I dont understand why they picked her. She is dumb. She is horribly ugly. ONe picture in particular sort of looks like a howdy doody black puppet around the mouth.

Unless she was well connected I just dont get it. Plenty of people to hand pick.

>>>My bet is she resigns sometime in the next couple of weeks<<<

Following in the footsteps of the Virginia Governor and Lieutenant Governor. Oh wait...

This is a little different. She has a Bar association and the National District Attorneys Association after her. Both have blasted her.

She should lose her license...but won’t.

She should lose her Freedom, her Pension and any other perk she received as a “Public Servant”.

“Following in the footsteps of the Virginia Governor and Lieutenant Governor. Oh wait...”

This is different. There are laws governing how this case should have been handled and Foxx broke every one of them. Even our useless State AG is going to have a very hard time turning the usual blind eye.

Her political allies are abandoning her in droves over this and the entire Chicago PD is furious. Foxx won’t be able to drive around the block without getting pulled over and ticketed for something, anything.

Even the Illinois Prosecutors Bar Association is blasting her publicly. This entire thing is going to be reopened and the phony plea deal tossed. If Smollet were smart, and he’s not, he’d start displaying some real contrition.

But he won’t and the system will get their payback. One does not publicly humiliate the Mayor and Police Superintendent without paying a price. Not in this town anyway.

Well, we’ll see. The DNC Media will just ignore it hoping it will go away, the same as they did in Virginia.

It isn’t just the “news” they report, it’s the “news” they choose not to report.

Yep, it ain’t about “justice” or those things written down as “laws”, it’s the unwritten laws of power that she broke.

“I dont understand why they picked her.”

She was the Machine choice, dumb as a rock and will do whatever she is told.

They’ve hated her guts from the get go.

February 9: Hoaxed attack with lynching noose.

February 14: Anti-lynching law passed by Senate.

February 18: Head of Time’s Up resigns amid scandal.

Interesting set of apparently connected and colluding characters: Kamala Harris, Kim Foxx, Tina Tchen, Corey Booker, Lisa Borders, Jussie Smollett.

For Democrats in Cook County, the Democratic Primary is usually the whole ballgame and African Americans usually vote as a bloc. 35% of the vote is usually enough to win a nomination in the primary. The entire County Building is now filled with African American officeholders (County Board President, County Clerk, State’s Attorney, Circuit Court Clerk, etc.).

...she dropped charges against Smollett -- alleging that the Hollywood star faked his own hate crime and blamed it on President Trump. Smollett's vanity and recklessness could have touched off racial violence. Instead, it killed Preckwinkle's mayoral ambitions and Foxx's political future. It kills off that Foxx dream of one day becoming a U.S. senator from Illinois, once Dick Durbin is pushed out of the way. Imagine, Kim Foxx, celebrity chaser, hanging out with Kamala Harris and the Obamas... Can you imagine it?
