County judge unleashes on prosecutor as more and more people aren't getting the "Smollett Deal"
[CWBCHICAGO] One of the many topics that Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s office has regularly avoided since abruptly dropping charges against Jussie Smollett on March 26th is this: Could they point to any other occasions when they flat-out dropped felony false police report charges without requiring the accused to at least plead guilty?

It’s an essential question because Joe Magats, the top aide who took over the Smollet case when Foxx "recused" herself insisted that the resolution Smollett enjoyed "is available to all defendants; it's not something out of privilege; it's not something out of clout."

And text messages from Foxx’s top aides released last week show that they were very much aware of a CWBreliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,...
report that found that every other similar Chicago case handled by Foxx ended with a guilty plea and a sentence‐usually of probation with formal community service.

The text messages seem to show that after seeing our report, Foxx’s aides decided to only speak in general terms about the outcomes of all Class 4 felonies, regardless of the specific charge.

In one exchange, aides looked for cases "comparable" to Smollett's, yet they have never issued any for public review. Probably because they couldn't find any.

As recently as Tuesday evening, Foxx again pointed the curious to her office’s voluminous and generic "data portal" rather than to specifics.

#4 Look, it's like this. Black people feel aggrieved from injustice in the past. Now that one of their people is in power, and has the chance to let one her brothers go, she's going to do it. It's payback. The Left calls it social justice. The rest of us call it divisive identity politics.
