Its very odd..his layer is now shifting the blame onto the supposed fake attackers. Which makes no sense.

Tonight, prosecutor Kim Foxx (who dropped the 16 charges) just told local Chicago TV that she ran on Justice Reform, and was elected to implement a reform of the justice system. Apparently dropping the 16 charges against Jussie is part of her reform plan.

I don't know about other parts of the country, but Chicago politicians really do think the population is stupid. They've been recorded saying so. Obama's chief advisor was recorded saying this on two occasions.

I never said that. What I did say that the fine, to him, is a joke. Since he makes 7 figures annually, a $10,000.00 fine is a joke to him, and similar to an everyday person being charged $10.00. Where did I advocate anything like changing the laws?
Really, get a grip on your paranoia dude. You are the one that lead off with "10k is no joke". To you it's no joke, but to someone making 7+ figures, yes, it is a joke.

The National District Attorneys Association, which claims to represent roughly 2,700 prosecutorsâ offices around the country, heavily criticized Foxx in a statement to Fox News.
âFirst, when a chief prosecutor recuses him or herself, the recusal must apply to the entire office, not just the elected or appointed prosecutor. This is consistent with best practices for prosecutorsâ offices around the country,â the statement began.
It added, âSecond, prosecutors should not take advice from politically connected friends of the accused. Each case should be approached with the goal of justice for victims while protecting the rights of the defendant.
Third, when a prosecutor seeks to resolve a case through diversion or some other alternative to prosecution, it should be done so with an acknowledgement of culpability on the part of the defendant. A case with the consequential effects of Mr. Smollettâs should not be resolved without a finding of guilt or innocence.â
The statement concluded: âFourth, expunging Mr. Smollettâs record at this immediate stage is counter to transparency. Law enforcement will now not be able to acknowledge that Mr. Smollett was indicted and charged with these horrible crimes and the full record of what occurred will be forever hidden from public view.
Finally, we believe strongly that hate crimes should be prosecuted vigorously but the burden of proof should not be artificially increased due to the misguided decisions of others.â

I wonder if KIM FOXX can be prosecuted, or removed from office?
The District Attorneys Association is strongly condemning Kim Foxx's actions..

CHICAGO -- The FBI is reviewing the circumstances surrounding the dismissal of criminal charges against "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett, two law enforcement officials confirmed.
An internal email from the office of Cook County Stateâs Attorney Kim Foxx, obtained by Fox News on Wednesday, asked assistant state's attorneys to dig for any examples to bolster Foxxâs claim that the dropped charges in the Jussie Smollett case werenât as uncommon or shocking as they seemed.
The email read in part, âWe are looking for examples of cases, felony preferable, where we, in (exercising) our discretion, have entered into verbal agreements with defense attorneys to dismiss charges against an offender if certain conditions were met...â
