I am not sure if this is a smoking gun, but if you are reaching out to Prosecutor directly to help you and then that prosecution office drops all the charges against you, it is going to look a little funny in the light.
Here is what happened via TMZ.
Jussie Smollett had pals of his in the Cook County State’s Attorney’s ear early on in his case — and, based on leaked correspondence, it looks like she acted on his behalf.
Texts and emails between State Attorney Kim Foxx and two Jussie allies — one of which is reported to be a family member of his — have been leaked, and they show that Foxx was asked to intervene in the case a few days after he’d reported the alleged attack to Chicago PD. It appears that she did exactly that … and kept Jussie’s camp in the loop.
Later, Foxx recused herself from the case when Jussie became a suspect. And, of course, her office just announced Tuesday that it was dropping all of the charges against Jussie, after coming out strong with a 16-count indictment just weeks earlier.
Her official reasoning for dropping the charges … Jussie has done community service in the community, so we’re good. Her office asked a judge to seal the case, and they obliged. Mayor Rahm Emanuel strongly hinted at corruption in the State’s Attorney’s Office.
The story gets wilder by the day.
