Cook County States Attorney Kim Foxx never formally recused herself from the Jussie Smollett case ― contrary to the Chicago prosecutors public announcement that she had done so ― a spokesperson for the prosecutor confirms.
In a statement Wednesday, Cook County States Attorney spox Kiera Ellis said Foxx did not formally recuse herself or the [States Attorney] Office based on any actual conflict of interest. As a result, she did not have to seek the appointment of a special prosecutor.
According to Ellis, Foxxs announcement that she had recused herself was a colloquial use of the term rather than in its legal sense.
Instead, in an abundance of caution, Fox informally separated herself from the decision-making over the case and left it to her Assistants, as happens in 99.9% of all cases handled by the Office, the spokesperson added.
Prosecutors abruptly dropped all charges against Jussie Smollett on Tuesday after the Empire actor accused of faking a racist, anti-gay attack on himself agreed to let the city keep his $10,000 in bail. However, he maintained his innocence and insisted he was attacked.

I can confirm via DOJ and FBI sources that DOJ and FBI is taking a peek into why #JussieSmollett was given the sweetheart deal.

This idiot has the FBI and DOJ looking into him :)
I sending yourself a hate crime letter breaking some kind of Federal law?
Or are they looking into Michelle’s friend giving a hand?
The DOJ and FBI will NEVER prosecute a gay black Trump-hating celebrity.

Yes, especially when you include some unknown white powder.
You’d think Crook County would have learned a lesson from Watergate....
Did he?!?!
What a dope.
He also lied and said he was his brother when he got pulled over for DUI.
He ain’t heavy... :)

“REPORT: An unnamed source close to Kim Foxx says the reason she dropped charges against Smollett was because his phone records showed over 200 calls and texts from Kamala Harris and DNC operatives”

These tweets are all just hearsay. For what they are worth.
It does NOT matter if Kim Foxx filed recusal paperwork or not. HER VERBAL RECUSAL IS LEGALLY BINDING JUST AS A VERBAL CONTRACT IS.
They might now!
Are we sure Smollett isn't one of Obama's sons?
They couldn’t be that stupid as to get involved in this mess.
Could they?
lol
This deal with Jussey is a T-Ball freebie for the local FBI and U.S. Attorney.
Hope that can score several convictions on this lying hoax.

CHICAGO (FOX 32) - Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx has >>>officially<<< recused herself from the Jussie Smollett case, according to Chicago police.
(apparently “officially” is not “formally,” got it.)
.
They couldnt be that stupid as to get involved in this mess.
Could they?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sure they could. All of obamas people went after candidate Trump because they were so sure hildabeast would lose.
True.
Next time I get called into court I’m sure if I don’t “officially” AND “formally” tell a lie, it’s all good... Right?
Oh. Good. The. FIB. Is. On. The. Job.
"I skipped law class the day they taught penalizing multiple felonies. I was getting my nails done."
Chicago columnists blasted Kim Foxx's decision to drop the 16 felony counts against hoaxer Smollett. Chicago police union called for a federal investigation into Kim Foxxs handling of the case.....her sub rosa actions on the Smollett familys behalf after she was contacted by Tina Tchen, Michelle Obama's onetime aide. Amateur hour is over. ....this is nothing new for Kim Foxx. Weve been complaining about her for two years on so many levels. Her office is just completely out of control.
Equally reprehensible are the idiots at Southern Illinois University School of Law who gave her a law degree. And those at Southern Illinois University Carbondale who let her out.
