Kim Foxx’s deputy didn’t have authority to drop Smollett charges: emails

[The Purge]

First Assistant State’s Attorney Joseph Magats, the man who decided to drop 16 felony charges against Jussie Smollett, never had the legal authority to act in his boss Kim Foxx’s stead, internal agency correspondence shows.

A trove of documents obtained by The Post and others through a public records request reveal that high ranking members of Foxx’s team sought advice on the legal authority behind her recusal after it was made public on Feb. 19.

Alan Spellberg, the county’s Criminal Appeals Division Supervisor, sent an email to Chief Deputy State’s Attorney and Chief Ethics Officer April Perry and senior adviser Robert Foley on Feb. 20 citing legal precedence behind recusals.

“My conclusion from all of these authorities is that the [sic] while the State’s Attorney has the complete discretion to recuse herself from any matter, she cannot simply direct someone (even the First Assistant) to act in her stead,” Spellberg wrote.

[The Purge]

CHICAGO – Two ranking executives inside the Cook County State’s Attorney's Office have submitted their resignations — including State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s chief ethics officer, April Perry, whom Foxx cited as the person who advised her to “recuse” herself from the Jussie Smollett case that has rocked the Chicago office, Fox News learned Thursday.

Mark Rotert, the director of the office's Conviction Integrity Unit, has also submitted his resignation, according to a Foxx spokesperson. Perry and Rotert are scheduled to work their last days on the job in May.

"While I feel lucky to have been able to spend the last 15 years of my career in public service, I am looking forward to my next endeavor in the private sector where I have the opportunity to continue to work toward increasing the safety of our community," Perry wrote in an April 15 letter obtained by Fox News via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

she's a dumbass --plain and simple
no wonder these cities go to crap with people like her

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Yes. It would be obstruction of justice if Michelle Obama is found to have intervened in the Smollett case on his behalf with Kim Foxx improperly interfering with Obama's blessings.

That was pretty easy to decide.

 

[depotoo]

It was proven she never factually recused herself.

 

[Roudy]

Once again I ask, what did Smollette have on the Obamas that caused Michelle to put it all on the line for such and ask Kim Foxx for this "favor"?

 

[Pilot1]

Ugh! OMG, no wonder why Barack bats for the other team!

 

[Roudy]

It's funny how the Left keeps preaching about "equal justice" yet their leaders are the first people to trample all over it.

 

[Roudy]

Ugh! OMG, no wonder why Barack bats for the other team!

Smollette probably used his "joker card" and placed a call into the Obamas and said, "you get me out of this shit or I'll spill the beans on my sexual relationship with Hussein."

Foxx is a Soros backed stooge, run by the same people that run the Obamas, Valerie Jarrett, Rahm Emmanuel, and the other Chicago goons. Everything Rahm said publicly was opposite to what he actually thought, and did. He was in on this deal, make no mistake in believing what he said publicly.

The Chicago Goon Squad made this happen, and stuck another knife into the concept of justice and that justice is blind. They need to take the blindfold off of Lady Justice in Cook County.

It's also interesting that the all this corruption and travesty of justice always ends up happening in Democratic run cities and states.
