Special Prosecutor
- A Cook County judge on Friday ordered the surprise appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the sudden dismissal of all charges against Jussie Smollett, saying the short-lived prosecution may have been legally invalid from the beginning.
Judge Michael Toomin ruled that State’s Attorney Kim Foxx had the right to withdraw herself from overseeing the prosecution of the onetime “Empire” actor but held no legal authority to then delegate that responsibility to her top deputy.
With the deputy holding no real authority, the Smollett case made its way through the court system without a prosecutor at the helm, the veteran judge said.
“There was no master on the bridge to guide the ship as it floundered through uncharted waters, and it ultimately lost its bearings,” Toomin wrote in the 21-page opinion. “… The unprecedented irregularities identified in this case warrants the appointment of independent counsel to restore the public’s confidence in the integrity of our criminal justice system.”
Some high powered legal minds think this is an entire "do over" for the case since there was no actual States Attorney in charge except the one who had "recused" herself. That means a Grand Jury and charges. And this time, there better be a "guilty" plea to negate the inevitable lawsuit over "The police are picking on me" lawsuit that is sure to come.
This really ought to be before the ARDC for possible disbarment of Crimesha and before the County Board for removal from office.

Disbar the Bitch, and let's move on.
Terrible legal shit in Chicago. A case without a captain!
Indeed!
Fucking legalistic FUBAR
Useless.
The A.G. has first right to be the Special Prosecutor.
Kwame will cover it up.
Crook County.
The fix WAS in.
Let's see what happens this time.
The former case was a travesty and an insult
to the Justice System.
Certain people in authority need to be held
accountable and disbarred.
“… The unprecedented irregularities identified in this case warrants the appointment of independent counsel to restore the public’s confidence in the integrity of our criminal justice system.” HAHAHAHA! It's going to take a hell of a lot more than appointment of an independent counsel to restore my faith in the Crook County "justice" system. I doubt they'll ever be able to restore my faith.
It's an embarrassment and a joke.
This case is going NO WHERE! Nothing will happen! We will be stuck with this terrible people and folks States Attorney until the end of her term and given recent behavior of the voters she will probably get re-elected! Unless they are going to try the democratic party of the state of Illinois then the outcome will be NONSENSE!
Somebody better throw their hat in the race, its less than a year before the primary. We shall also see if little man openly endorses someone against Foxx.
Yeah, it'l never happen.... not here in crook county.
The complaint was filed, by me, on March 20th after the FOP decided to play a waiting game with the feds.

Smollet goes all the way back to the Obamas. Jussie is personal friend of Michelle and Michelle's Chief of Staff, attorney Tina Tchen -who served as Assistant to President Barack Obama; Chief of Staff to First Lady Michelle Obama and served on Board of Chicago Bar assoc interviened personally on behalf of Jussie to Kimm Foxx to drop charges. Many photos exist of Jussie and michelle together. Jussie is also pals with Kamala Harris, who was introducing Anti-Lynching Bill with Corey Booker when Jussie committed his crime spree. Booker and Harris are Presidential candidates for the Democratic Party.
Kim Foxx recieved $400k for her election from George Soros and his Restorative Justice initiative to place disgruntled racist District Attorney's in Office in majot cities. Kim Foxx was awarded with a walk on the Red Carpet at the Oscars for her role in aborting Justice. The same George Soros also partnered with Mastercard to fund the wave of Illegal immigration that are currently overwhelming Public budgets with free housing, healthcare, education and food.
The stakes of the Jussie Smollet retrial could not have larger implications for some very big Players. If enough pressure is applied to the obviously dim Smollet, he may just crack and name his handlers; we can only hope.
She said her only motive in spearheading the effort was to ensure respect for the law.
“Somebody had to do this. Who was going to do this?” she told a throng of reporters in the lobby of the Leighton Criminal Court Building. “I had time and a typewriter, and here we are.”
(FYI, Her husband is Judge Wayne Swanson who worked for Jim Edgar.)
Crimesha gets burned by her former ethics officer:
After questions were raised within the office about the legitimacy of Foxx’s recusal from the Smollett case, Perry revealed in her statement Friday, she advised Joseph Magats, Foxx’s first assistant who had been named by Foxx to head up the Smollett prosecution after her recusal, to seek a special prosecutor.
But Magats told her that Foxx had decided a special prosecutor should not be sought, Perry said.
“It is a Chief Ethics Officer’s job to provide the best advice and guidance possible based upon the facts given to her at the time," Perry’s emailed statement said. “Sometimes that advice is followed, sometimes it is not.”

