Things are getting worse for Sen. Kamala Harris is the Jussie Smollett hoax attack case.

As the Chicago police are investigating Smollett for staging the attack Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx has recused herself from the case.

And as the pieces come together many are speculating that the reason for the recusal goes back to Sen. Harris.

“Out of an abundance of caution, the decision to recuse herself was made to address potential questions of impartiality based upon familiarity with potential witnesses in the case,” a spokeswoman for Foxx told ABC News.

But digging further, Foxx’s connections to Harris, which become important later, are revealed.

As the Chicago Tribune reported when Foxx was elected the head of her transition team was one Sen. Kamala Harris.

When the fake Smollett attack happened Harris was one of the first out of the gate to condemn it.

“[email protected] is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know. I’m praying for his quick recovery.

“This was an attempted modern day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate,” she said.

But now that Smollett is widely believed to have staged the attack she, like Sen. Cory Booker who also was quick to rush to judgment, now wants to wait for facts before she comments again.

“I will say this about that case,” Harris said. “I think that the facts are still unfolding, and, um, I’m very, um, concerned about obviously, the initial, um, allegation that he made about what might have happened.”

“And it’s something we should all take seriously whenever anyone, um, alleges that kind of behavior, but there should be an investigation,” she said. “And I think that once the investigation has concluded then we can all comment, but I’m not going to comment until I know the outcome of the investigation.”

But as Harris indicated she knows both Smollett and Foxx well and if there is some connection that would be a good reason for Foxx to recuse herself.

A lot of the speculation on Twitter after the recusal pointed out these connections.
