Shortened title.

Full title: Former Deputy Asst. Attorney General: Kim Foxx Faces Up to 20 Years in Jail if Convicted of Corruption

Appearing Thursday evening on the Fox News Channel, former Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Yoo told host Laura Ingraham that Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx could serve up to 20 years in prison if convicted of corruption for her handling of the Jussie Smollett case.

Kim Foxx is under fire after all charges were dropped against the Empire star in connection to allegedly staging a hate crime against himself to boost his career. This week, Foxx’s office backpedaled on claims that the top prosecutor formally rescued herself from the case after Tina Tchen, the former chief of staff of former first lady Michelle Obama, pressured her to have the Smollett investigation transferred from the Chicago Police Department to the FBI.

Foxx could be potentially liable for what’s called mail wire fraud of depriving citizens of their honest services, which if she is convicted, right? This is the standard law that is used to go after corrupt state officials. Suppose she got a bribe, suppose she was promised a fundraiser or who knows what kind of other influence to drop this case, the maximum sentence is 20 years in prison.

My money is on her getting the Brenda Snipes treatment - nothing.

And quite possibly her job back.

You’re going to ask these people to investigate themselves and see if they did anything wrong?

Friend of the Kenyanesian Usurper.

It’s the ultimate “get out of jail free” card.

I’ll believe that when I see it. The worst she’ll get is a small, token fine and letter requesting she consider not doing that again.

Irony of ironies.

That one would be hard to beat.

I still say (I said it on another thread), Jussie should take up golf so he can search for the real perpetrators.

I’m sure that’s gonna happen. How many years could Brenda Snipes have faced for multiple counts of corruption and election fraud? Worst case scenario, Foxx takes an outlandish Cook County pension and double dips with some Obama sponsored race hustling organization.

I can see this making it through an investigation where sufficient evidence if found to go to trial, and the interim States Attorney drops the charges...

Rinse.

Repeat.

The true real victims here are the general collection of Trump supporters in being connected to false accusations from the lying lips and actions of hoaxster Jester Smollett. He’s a real piece of work with his low friends in high places.

Well, for state of Illinois, she’ll have to wait for a cell to open up. The Governor’s have taken all the choice real estate.
