Wait, WHAT?! WOW! Kim Foxx's office now admitting she didn't actually recuse herself from Jussie Smollett case

Someone’s got some serious ‘splainin’ to do … just sayin’.

Wow. Foxx’s office now admitting she didn’t *actually* recuse herself from the Smollett case, legally speaking. They just used that word “colloquially,” for public consumption. pic.twitter.com/b63Mhct2ln

So Foxx DIDN’T actually recuse herself. Alrighty then.

It was a euphemism. Or an onomatopoeia. One of the two.

Did we say "recused?" We meant "fully engaged."

— Curtice Mang (@curticemang) March 28, 2019

Our bad.

It all depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is.

— Erick Harper (@ObiWanHarp) March 28, 2019

So she identified herself as recused. Now I get it.

— Oliver Mandic (@olivermandic) March 28, 2019

THAT’S it.

it was recusal, but not recusal recusal

This is getting worse.

Oh yeah.

Jussie had a previous DUI arrest where he gave police his brothers name at first, claiming to be him. His prior should have prevented first time offender treatment.

Man, Smollett is just an as*hole.

Seriously.

So she used a legal term, but "not in the legal sense." Ooooo-kay.

— Greg Renaud (@belize042) March 28, 2019

Something like that.

Um, in the law "recuse" means "recuse," not "I backed into the shadows and put someone else in the light to do what I wanted to do without consequences."

that's just something we say… Basically

I have seen similar dissociation with words and meaning…
In toddlers.

That’s an insult to toddlers.

So when Jussie "paid" his debt for his multiple crimes, that was not an actual payment of his full debt, just a colloquial payment?

— Apollo Fuhriman (@ApolloJamnJelly) March 28, 2019

Colloquially speaking, yes.

Maybe?

Hell, we don’t know.

Don’t look at us, man, we just work here.

Damn! What's next with these people?!?

Don’t ask.
