A South Side attorney filed a petition Thursday asking for a special prosecutor to look into whether Empire actor Jussie Smollett should be re-charged with staging a hate crime as well as whether Cook County States Attorney Kim Foxx or her subordinates interfered with the investigation.
The filing by Saani Mohammed, who until recently was an assistant states attorney in Foxxs office, marked the first formal request that a special prosecutor be appointed since the bombshell decision last week to drop all charges against Smollett.
Saying Foxxs handling of the case was plagued with irregularity, Mohammeds 10-page petition asked that presiding Criminal Court Judge Leroy Martin Jr. appoint a special prosecutor to investigate whether Foxx acted to impede the investigation
concealed evidence, and/or intentionally misled the public.

Hell, lets open up an Office of Special Prosecutor. There are a whole bunch of investigations that could be started.
- Clinton email
- Clinton DNC collusion to rig the primaries
- Clinton collusion with Russia to sell uranium
etc
Wouldn't that be an "obstruction of justice" ?
I don’t TRUST that any investigations on our side will ever LEAD to anything.
I remember Gowdy a million years ago going after hillary.
Nothing ever seems to happen.
Forget it, it’s Chicago.
Saani Mohammed. Ex-Assistant State's Attorney in Kim Foxxs office.
Chicago should be very proud---they found the Missing Link---and made it State's Attorney.
Crook County! Where the inmates really do run the asylum!
Good Lord that woman is homely! Looks like the south end of a north bound mule.
I am guessing that he (1) has a VERY good idea what goes on there in Foxx’s office and (2) sees this as a great opportunity to make a name for himself.
.....no question.....
How the Hell does a once great city turn into THIS?
The nee mafia figured oit it is much more lucrative to get elected. Soros has a strategy to fund local AG races to destroy oir rule of law and make it easier fir dems to cheat and steal.
How the Hell does a once great city turn into THIS?
It’s called democrats.
This smolett thing just keeps getting funnier and funnier
looks like it is not going away like they wanted it to
This more subtle thing that this is showing is at the Democrat party is ideologically completely opposed to law-enforcement
Saani Mohammed has probably been visited by Moochie’s people already this morning.
He’ll be told to back off, or end up in one of ValJar’s Iranian stalags.
Nothing ever seems to happen.
I have a faint glimmer of hope here. The FBI in Chicago tosses local politicians into prison with both hands. Two former Illinois Governors are both in prison on corruption charges. One is a Dem, the other a Republican. Although in Illinois its almost impossible to tell them apart.
Former Alderman Mel Reynolds did a prison stretch for the same thing Anthony Weiner got pinched for. Jesse Jackson Jr and his wife are serving alternating prison sentences for corruption. Even his old man couldnt sleaze them out of that one.
Fox violated every known procedure, which are codified into Law in these parts, pulling this little stunt. Since those texts from the Obama folks crossed state lines this could very well become a Federal matter under the wire fraud statutes.
Then theres the little matter of that phony letter full of white powder Smollet mailed to himself. Thats a very big deal and the USPS takes a very, very dim view of that.
We have some very serious problems here in Chicago. Theres no doubt about that. But there are way too many eyes on this thing for it to just go away.
Ill say it again. Foxx committed a cardinal sin here. She embarrassed the Mayor and pissed of the entire Chicago Police Department as well as brought negative attention to herself from the Feds. There will be some serious blowback.
It may take a while, but its very possible for it to happen.

I will pray you are right.
