Was There an Insurance Policy, I Smell it with Smollett.

      Dropping all 16 charges against Jussy Smollett, has begun a new controversy in Chicago.  Prosecutor Kim Foxx, who has a  reputation for reducing charges in criminal prosecutions, recused herself after being contacted by a former official with ties to Michelle Obama, but then apparently unrecused herself and dropped the charges and quickly sealed the records.  Much money, time, and resources were spent investigating Smollett's original complaint, that a hate crime had been perpetrated against him, $130,000 according to Chicago Police Chief Eddie Johnson.  To the credit of the often maligned Chicago PD, they did a very thorough investigation and discovered that the hate Crime was a fake. Their investigation uncovered that Smollett had thought up the assault and paid the so called assailants $3500, in order to make a higher salary for his role in Empire.  His selfishness will undoubtedly affect the public's belief of others who are true victims of hate crimes.  The Chicago PD and Mayor Rahm Emmanuel are disgusted with Foxx's action. Smollett still proclaims his innocence even though he had to forfeit his 10K bond.  In addition, Smollett's attorney has hinted that she is planning to sue the City of Chicago for the way the police treated and charged her client.
      This all seems part of Obama's effort to reduce prosecution and sentencing.  I have published previous articles on this  It should also be known that George Soros contributed $400,000 to Foxx's campaign in 2016 in which she defeated two other Democrat candidates including the incumbent by a two to one margin.   Soros has also contributed to the anarchist organization Black Lives Matter.
      Fortunately, the FBI has stepped in and will investigate not only Smollett on mail fraud charges, but also the Foxx hijinks.  An effort is also being made to unseal the documents that Foxx sealed so quickly.  The Smollett incident is just another in a long series of crimes that Obama has encouraged including the drug epidemic as Obama comminuted the sentences of 1700 drug dealers and  the Parkland massacre when an Obama administration official reduced school contacts with the police for students with criminal intent.
    Throughout this misadventure, Smollett has remained defiant and denied his obvious culpability.
Why would he do so, when the entire plot was discovered by police and reported nationally?  It  would seem that a quick plea, with no jail time, a fine, and community service might have silenced his critics.  But maybe, just maybe he had an "insurance policy," a get out of jail free card, so to speak.  We all know that Jussie Smollett is not the sharpest crayon in the box, so maybe he didn't dream up this caper by himself.   Maybe he was promised greater roles at another time,  but if in the unlikelihood that he would be caught he knew he had an "insurance policy."   Of course there would be a short passage of time, before a particular Hollywood producer would hire him, but the increase in pay would makeup for the delay.   He could still accept his award from the NAACP (or NAALCP if you choose).  That would certainly explain his arrogance and defiance in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
      What they didn't count on was the FBI coming in and launching both a probe of corruption involving Kim Foxx and mail fraud involving Smollett. He might indeed still have to plead guilty in order to get a fine and community service.  For Kim Foxx, her future could be in doubt.  She better start deleting emails and loosing any incriminating evidence.  She should ask Hillary Clinton for advice.
