Let’s look at this thing realistically. First of all they never planned on charging Jussie Smollett.
Secondly, who is it that would benefit from these charges being dropped just now?
Think of it this way. We just got through going through a weekend where the largest scandal in American history has just been revealed. Can you possibly imagine a better time to drop the charges against Smollett than now to take the heat off of those responsible for that huge scandal?
And who would want to do that?
This is who.
But Kim Foxx has also found two other sources of cash, in the form of twin $300,000 donations to a Super PAC supporting her called Illinois Safety & Justice. The sole donors to the PAC are neoliberal superdonor and conservative-boogeyman George Soros and a “dark-money” group called Civic Participation Action Fund. A Super PAC is a fundraising group, created by the 2010 Supreme Court Citizens United decision, that can raise as much money as they want for any candidate or cause—as long as they don’t coordinate on any level with political campaigns, which have much smaller campaign limits.
Seems to me and even money bet that Mr. Soros pulled a couple of strings to get this done. After all, Kim Foxx owes him. Or perhaps it’s fair to say he owns her.
