Embattled Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx yesterday issued a statement reacting to the Special Prosecutor’s decision to re-indict Jussie Smollett, whom Foxx essentially let go. Her statement, from CBS Chicago:
The Cook County State’s Attorney’s office charged Jussie Smollett with multiple counts, and today the Special Prosecutor did the same. What’s questionable here is the James Comey-like timing of that charging decision, just 35 days before an election, which can only be interpreted as the further politicization of the justice system, something voters in the era of Donald Trump should consider offensive.
Is there anything in politics today that somebody somehow won’t tie to Trump?
Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.
She is simply using the old “straw man” type of argument that the Democrats do so well with in Illinois. To me it speaks for the mentality of the Illinois voters who are taken in by these logical fallacies.
What voters should consider offensive is your soft stance on crime, Ms. Foxx.
Kim Foxx is a Cook County Democratic Party slated candidate in the March 17, 2020 primary for the office of Cook County State’s Attorney.
Pull a democratic ticket for the primary and vote for Connely. Then vote in the regular election for whoever is best. We need to dump this goof.
She loves the crime crowd,Go shoot somebody be out by noon.The people love it,She will win again.The harder you are on the tax payer the more the dem voters love it.When illinois can not give free things any longer, that is when chicago will blow up.
