Critics have now been dragging up the seemingly close ties Smollett's sisters have with Tchen

The shock decision to drop all charges against Jussie Smollett has critics questioning whether the Empire actor's high-powered connections were involved as police call for a probe into the Obama links to his case.

Text messages exchanged between Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx and ex-Michelle Obama aide Tina Tchen continue to face increasing scrutiny in the wake of Smollett's record being wiped clean on Tuesday.

The Chicago police union has slammed Foxx's conduct in the case as 'highly, highly suspicious' following her decision to recuse herself in the days before Smollett's arrest after intervening in the investigation at the request of Tchen.

It emerged last week that Foxx was trading texts with Tchen and one of Smollett's relatives while police were still investigating the hoax hate crime.

Tchen and Smollett's sister Jurnee Smollett-Bell were pictured together at an event at Austin's South by Southwest and the United State of Women Summit in Los Angeles early last year.

Both of Smollett's sisters also worked for the Obama campaign in 2008 and 2012 and Smollett-Bell also reportedly visited Tchen in the White House.

Smollett himself has been pictured with the Obamas at the White House and once danced on stage with Michelle in a viral video from an event last year.

Sisters...or sistahs?

But Juicy doesn’t swing that way, I guess.

I doubt if he’s smart enough to have an ideology.
He knows enough to know what boxes he needs to check to keep his “career “ going.

You never know. Maybe Subway will hire him as a new spokesman. ;-)
