Michelle Obamas former chief of staff said Wednesday that her behind-the-scenes communications with Cook Countys top prosecutor about the case involving actor Jussie Smollett were not intended at influencing the outcome of the case.
Facing backlash following the decision Tuesday to drop felony charges that Smollett faked a hate crime against himself, Tina Tchen said she simply reached out to Cook County States Attorney Kim Foxx to put her in touch with Smolletts family after Smollett reported that he was a victim of an attack in River North.
I know members of the Smollett family based on prior work together, Tchen said in a statement released Wednesday. Shortly after Mr. Smollett reported he was attacked, as a family friend, I contacted Cook County States Attorney Kim Foxx, who I also know from prior work together. My sole activity was to put the chief prosecutor in the case in touch with an alleged victims family who had concerns about how the investigation was being characterized in public.

Soros/Michelle/Kamala were just calling in for “a favor” based on the 400k they gave her.
Sent that Tchen chick to collect.
Sounds like there was some collusion to avoid lawful prosecution...
Actually, I recall reading some time ago that the relationship between Emanuel and the obamas had gotten rather frosty. I think they wanted to the run the city behind the scenes and just assumed they would once their boy was in there, but he actually wanted to run it - for better or for worse - himself.
Rats are panicking and jumping ship.....pointing fingers has commenced...
There appears to be more than enough evidence to get a FISA Warrant and go through the last 20 years of their lives
And what other reason would she have? Enquiring minds want to know.
What work? The current generation is in show biz, in one form or another. The father is dead. That leaves ex-Black Panther mom, pals with Angela Davis and acquaintance of Kamala Harris.
Again, what work.
Yup. She wasn’t trying to get the feds to take over because they’d go easier on Juicy.
Tina Tchen was to be the sacrificial lamb?
Nope. Rahm’s old news,more like this was Tony Preckwinkle, old time Chicago Machine corrupt hack who is WAY down in the polls to replace Rahm. Rahm is too slick for a ham-handed move like this, but Crimesha Foxx who saw her mentor “Prickwrinkle” going down jumped at the chance to ingratiate herself with the Hollywood/Obama crowd who would give her a much better power base, much closer to her other mentor, Kamala Harris.
Rahm anger was real, but he also knows how the Obama’s operate better than anyone and wanted to be sure he was not the point man for the retribution that was sure to come.
Well ok then.
No one who ever worked for Obama lies.
Hannity should send over all his Patriotic Front Line FBI people that he’s always going on about.
Oh, brother. “Who are you gonna believe, me or your own lying eyes?”
There was a black retired Los Angeles police officer on Fox yesterday and she wasn’t having any of it. She said it was clear that Smollett got the “homey hookup” and that if she had done what he did, she’d be in court facing serious charges.
“.....put her in touch with Smolletts family......
The prosecutor? I can promise you she had already been in touch with them during the investigation. If not, then the work “done” by the Chicago police and DA was not done.
He got caught with his hands in the cookie jar, and was worried about his reputation? He better worry about the fact that people who have information on some in the liberal party that needs covering seem to disappear or die. And any idiot should know that Smollett didn’t work without getting help from someone in the system. He’s toast if it is investigated by the DOJ or the FBI and charges brought up for a false hate crime report. Someone’s stuff will be in the wind.

Guilty then.
One of the texts with this gal has a name redacted. And it is obviously a very important name. We need to see that name.
I got you babe.
oops! but there’s messages that say differently
The May meeting included an NEA official (Mario Garcia Durham), two representatives of the first lady (Joseph Reinstein and Trooper Sanders), White House Arts Czar Kareem Dale (who reports to Valerie Jarrett), and three members of what was then known as the Office of Public Liason now the Office of Public Engagement, headed by Valerie Jarrett: Buffy Wicks, her boss Tina Tchen, and Mike Strautmanis. Strautmanis had been a paralegal at Michelle Obamas law firm. The New York Times calls him Obamas former chief counsel and de facto younger brother.-—GLENN BECK
