matt. thank you so much. matthew: thank you, michele. thank you good morning. my natural inclination as a historian is to look to the distant past, so i would like to open with an observation that was made more than 120 years ago by the house's greatest 19th-century institutional reform or, speaker thomas brackett reed. most things are not good and die an early death, reed once said but those which push themselves , forward and by slow degrees force themselves on the attention of mankind, are the unconscious productions of human wisdom, and must have consideration, and must not be made the subject of unreasoning prejudice. anyone who is not familiar with reed, that is perhaps the most measured thing he ever said. he tended to usher in change by snap decrees rather than by slow degrees. but that quote from that particular speaker i think also highlights something universal about congressional reform, that it comes in all shapes and sizes, slow and fast, knee-jerk and ponderous, sometimes ad hoc and improvised, and sometimes meticulously crafted. sometimes a sing

matt. >> good morning. right now kim foxx is still defending her office which suddenly dropped the charges against smollett earlier this week. kim foxx recused herself from the smollett case. she was messaging with michelle obama's former chief of staff kim tchen. the family had concerns about the chicago police investigations and wanted them to turn the investigation over to the f.b.i. tchen convinced kim foxx to ask the police superintendent to drop his investigation and hand it to the f.b.i. that did not happen. foxx now says her office would have been able to find smollett guilty but dropping the charges was just and the actor did not have special treatment. he performed community services and forfeited his $10,000 bond. >> i believe in this case justice was appropriate. i didn't make the decision, but he was availed to alternative prosecution model that anybody else without his riches, without his fame were also availed to. >> an internal email inside her office obtained by fox news asked all assistant states attorneys to locate any case they can find that would bolster foxx's claim that dropping charges like smollett's is common and not as shocking as it appears. we are looking for examples of case
