BREAKING: Scandal riddled Soros-funded circuit attorney Kim Gardner resigns

St. Louis, Missouri circuit attorney and George Soros-funded Kim Gardner was up to her eyeballs in scandals and finally called it quits Thursday. Had she not resigned, she would have likely been thrown out of office by the Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey for neglecting her duties.

Even some Democrats want her gone. 

Gardner's office tweeted her resignation letter, which was addressed to the people of St. Louis which she proudly neglected to properly represent.

Gardner is one of the first progressive prosecutors whom Soros, a full-blown socialist. billionaire and huge Democrat donor, bankrolled in 2016 and again for her re-election in 2020. 

Gardner had announced last month that she'll seek a third term but that is not going to happen.

Her office had face harsh criticism for her mishandling cases and office dysfunction.

For Gardner, the proverbial excrement hit the fan in February after a teenage volleyball player was in St. Louis with her team. Sadly, she was struck by a car and lost both of her legs. 

The driver was charged with assault, armed criminal action and operating a vehicle with a valid license. He had been out on bond awaiting trial for armed robbery but had a history of violating his bond SEVERAL DOZEN TIMES!

Gardner, who was also attending nursing classes, which is not part of her job description and is actually illegal, argued that her office attempted to put the guy back in jail and blamed the judge for denying her office's request--a bogus claim with exactly zero records of her request. It's her office that is responsible for monitoring compliance with bond conditions and revoking them when the conditions are violated, as this guy did dozens of times. In other words, her office never asked for his bond to be revoked. She lied.

After this fustercluck, AG Bailey filed a petition quo warranto, which is a legal mechanism under Missouri statute that allows the AG to remove a prosecutor who neglects the duties of the job.

Bailey said that nearly 12,000 criminal cases have been dismissed over Gardner's failures. In addition, over 9,000 cases have been tossed out when they were about to go to trial, and this forced judges to dismiss over 2,000 cases. Bailey described this as a failure to provide defendants with evidence and speedy trials.

Gardner, a political witch, had refused to leave office, calling Bailey's efforts a political "witch hunt" and a form of "voter suppression." She also used the left's go-to accusation that racism and sexism are behind some of the criticism against her.

A St. Louis judge had set a tentative trial date for Sept. 25 to hear arguments from both sides.

As it stands, Gardner's office is facing two proceeding for contempt of court after her prosecutors failed to appear for multiple court dates, one of which was a murder case.

In one contempt case, a Missouri judge said Gardner had "complete indifference and a conscious disregard for the judicial process" and called her office a "rudderless ship of chaos."

It's unclear if the contempt hearings will be dropped, or how Bailey will react to Gardner’s resignation. On the other hand, it's possible that Gardner struck a deal with the attorney general by handing in her resignation. Now she can finish her nursing courses and perform medical malpractice if she continues with her modus operandi. 

A number of assistant prosecutors recently resigned from Garner's long understaffed office, which has been plagued by persistent personnel issues creating low morale and a dysfunctional working environment.

Gardner's tenure was riddled with allegations of misconduct and mishandled cases long before her latest legal issues. In one case she was publicly reprimanded and fined by the Missouri Supreme Court. 

More broadly, Gardner has been scrutinized for what critics have called soft on crime policies, just like George Soros likes.

BREAKING: The latest on St. Louis AG Kim Gardner

The legal proceeding to remove the circuit attorney, Kim Gardner of St. Louis, Missouri. The Missouri Attorney General, Andrew Bailey updated the press of the latest information regarding the case against Gardner.

New pieces of evidence has been uncovered. They have found that Gardner has been taking nursing classes as opposed to fulfilling her current additional duties. She has been attaining a nursing degree and failed to charge new cases.

The court has issued several orders that uncovered the evidence.

The case now stands: In February, after she was called to resign and she refused, the legal proceeding began to protect the public and restore the rule of law.

After several weeks, others came forward. 

A 121 page amended petition was filed. After 60 days, 5 pleadings and a hearing, Gardner asked for a different judge, which was an 'unnecessary delay" but they were committed to moving the case forward.

Yesterday the court issued several orders. Judge Bill Corrigan discussed the orders.

The proceeding were allowed to go forward in spite of Gardner's attempt to stop them.

Failed to prosecute cases, make charging decisions, keep families informed and for speedy trials were some of the issues discussed by both Bailey and Judge Corrigan.

Gardner had failed to show up for a murder trial and there has been clear negligence of her job and her office has been described as a "rudderless ship of chaos" and a number of attorneys have quit. She had even sent a representative in her case who had no knowledge of the situation to represent her and thought she could delay the proceedings, but the judge was hearing none of that and went forward with the indictment.