oh damn, and just when everybody was forgetting about it! oh well theres always ann burkes job. where did i leave the red phone with soro s direct number on it....................
Smollett has not only ruined his "own" career, he ruined the "Empire" show, he ruined "Kim Foxx, the brothers involved in his bullshit scheme and any other person hes been in touch with. The other bitch (white house) Tina Tchen has the fuckin nerve to get involved and It just goes to show if your not Rich, Politically connected then you have NO chance in the system that continues to fail this country and (esp this city). Kimm Cabrini Foxx recuses herself, puts in a bullshit "ASA" in her place and now Blames her "Chief Ethics Officer" for the case?? Are you fucking kidding me? Your the states attorney in charge...you make all the decisions..so now your going to take the fall for a piece of shit. Hopefully, this is the beginning of the end for you Foxx...get the fuck out of office! Truth and honesty will prevail. The only way to restore faith in our courts is get rid of Foxx, the Judges and Prickwinkle.
Well here we go....after the Smollett case, Foxx goes on National TV and says that this case was no different than others in that he was treated the same way that "OTHER" cases were done in the same manner...SO, if the judge finds that Foxx did not handle this case appropriately and a special prosecutor now needs to go in and clean up her mess...Perhaps her office needs to be investigated and find out just how many other cases were treated unprofessionally and covered up. The judge slams FOXX in how she handled the case all wrong but yet no repercussion?
How about Dick Divine for special prosecutor? How about Daley? Watch them pick the most ridiculous special prosecutor they can find.
Lil Jon is really clueless. A legal amateur should have known that.
Will it take two years for the redo? Double down on the fix? I think yes, look who/what will pick the special prosecutor and the pressure from the powers that be. Kimm gets hand pat and a caution to be more covert in her restorative justice moves, Jussie gets deferred adjudication with a larger fine and more 'munity service at the rainbow club outreach center.
Restore public confidence? In what.
She is still holding on to that "thousands of other cases" bullshit? NO other case ended without a finding or declaration of guilt. She really needs to just shut up from now on. I guess whoever told her that she ignores too. Anybody want a good laugh just go to her twitter account. She gets torn to shreds. Whoever runs that for her too is probably next to go lol.
Damn straight this whole thing should be before the ARDC. Another poster out there stated that there was complaint filed with the ARDC, then we never heard from him again. Where ya been, my friend?
FWIW, the ARDC does not move at light speed. Probably took them a couple weeks to digest the initial complaint. Then, they would send a copy of the complaint out to Crimesha for her response, and probably give her 2-4 weeks to respond.
isn't he the same rascal who order a special prosector for the fat head nephew. jerk did virtually no time in jail.
Don't expect anything earth shattering here.
To Fixx , Barry O and the other appointed ghetto rats Fuck You !
16 lies and a cover up!! 16 lies and a cover up!!
Kimberly Foxx has no other place to go now; other than back to the Chicago Housing Authority Cabrini Green Public Housing: 900 block North Cambridge Ave in the roll houses now that the "reds and the whites", high rises were knocked down.....STOP this progressive movement infiltrate our local government...
O'Brien for States Attorney. Then Cook County prez!
Anyone can make a complaint to the ARDC. Let's make multiple.
Rumor has it that Mike Hood (good judge in Skokie former Asa supervisor) is considering a run against Foxx.
Nothing will change. This is all bs.
This case had the stank of Cook County all over it from the get-go and it included the dismal decision making and interference of Jugghaid SpecialEd.
Remember, he had to be told how to respond and I wouldn’t be surprised he was advised to cease the investigation somewhere in between.
Disbarring KmmmFxxxUp is a start, but will likely be spared unless there’s another Cook Co town that can use a corrupt politician w/o any credible law or integrity background.
2020 will be interesting to watch the dismantling of the Prickwrinkle Inc empire.
20/25 years ago I myself use to "dup" assignments to another beat,"was that wrong?"
Excuse me but don't everyone get excited over this. The key to Judge Tumem's naming a special prosecutor is this: WHO WILL BE THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR? Will it be someone who will not be influence by the Democratic Party or will it be a democratic insider who will sweep it under the rug. If he names a person who is truly independent from the Democratic Party then it should be interesting. If he names a political hack then it is a waist of time and Kimmy gets to go on and run for Durbin's senate seat.
They were announcing celebrity birthdays the other day on a NYC radio station and Jussie was one of them. A year ago his name you have never been mentioned. Guess his little plan has worked for now.
Former judge O'Brien is my hero.
Obviously she did not know that when she recused herself she recused the entire office of the State's Attorney. Therefore, as Judge Toomin says, the ship is rudderless. Of course this moron with the Cracker Jack law degree is totally at sea.
I know I've seen her in a movie before, but I just can't put my finger on the title.
Who appoints the special prosecutor? Can’t find the info anyplace.
Maybe they can get it right the SECOND time ...
or not.
At the absolute very least an admission by Jussie needs to come out of this.
This also needs to shine a bright spotlight on Kimmie and her incompetence and racist attitude.
"I had NOTHING to do with this, I was only the one in charge.'
Bye bye
so now your going to take the fall for a piece of shit. Hopefully, this is the beginning of the end for you Foxx.

