The sole donors to the PAC are neoliberal superdonor and conservative-boogeyman George Soros and a \u201cdark-money\u201d group called Civic Participation Action Fund. A Super PAC is a fundraising group, created by the 2010 Supreme Court Citizens United decision, that can raise as much money as they want for any candidate or cause\u2014as long as they don\u2019t coordinate on any level with political campaigns, which have much smaller campaign limits.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Since the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2014, George Soros has backed progressive candidates in local prosecutorial races across the U.S. to the tune of millions of dollars.<\/p>\n<p>Cook County prosecutors infuriated the Chicago Police Department and Mayor Rahm Emanuel this week when they abruptly\u00a0dropped 16 felony counts\u00a0that accused Smollett of making a false police report about being the target of a racist, anti-gay attack in downtown Chicago on January 29.

The case was then handed to First Assistant State\u2019s Attorney Joseph Magats.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, the ex-chief of staff for former first lady Michelle Obama admitted she approached Foxx regarding the case on behalf of the actor\u2019s family.
