However, before charges were even filed against Smollett, Foxx and her team were trying to get the case moved to the FBI. This is very significant and it brings up a point I believe many people are missing. It seems the same people who have now dropped the charges against Smollett and asked the case to be sealed are the same ones who asked for the FBI to handle the case. The same people with close ties and communication with Harris. This suggests that they knew once the case was in the hands of the FBI, they could make it go away. Someone in that circle of Foxx and Harris believed that they had an “in” with the FBI and sending the investigation there could make it go away.
If Foxx’s team ultimately dropped the charges against Smollett, that suggests they always wanted this case to go away and the details to be hidden away forever. If they felt the FBI was going to do an honest investigation, there is no reason they would want it handed over to them as they already knew the evidence against Smollett was very solid. The only reason they would have wanted things moved to the FBI is because Harris advised them that the FBI could make it “go away”.
