Billionaire and Democrat mega-donor George Soros spent $408,000 on a super PAC affiliated with Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, whose office shocked everyone by dropping charges this week against actor Jussie Smollett.

Smollett was charged with 16 felony counts of lying to police about an alleged hate crime that he blamed on supporters of President Donald Trump.

But Foxx’s office dropped all of the charges against Smollett on Tuesday in defiance of the evidence gathered by police.

That all sounds pretty questionable.

And where there is questionable conduct by a liberal government official, there’s a good chance that Soros is connected somehow.

In 2016, Soros contributed a total of $408,000 toward Illinois Safety & Justice, according to state campaign finance records.

And Illinois Safety & Justice is a super PAC that’s affiliated with Friends for Foxx, the prosecutor’s candidate committee.

It’s not uncommon for Soros to spend ludicrous amounts of money on local elections for far-left candidates.

Last year, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that Soros similarly spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on district attorney races throughout Northern California.

Soros is also known to fund left-wing activists and their organizations.

But in this case, Soros isn’t the only member of the sketchy liberal elite that Foxx has connections to.

During the police investigation of Smollett’s “attack” last month, Foxx was in correspondence with Tina Tchen, former chief of staff to first lady Michelle Obama.

Tchen, who knows the Smollett family, put Foxx in contact with one of Smollett’s relatives. Released text messages between Foxx and the Smollett relative suggest that Foxx tried to rig Smollett’s case to hand him a “huge victory.”

Back on Feb. 1, while Smollett was still officially considered a victim of the attack prosecutors now say he staged, Foxx notified the unidentified relative that she had spoken with Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson about the possibility that the FBI could take over the investigation.

“Spoke to the superintendent earlier, he made the ask,” Foxx texted the relative. “Trying to figure out logistics. I’ll keep you posted.”

“Omg this would be a huge victory,” the Smollett relative replied.

“I make no guarantees, but I’m trying,” Foxx texted back.

These connections and the result of Smollett’s case might be a coincidence, but the suspicious ties between left-wing elites are impossible to ignore.

Here’s a review of the facts: Foxx’s office let Smollett off the hook, and Foxx has ties to liberal elites like far-left donor Soros and an ex-Obama aide who is connected to Smollett’s family.

The evidence seems to point toward an unexpected political cabal surrounding Foxx, which worked in Smollett’s favor.

But that’s for you to decide.
