Clarify please: Didn't Kim Foxx recuse herself from the Smollett case early on, because she was friends with him and his family?
I am keeping my fingers crossed the Feds scoop him up for the Anthrax hoax AKA Postal fraud and sending a dangerous substance through the mail (even though it turned out to be fake, it still counts)

A more interesting avatar pic would have been a black woman as the gagged and bound status of liberty.

Nope - said she would - but never did.
Foxx recused herself from the case last month after revealing she had contact with Smollett's representatives early on in the investigation. She declined to provide details at the time. Communications later released to the Tribune, however, showed Foxx had asked Superintendent Eddie Johnson to turn over the investigation to the FBI after she was approached by a politically connected lawyer about the case.

It sure doesn't seem like she recused herself... but this Chicago Tribune article says that she did (published less than 2 hours ago) www.chicagotribune.com...:

Ties to the senators supporting that lynching law?
That is the rumor I've heard. It is definitely someone very high up. I mean to go over Rahm Emmanuels head means it is someone on another level of power and influence. Rahm is not a two bit mayor of a backwater town. He is tied into the White House, so the list of folks with more power/influence over him is not that long....
Great point. Rahm is pretty high up the chain of command, and for him to be blindsided I think really pissed him off. He's not a guy who's used to having the wool pulled over his eyes. So if he didn't know about this...it must have originated REALLY high up...
Exactly my point. All over a D List actor the vast majority of people never even heard of before this case.
Who would risk career/political blow back to help this loser unless he really had someone by the short hairs or the investigation/prosecution would expose someone who doesn't want sun light on them.
