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.

I would bet money that Kamala Harris and cory Booker would show up on his cell phone, and were involved.
And he told them “clear this up or I name names”

Cook County States Attorney Kim Foxx cut a deal with the Cop killer which permitted him to be out on probation when he killed Chicago police officer Rivera. According to the deal, he would plead guilty to all charges in the first incident. In the second incident, prosecutors would throw out the home invasion and all weapons charges, then the state would reduce the remaining burglary count to attempted burglary, and Jackson would plead guilty in exchange for probation. http://www.cwbchicago.com/2019/03/judge-released-accused-cop-killer-from.html

Maybe someone will go thru the last 30 years of Obamas life. Doesnt seem too hard to do
So the wealthy well connected smollets family had no idea how to contact the D.A.’s office without help.
Sounds legit.
Jack Ryan can tell you how the Obamas operate. They get stuff unsealed.
Or Jack Webb. He’d figure this out right away.
I sold the trust that Michelle Obama guy.
Oh, please! As Foxx is a States Attorney, I think it’s safe to say she could have gotten “in touch with Smollett’s family”, without the help of the Obamites. They must REALLY think we’re gullible!
If Rahm DID have real anger the other day, he’s been warned off by Obama/Clinton/whoever, since then, and told to try to turn the whole thing back on Trump, or all people. It’s almost laughable.
