And, BOOM.

Thousands of text message and emails were released by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office last night and let’s just say they don’t paint Kim Foxx in a very good light:

State's attorney Kim Foxx dumps thousands of pages of Jussie Smollett documents. Top aide calls CPD detectives "the worst" as he falsely accuses them of leaking info to CWBChicago.

Local Chicago journo Rafer Weigel sums it up, noting that this shows pretty clearly that Foxx never really ever recused herself from the Jussie Smollett investigation:

Thread: (1/5) Newly released texts and emails show SA Kim Foxx was very much involved in #jussiesmollett case and not at all “recused”. Foxx and her staff paid very close attention to all media reports written about the case, sharing articles via text. — Rafer Weigel (@RaferWeigel) April 17, 2019

She also referred to Smollett as a “washed up” celebrity. LOL:

(2:5) Foxx: “Sooo….I’m recused, but when people accuse us of overcharging…16 counts on a class 4 felony becomes exhibit A. Pedophile with 4 victims 10 counts [#RKelly]. Washed up celeb who lied to cops, 16. (Cont). — Rafer Weigel (@RaferWeigel) April 17, 2019

(3/5) More from Foxx on #jussiesmollett: “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 someone doesn’t mean we should.” (Cont) — Rafer Weigel (@RaferWeigel) April 17, 2019

(4/5) Foxx ASA responds: “I’ll get with Risa [Lanier] and Jim. With him taking over we can take a hard look at how we charge the cases and get it to something that covers what needs to be covered without being excessive and ultimately pointless. — Rafer Weigel (@RaferWeigel) April 17, 2019

She also mocked Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson after she dismissed the charges without giving him a head’s up:

(5/5) On the day Kim Foxx drops the charges on #Smollett she laughs over Supt Johnson’s confusion: “Eddie just called…Lol! He’s a the police recruit event. Needed to know how to answer questions from press…He was told we were just dropping the charges.” — Rafer Weigel (@RaferWeigel) April 17, 2019

And what might possibly be worse for Foxx is that this taints her prosecution of R. Kelly, which R. Kelly lawyer Steve Greenberg happily pointed out:

I am sorry to say that the way @SAKimFoxx refers to @rkelly shows she lets her past influence her objectivity and that she is just ignorant as to her role and how the process works — Steve Greenberg (@SGcrimlaw) April 17, 2019

And believe it or not, Michael Avenatti even showed up in the document dump:

Really! Since when do Assistant State’s Attorneys hand out the top prosecutor’s phone number. “…….. so Michael Avenatti reached out. Apparently he’s coming in to represent the Nigerian brothers in Smollet. I gave him your office number,” Magats wrote. @rkelly — Steve Greenberg (@SGcrimlaw) April 17, 2019
