Soros donated over $400K to prosecutor who dropped charges against Smollett
[World Tribune] A super PAC which backed Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx received $408,000 from leftist billionaire George Soros in 2016, Illinois state campaign finance records show.

Foxx’s office on March 26 announced it was dropping the 16 felony counts in the hate crime hoax case of Jussie Smollett. Foxx’s office explained the decision to drop charges against Smollett by referring to his previous community service.

Soros personally contributed a total of $333,000 to Foxx’s super PAC before the March 15, 2016 primary, and an additional $75,000 after she defeated incumbent Anita Alvarez, state campaign finance records show.

Chicagoist.com reported in 2016 that "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 ... George Soros and a ’dark-money’ group called Civic Participation Action Fund."

Foxx ran on a platform of criminal justice reform, telling local ABC News affiliate WLS-7 that she wanted to focus on "restoring faith in our criminal justice system" and "bridging the divide between the community and law enforcement."

#1 Paid in advance. Takes just a phone call - or a well-placed word - to collect on the investment.

#6 There are few people I would want to drop dead this instant. Soros is at or near the top of that list. So much evil in this world traces back to him.

Does he have a son, to become the Anti-Christ?
