Special Prosecutor Releases Full Report on Investigation of Soros-Backed Prosecutor in Jussie Smollett Case

I guess, I missed those troubling aspects of this case before. Admittedly, I was not following this Smollett case very close anyway!

As a side note, the article below and my brief Google search for the special prosecutor's final report came up only with a PDF file that was poorly done. In both sources, the document was scanned as an image,so one can not easily copy and past text passages of interest! This is lousy!

However, this is schocking how blind justice was turned into racially motivated justice! When prosecutors follow political instructions, justice is denied!

"There was suspicion of political interference, after Tina Tchen, a former aide to First Lady Michelle Obama, reached out to the prosecution on behalf of the Smollett family. Judge Michael Toomin ordered a special prosecutor to intervene, both to take up the Smollett case and to investigate Foxx and her subordinates at the Cook County State Attorney’s Office.
Last year, a 12-page summary of the summary was released, in which Webb revealed that while there were abuses of discretion and possible ethical breaches by Foxx and her office, especially in misleading the public about key facts like Smollett’s past criminal record, there had been no criminal violations and Tchen’s intervention had not been decisive.

The full 60-page summary provides the evidentiary basis for the shorter 12-page version. It includes details of interviews with Foxx and Tchen, as well as others involved, and refers to text messages and other bases for the report’s conclusions. ...

Some of the additional details include confirmation of earlier reports that Foxx’s office declined to notify Chicago Police Department Superintendent Eddie Johnson that it was dropping charges against Smollett. Johnson had been vocal in public about his disgust with Smollett’s evident attempt to fake a hate crime, wasting resources and diminishing real racism.

The full report also provides further detail about Foxx’s false statements that Smollett had no prior criminal record — when, as the 12-page report said, “a prior misdemeanor conviction out of California from September 22, 2007 for DUI, driving without a license, and giving false information to the police, for which he was placed on 24 months of probation.” The full 60-page report adds that false statements about Smollett’s record were “particularly troubling” because his prior conviction “related, in part, to making a false statement to police,” and was therefore similar to the present case in Chicago. ..."

Special Prosecutor Releases Full Report on Investigation of Soros-Backed Prosecutor in Jussie Smollett Case The office of Special Prosecutor Dan Webb released its full 60-page “summary report” Monday afternoon of its investigation into the office of Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx over her improper handling of the Jussie Smollett case in 2019.

Bravo President Trump! Go after this phony, fraudulent, and partisan prosecutor!

Her JD from Harvard University should be rescinded!

She should be debarred by the American Bar Association ASAP!

Faulty US Intel Report on Khashoggi Death Meant to Topple Saudi Crown Prince, Woo Iran

Recommendable! I agree with much of what is contained in this opinion piece. The main question is why would the crown prince take on such an enormous risk to get rid of a journalist by killing him? 

This so called short report does not contain any evidence! Almost all of it is rather speculative and amateurish! The only link to MBS mentioned is that the alleged members of the team that supposedly captured and/or killed Kashoggi (his body was never recovered) were closely associated with MBS.

"... So, when the CIA authors a report on the death of a Saudi journalist at the hands of Saudi henchmen, it isn’t surprising that the report, issued by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), fingers Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. What is surprising that the report on the murder of Jamal Khashoggi is just three-quarters of a page of amateurish innuendo. ...
We don’t know whether the crown prince ordered Khashoggi’s murder, or ordered his capture, or ordered anything at all. ...
The report is more an indictment of the politicization of the CIA than a document that tells the government anything worthwhile about Saudi Arabia. ...
And even if we did know for sure, why would we seek to create a political crisis in Saudi Arabia, an important ally, and a major oil producer? ...

In fact, the report was released by the administration to topple the crown prince from power. It doesn’t matter whether the report is credible—it matters that President Joe Biden says it is. And it matters that it works in favor of Iran. Biden is on a “charm offensive” to woo the Iranians back into negotiations over a new pact on the Iranian nuclear program. The Iranians expect to be paid in advance and undermining Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is a hot ticket. ...

Therefore, the report is best understood in context with other reckless moves by the Biden administration: “freezing” arms sales to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, halting intelligence assistance to the Arab Coalition opposing the Houthis, removing the Houthis from the terror list, ...

Biden’s delay in calling Israel’s prime minister is part of the same policy, as is significant backtracking on reaffirming U.S. policy over Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights and undermining the Abraham Accords by halting the sale of F-35s to the UAE. ...
Even while President Donald Trump was in office, John Kerry was meeting with Iran’s foreign minister, working out the framework of a deal once Biden was elected. While this most certainly was a violation of the Logan Act ..."

Some excerpts from the 4 pages report:

"... Since 2017, the Crown Prince has had absolute control of the Kingdom's security and intelligence organizations, making it highly unlikely that Saudi officials would have carried out an operation of this nature without the Crown Prince's authorization. ...

At the time of the Khashoggi murder, the Crown Prince probably fostered an environment in which aides were afraid that failure to complete assigned tasks might result in him firing or arresting them. This suggests that the aides were unlikely to question Muhammad bin Salman's orders or undertake sensitive actions without his consent. ...
The IS-member Saudi team that arrived in Istanbul on 2 October 2018 included officials who worked for, or were associated with, the Saudi Center for Studies and Media Affairs (CSMARC) at the Royal Court. At the time of the operation, CSMARC was led by Saud al-Qahtani, a close adviser of Muhammad bin Salman ...

The team also included seven members of Muhammad bin Salman's elite personal protective detail, known as the Rapid Intervention Force (RIF). The RIF-a subset of the Saudi Royal Guard-exists to defend the Crown Prince, answers only to him, and had directly participated in earlier dissident suppression operations in the Kingdom and abroad at the Crown Prince's direction. We judge that members of the RIF would not have

participated in the operation against Khashoggi without Muhammad bin Salman's approval. ...

We have high confidence that the following individuals participated in, ordered, or were otherwise complicit in or responsible for the death of Jamal Khashoggi on behalf of Muhammad bin Salman. We do not know whether these individuals knew in advance that the operation would result

in Khashoggi's death. ..."
