Investigating the investigation of the investigation?

It’s turtles all the way down.

I hear muledeer is available. He could use his sidekick comey. Bet they don’t find proof of innocence, but nothing they could take to a grand jury. So says Karnack. :-)

“Judge orders special prosecutor be appointed to look into Jussie Smollett controversy”

I would think you’d look into the case and whether it was a hoax, etc. and not the controversy. F-— the controversy.

RE:”In a surprise move, a Cook County judge ordered the appointment of a special prosecutor Friday to investigate the controversial decision to drop all charges against Jussie Smollett.”

A judge can hire a prosecutor ??

The Judge gets to appoint the special prosecutor. From this article about Judge Toomin, perhaps this investigation will be done right. From 2012:

THE JUDGE WHO KNOWS ABOUT GOING BAD

Opening lines of the article:

"Back in the days when Judge Michael P. Toomin sat on the bench in Cook County – before he became a presiding judge working out of an administrative office – reporters noted the things that defined his courtroom.

There were, behind him, the framed copies of the Magna Carta, the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

There were United States and Marine Corps flags flanking him.

It’s not a “controversy”. It’s a fake “hate crime” designed to start race riots. Smollett needs to go to prison.

There seems to be something amiss about these prosecutors who want to promote diversity and restorative justice rather than simply upholding their oaths and prosecuting criminals. Take a look at another prosecutor (Marilyn Hite Ross) in another Illinois county:

10:05 AM PT — Kim Foxx responded to the order, saying, “I respectfully disagree with the court’s conclusion that, in the absence of any conflict, the appointment of a special prosecutor is required.”

She continued, “As always, I remain committed to transparency, justice, and the public safety of the communities we serve.”

The special prosecutor could end up charging Smollett, Toomin said, and if the investigation uncovers suspicion of wrongdoing by others, additional charges could be brought. Toomin made the decision even though the county’s inspector general’s office is already investigating the decision by State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s office to look into the controversy. Foxx herself, however, agreed to that probe.

HooRah.

The Obama’s are not going to like this.

My arse would have been sitting in some dark hole by now for doing something like what he did.

Yes, there is overt racism these days. Almost anyone can spot it.
