Foxx Sets Off All Legal Bombs in Weeks Before Leaving Office
nov 2
"chicagoans will likely never know the real reasons why Kimberly Foxx bowed out of a third term as top prosecutor.
"the city's corruption is such that the dark inner workings of the city are obfuscated by a carefully, if not ludicrously, maintained wall of deceit by a media machine in collusion with Foxx and her henchmen.
"but for whatever reason the party overlords gave Foxx the message that she can't run again, the clear hope was that Foxx could be replaced with another party member, Clayton Harris, who would not overturn the many stones barely hiding the wholesale corruption of her administration. election chicanery was feared in the tight primary race between Harris and reformer Eileen O'Neill Burke, including a big 'aha' moment when a bunch of ballots were suddenly discovered, but whatever plots may or may not have been hatched by Foxx and Harris's supporters, Burke prevailed and is heavily favored to win in december.
"one scandal after another has exploded in the lame-duck period between when Foxx's acolyte Harris lost and the upcoming election in december. in these dark ages for the city, career prosecutors were tossed aside, now facing civil and criminal trials, offenders let loose from prison, cops facing the arbitrary, politicized maneuvers to be criminalized by Foxx's remaining obedient staff, and an alliance with an equally corrupt media machine vainly trying to make it all seem somehow legitimate in a fog of journalistic babble.
"one Foxx legal bomb went off last week, when Foxx prosecutors refused to contest vacating the conviction of Kevin Jackson for murder. quickly labeled an 'exoneration' and 'wrongful conviction' by Foxx's public relations poodles calling itself the media, Foxx's decision serves several key goals of her war on the system.
"first, the prosecutors in her office who actually sought to do their job by prosecuting offenders like Jackson were thrown further under the Foxx express bus that drives almost 24 hours a day in chicago. it bolsters accusations, equally bogus, that these prosecutors are facing in other cases. further, it opens a pathway to the treasured 'pattern and practice' argument of corruption against detectives and prosecutors, the pattern-and-practice argument in reality the opening of another revenue stream for law firms to make millions from the taxpayers in their incessant lawsuits.
"Foxx's administration now stands as a wasteland of fired prosecutors and other attorneys who simply had enough and walked away from the job after penning parting attacks against Foxx for what she has done to the criminal justice system.
"but there is one unspoken goal of Foxx's last-minute legal bombs being hurled in chicago. Foxx is paving the way to undermine Burke even before she takes office. just as the democrats began illegally ginning up narratives of russia collusion against Donald Trump even before he took office, Foxx is employing the same tactic against Burke. by releasing untold convicted offenders, she is feeding her media allies the narratives they need to generate media pressure against Burke and maintain the war on retired detectives and legitimate prosecutors. A war of attrition, these media dogs will maintain this pressure from Burke's first moments as top prosecutor and attack any attempt by her to instill reason and justice into the exoneration movement. In this media pressure, they will force Burke either into being an ally or silence her in the wake of their multiprong attacks.
Doubt it? Burke should sit down with Anita Alvarez and go through the months of Alvarez's last term.
At the very least, the Chicago media, a unified conspiracy, will drown out Burke's attempts to impose order on Foxx's carefully constructed chaos in a chorus of journalistic malevolence. That chorus will remain until Burke can be replaced by a hack approved by the party. In the meantime, the media and other enemies of a just city will do to Burke what they do every day to the police. Should she remain uncooperative, they will dig deeply into her life and administration to attack her, even if it means making something up.
For Foxx was not created in a vacuum. In order for her to win the top prosecutor's office and be granted the green light to destroy it required a vast sellout of numerous institutions, not just the whorish media. The Chicago City Council, facing massive debt and crime, has mounted no drive to hold Foxx accountable and rubber-stamps the settlements to the exonerated thugs. Many of the city council members are more suited to a top position in North Korea than an elected position in a major American city. The county board is no different, and most of the last governors in the state have joined in the militant movement Foxx represents. Attorneys make a lot of money both accusing prosecutors/detectives and defending them.
And the Department of Justice headed by Merrick Garland?
Please…
Nevertheless, the media is nervous. The latest shit show they have foisted upon the public—the release of Kevin Jackson—bears an unusual anxiety. Whereas once the media and exoneration attorneys could count on Foxx to reflexively release some maniac killer from prison, those days may be coming to an end under Burke. The decision by the Foxx administration not to contest vacating his conviction will come before Burke and the new prosecutors she will bring to the office. No doubt many of these prosecutors are keenly aware of the exoneration modus operandi.
The hubris of the media—the belief that trials, juries, and evidence are mere inconveniences in their quest to destroy virtually everything—shines brightly in the Jackson case. The media, for example, give voice to the defense attorney claim that there is all this "evidence" of witness recants and police misconduct in the case, but largely ignore the fact these claims were already posited in front of the jury and rejected by them. They largely ignore the fact that the accusations against investigators in the case were posited in post-conviction hearings and roundly rejected.
So, will cases like the Kevin Jackson "exoneration" serve Foxx, the media, and Jackson's advocates, or will it become fuel for Burke's real reform and accountability?
"The past is never dead. It's not even past," Faulkner said.
Foxx's past will play a crucial role in Burke's present. She and her prosecutors will have to deal with it.
They face a tough but crucial question: Can Chicago return to the fold of a constitutional republic, or will it remain the central headquarters of its opposition?
Tough days ahead. Tough days, indeed.
