Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx has been working a lot of overtime as of late. She first covered for hate crime hoaxer Jussie Smollett, enraging Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the entire Chicago police force by unilaterally dropping all 16 felony charges against the disgraced, lying actor. She is now forced to do damage control to salvage her own career.

Last Friday, Foxx published a defense of her controversial call to drop the case against Smollett in the Chicago Tribune. Her defense relied mostly on garbage platitudes about fearmongering and blaming the police. She refused to address the fact that she colluded with Tina Tchen, Michelle Obama’s former chief of staff, who was working to exonerate Smollett, 13 days prior to “colloquially” recusing herself from the investigation. It’s mostly a worthless read, except for one interesting insight that explains why Foxx is fundamentally unfit to lead any prosecutor’s office, let alone one as important as Cook County’s.
