The special prosecutor assigned to investigate the handling of the Jussie Smollett case says Chicago’s top prosecutor, Kim Foxx, engaged in “substantial abuses” in letting the actor go free.
“The [Office of the Special Prosecutor] did develop evidence that establishes substantial abuses of discretion and operational failures by the [Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office] in prosecuting and resolving the Initial Smollett Case,” wrote Dan Webb — who was tapped by Chicago Judge Michael Toomin to re-probe the case — in a statement Monday.
Shortly after the Chicago Police Department found Smollett allegedly faked a hate crime against himself and threw him in jail, the charges against the former “Empire” TV star were suddenly dropped by Foxx’s office — a move that raised questions about ethical misdeeds and illegal actions.
Toomin then ruled the case was rife with “unprecedented irregularities” and assigned Webb, a private lawyer, to re-probe the case and determine whether Smollett deserved fresh charges and if Foxx acted improperly or illegally.
Smollett was slapped with new charges earlier this year, but the investigation into Foxx didn’t wrap up until Monday, Webb said.
His office found that Foxx didn’t do anything illegal but said there were five instances of abuse committed by her office, including dropping the charges without cause, making misleading and dishonest statements to the public and speaking with Smollett’s family members in the midst of a criminal investigation.

So she skates.......
Of course she did. I wouldn't expect anything less from this affirmative action Soros puppet.
Leftist DA crime nullification, that simple.
“Yeah but we in charge so we can let him go,... we only prosecute republicans.”
And?
substantial abuses of discretion and operational failures
But there is no remedy at law for that.
"There is something to see. You may look briefly, but then you must move on."
Mistakes were made....no reasonable prosecutor.
Yeah, we’ve heard this crappola before.
Wanna know why..because Kamala Harris told her to make sure that Smollett gets off..why, because Harris and Smollett worked together on the phony race attack hoax..check their text messages, emails, you will see the connection
The Smolletts have also been outspoken politically and, since their school years, devoted to causes like H.I.V./AIDS prevention and ending apartheid. They were raised in the orbit of the Black Panthers and, lately, have lent their voices to the Black Lives Matter movement. Their trajectory, from child stars to successful adults, is born of their family and its history of activism.
“Their sense of justice is very strong, and it permeates everything that they do,” said Alfre Woodard, who has known Jussie and Jurnee since they were children; they worked with her at the nonprofit Artists for a New South Africa. “They’re like a model sibling unit. They look out for each other, all the time. And they all reach across and say, ‘O.K., I got my foot in this door; here, grab my hand, we’re going in together.’”
So what are the consequences of “substantial abuses”... can she be fired?
Well let's see... consequences.. Incompetence, favoritism, illegality conducted by an Affirmative Action libtard Demonic Party assclown is usually grounds for scumbag enemedia accolades, heaps of praise by other vile POS Demonic Party nimrods and promotion to higher political office.
Webb donated 1000 bucks to Foxx
Why the heck are these NOT illegal?
Kim Foxx is a identity politics placeholder. An empty pant suit if there ever was one.
Throw up!
You have a good memory. Kamala Harris was on the case until it all unraveled and then she pivoted and changed the subject.
Corey Booker was also tagging along until the hoax fizzled.
Yep she is the one that ran to the TV to get her anti lynching bill voted on..she had a big reason to help with the hoax..follow the text messages/email/phone calls
