It is kinda like some defense companies that lose a major competitive bid even when they know they offered an inferior bid. They often go straight to an official protest mode against the government’s selection.
To do otherwise is to admit you had an inferior offering. So they at least rattle their briefcases and talk tough but then pull back once they realize all the ugliness that will result.
What these ‘professionals’ don’t understand is that the public appearance of justice is as important as the application of it. Fail on both fronts by Foxx.
So is the government-imposed 'protected class, " Affirmative Action", ’ Quotas " and ‘diversity’ that qualifies morons for special protection by a law.
You probably think the grand jury that passed the charges are also fucking hilarious.
Perhaps all the mueller charges should have also been dismissed as fucking hilarious.
Oh wait, one was a liberal asshole while the other related to the right. The disparity is fucking hilarious.prosecutor was a leftist known for lax attitude towards criminals one resulting in a police officers death.

Girleyman…
Hopefully Chicago countersues for expenses regarding the investigation…hundred’s of thousands dollars spent on man hours, overtime, video, doc prep, etc all to get this case ready for trial.
NO JUSTICE! NO PEACE!
WHITE LIVES MATTER!
I wouldn’t wait to counter-sue, they should simply launch their own lawsuit to recover their expenses and ask for punitive damages as well.
The City spent more than $150,000 on this case not counting all the police hours along with the damage done to race relations . In Chicago a black man could kill a white man and be cheered on by everyone these days . He could have been Obama’s SON !
Sorry we have jobs and have to work to support those that declare they do NOT want to work !
Not until we pay $40,000,000 . 
My sarcasm is a bit over the top the days.
The manner in which this case was dismissed was abnormal and unfamiliar to those who practice law in criminal courthouses across the State. Prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges alike do not recognize the arrangement Mr. Smollett received. Even more problematic, the State’s Attorney and her representatives have fundamentally misled the public on the law and circumstances surrounding the dismissal.
The public has the right to know the truth, and we set out to do that here.
When an elected State’s Attorney recuses herself from a prosecution, Illinois law provides that the court shall appoint a special prosecutor. See 55 ILCS 5/3-9008(a-15). Typically, the special prosecutor is a neighboring State’s Attorney, the Attorney General, or the State Appellate Prosecutor. Here, the State’s Attorney kept the case within her office and thus never actually recused herself as a matter of law.
Additionally, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office falsely informed the public that the uncontested sealing of the criminal court case was “mandatory” under Illinois law. This statement is not accurate. To the extent the case was even eligible for an immediate seal, that action was discretionary, not mandatory, and only upon the proper filing of a petition to seal. See 20 ILCS 2630/5.2(g)(2). For seals not subject to Section 5.2(g)(2), the process employed in this case by the State’s Attorney effectively denied law enforcement agencies of legally required Notice (See 20 ILCS 2630/5.2(d)(4)) and the legal opportunity to object to the sealing of the file (See 20 ILCS 2630/5.2(d)(5)). The State’s Attorney not only declined to fight the sealing of this case in court, but then provided false information to the public regarding it.
The appearance of impropriety here is compounded by the fact that this case was not on the regularly scheduled court call, the public had no reasonable notice or opportunity to view these proceedings, and the dismissal was done abruptly at what has been called an “emergency” hearing. To date, the nature of the purported emergency has not been publicly disclosed. The sealing of a court case immediately following a hearing where there was no reasonable notice or opportunity for the public to attend is a matter of grave public concern and undermines the very foundation of our public court system.
Some people are going to be losing their jobs and maybe even face federal corruption charges.
They certainly should but there’s absolutely no guarantee that they will.
Trump/Barr are far more likely to dig in at the federal level than any recent administration but I’m afraid they may choose not to just because of the racial component of the case.
When minorities act bad they get promotions ! We are too afraid of looting , riots , and loss of business , cheaper to keep them .
Unless that is you are an ANTIFA protester in a major city. Then it’s a free for all.