The cover-up becomes worse than the crime. Fuck Crimesha and Juicie. Hopefully this new turn of events leads to the undoing of them both.
Complaints were filed with the ARDC on Foxx and Magats. They should also be charged with Official Misconduct for concocting and implementing the illegal plea deal.
They will appoint a special prosecutor who is in with the democratic party and the whol thing will be covered up and they can see, a special prosecutor said we were correct.
Maybe appoint Eric Holder, Obama's wing man?
in her sleep, Judge O'Brien would make a far better State's Attorney
Don’t get too excited as a matter of fact don’t get excited at all this is just another bunch of bullshit, the states attorney who does absolutely nothing for the hard-working taxpaying people in the city of Chicago will not be sanctioned nothing will happen to her and her bullshit people that are around her nothing will happen. However again the people who are able the taxpayers will be again forced to pay for this circus no wonder why we had the most corrupt city state county in the entire United States of America and a federal authorities are doing what again?
Oh Jussie...... u got more splainin to do.
Will Tchen reach out to the special prosecutor to ask for preferential treatment for Juicy?
You can't say it was a mistrial because he never
had a trial. He was indicted by a grand jury.
Talk about a total mockery. The attorneys played
leap frog and Actor Dude Inc. walked free.
The Clintons are so skilled in evading Justice, this
turned out to be a cake walk for Jussie.

Thank you for doing so.
If the people we elected, entrusted and paid to provide services fail to do their job of meting out Justice than the Public will need to handle it extrajudicially. If Kim and Kwame don't care for the Laws and duties they are sworn to execute, than they need to contact Legislators to change the Laws. We call this anarchy and leads to chaos.
I hope this push for anarchy doesn't backfire on George Soros and his financiers. Again.
Disbarment should be the least of her worries. Hopefully feds get involved.
A great new show on NBC - Chicago Fire, then Chicago P.D. now Chicago States Attorney. Who will play SA Kimmm Foxxx? Jussie and Jesse can play themselves.
Apparently this was a concerted effort to reveal Foxx’s incompetence and to embarrass Toni P. The old Lyons/Joyce wing of the party is alive and well. Look for Tommy D. to change his allegiance. He may be the new George Dunne. The young Irish are coming and the old ward healers are on the way out. Lori is just visiting.
They won't prosecute Justice Jussie. Too close to the Obama's and their clout. Maybe we should put a republican special prosecutor and see how it works out.
Kwamass' been exceptionally quiet. Am greatly disturbed by the silence as it can only mean destructive plottong and planning.
Even Lake County people as far north as waukegan want fixitt indicted and disbarred.
She would look great in orange jumpsuits along with lightbrain.
Should be a slam dunk case. Statute is clear that a "recusal" recuses the entire office and requires a special prosecutor. But it's Illannoy so who the fuck knows. Where are all the liberals worried about money in politics on George Soros dropping half a mill on a piece of crap like Foxx? Restorative justice my big white ass.
Spell check got me again. I meant to say "Lil Kim" . I do have to improve on my oroofreading skills.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Judge O’Brien for mayor, why didn’t Rahmn take the action as O’Brien did?
"...She was in a movie before. I just can't put my finger on the title..."
I did an IMD on her. She was in Snakes On A Plane, credited as Snake No. 47.

Rumor is: Magats wore a wire.
They should give Jussie and Maggot the same treatment they gave Flyn and Manafort.

That likely won't help Magats, since he signed off on the illegal deal, and sandbagged the Judge into approving it. Wearing a (Fed) wire doesn't necessarily save you from State criminal charges for Official Misconduct and being an accessory to Foxx's misconduct. Once he had audio of Foxx's misconduct, he should have headed for the nearest emergency exit. Moreover, Magats had a legal duty as an attorney to report Foxx's misconduct to the ARDC; time will tell if that ever happened. I'm not betting on it.

One of the Muppets could play Kim Fixx. Can’t remember the name of the Muppet but she has messy hair and looks all around sloppy like Kim. Not very bright either.
I don't think anybody needs a "concerted effort" to make foxx look like a dumbass.

Rumor has it that Mike Hood (good judge in Skokie former Asa supervisor) is considering a run against Foxx.
6/22/2019 09:06:00 AM
That would let us all know that there is a god in heaven. I’m not getting my hopes up though, I do not know who would want the headache. He is a sitting judge, not a bad spot out in Skokie, with a different pension. Although he has county and state time built up. It will be interesting to see if this rumor is true. To everyone reading, the Honorable Judge Michael Hood is a fair, compassionate, and has great integrity. It does not matter what side of the law you fall on, Judge Hood is fair. One can only hope.
