Kim Foxx DID Interfere in Jussie's Case

State’s Attorney Kim Foxx continued to meddle in the Jussie Smollett case after ‘recusing’ herself, calling him a ‘washed up celeb who lied to cops’ and telling the prosecutor she had handed the case over to that he was being overcharged  just two weeks before the case was dropped, new documents have revealed.

In messages sent weeks after she recused herself from the case Foxx wrote to Joe Magats, the prosecutor who she had handed the case over to, and appeared to compare Smollett’s charges to those leveled at another celebrity defendant, R. Kelly.

She said: ‘Pedophile with 4 victims 10 counts.

‘Washed up celeb who lied to cops, 16.’

She was referring to the 16 count grand jury indictment Smollett was hit with for allegedly staging a hoax attack on himself on January 29.

Foxx went on: ‘On a case eligible for deferred prosecution I think it’s indicative of something we should be looking at generally. Just because we can charge something doesn’t mean we should.’

‘Agreed’, Magats replied.

Kim Foxx sent these text messages to her deputy on March 8 after a grand jury indicted Smollett on 16 counts of lying to police. She had already ‘recused’ herself for speaking to Smollett’s family but continued to interfere in the case by telling her deputies that the charges were excessive. The charges were dropped two weeks later 

The case against Smollett, 36, was suddenly and unexpectedly dropped last month by Foxx’s office in questionable circumstances and questions surrounding Foxx’s alleged role in that decision have run rampant since.
