woman! She can do dat and mo'!!
/S
Right...? Double jeopardy hasn’t attached, has it? And the circumstances of dropping the charges won’t lead a jury to doubt guilt? (Maybe prompt nullification, but not doubt.)
So if you want the job, do the damn job.
Jeff Sessions
Betting she got paid off big time. Put her in jail.
No reasonable prosecutor would have charged.
He didn’t intend to break the law.
“The State’s Attorney was recused at the time of Mr. Spellberg’s opinion and thus had been not [sic] made aware of the email or it’s contents,” the agency said when asked why Foxx wasn’t informed of the email”
So because she pretended to be recused she didn’t get the opinion but because she wasn’t really recused she had the authority to appoint the guy to act in her place
Does that sum it up?
Seems like it should be illegal and she should be fired and disbarred

Kim Foxx looks like she walked right out of the Simpsons
I DECLARE “RECUSAL”!
So then the charges still stand if the person who dropped them didn’t have the authority.
Great news! When does the trial start?
Yep! Make it happen!