Gardner has 3 judges willing to hold her in contempt and she has been asked several times by the Attorney General to resign but has refused.

The trial for the George Soros funded circuit attorney will be scheduled for September 25th and the case is moving forward. Gardner's attempt to quash the subpoenas for documents have been denied.

Soros-backed Kim Foxx, who got Jussie Smollett off the hook, gives herself the hook

The Chicago prosecutor, Kim Foxx, who received millions of Soros funding said on Tuesday that she'll not seek re-election next year. 

Foxx [who is anything but] became Cook County, IL state's attorney in 2016 and is best known for her hands-off law enforcement, and for allowing Jussie Smollett, a gay black actor, to avoid any serious consequences regarding the racist hoax he created, after she had the charges dropped.

You may remember how Smollett paid two Nigerian individuals to "attack" him in the middle of the night during a polar vortex in the streets of Chicago after he went out to a Subway restaurant for a sandwich. He was supposedly attacked by two white men in red hats with rope and bleach yelling, "This is MAGA country!" and put the rope around his neck, allegedly doused him with bleach, and off they went.

Smollett went home with the rope still around his neck and his sandwich intact, called police and told the story to them about the "two white men." He kept the rope around his neck, by the way.

It turns out that Smollett had hired two Nigerian brothers who were bodybuilders, to carry out his hoax. A grand jury later indicted him on six counts of disorderly conduct over the false reports to the Chicago PD.

He served less than a week in jail and still pretended the story he made up was true, as he cried us a river on television.

When Foxx won the campaign and began serving the criminal elements of Chicago, Soros had slipped her campaign $400,000 to help the cause.

Later, in 2020, Soros, a devout anti-America socialist, provided $2 million to a committee backing her re-election efforts against three Democratic challengers, one of which received a massive funding boost from their wealthy father.

Soros has backed dozens of far-left prosecutor candidates as part of his efforts to destroy the criminal justice system. Foxx was among the most visible leftists. Some of the others he backed are Kim Gardner in St. Louis, George Gascón in Los Angeles, and Larry Krasner in Philadelphia. 

The candidates Soros supports all oppose cash bail, favor anemic law enforcement, and back "restorative justice" initiatives which push to refuse charging minors who commit serious crimes, as adults. 

The cities in which Soros supported prosecutors preside are cities where crime thrives and where people seek to leave.

The Chicago Tribune first reported Tuesday afternoon that Foxx would not seek re-election next year. But don't worry, Chicago is about as "MAGA country" as Saudi Arabia is a Jewish State. It will very likely be electing another Democrat next year, and crime will very likely continue at the same pace.

Soros-backed Kim Gardner scandal just grew worse

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner has a scandal rap sheet longer than a roll of toilet paper. The George Soros-bankrolled prosecutor is already facing calls for her resignation for neglect of her duties and she now is facing new complaints of negligence and possible misconduct in performance of her job. She has screwed up prosecutions and critics say she has soft-on-crime policies. 

Currently Gardner is in a legal battle to retain her position as the outcry for her removal has hit the media. A St. Louis judge sanctioned Gardner's office this week for withholding evidence in a double homicide case and allowing the suspect, Alex Heflin, out on bond.

Heflin, 23, had been held without bond since January, charged with two counts of second-degree murder and armed criminal action, according to KSDC. The charges have since been reduced to involuntary and voluntary manslaughter with a trial supposed to be on April 17. However, the trial has been postponed to June 12 and pretrial set for May 17.

This week, Judge Theresa Counts Burke ruled in favor of Heflin's attorneys, who filed a motion accusing one of Gardner's assistant circuit attorneys of violating discovery rules that required prosecutors to turn over evidence, including DNA reports and a recording of a 911 call. In other words, Gardner's office either intentionally, or incompetently screwed up the case.

"The court finds that there have been repeated delays by the state in obtaining discovery and providing it to the defense," Burke wrote. "There has been a lack of diligence on the part of the state in following up and providing discovery to the defendant in a timely fashion. As a result of the state's actions and lack of diligence, the court grants defendant's second motion for sanctions."

And while the Circuit Attorney's Office sent a statement to Fox News Digital claiming how they are diligent and work hard to bring justice on behalf of the people of St. Louis, and their families, blah, blah, after this latest fustercluck, it turns out the opposite is obviously true.

Just last Wednesday, St. Louis prosecutors dismissed and refiled charges against two men alleged to have murdered a father and his 7-year-old daughter. This will probably push back the trial by months. The only reason given was that "the prosecutors weren't ready for trial," which had been set just days later.

But this wasn't an isolated screw-up.

In July, prosecutors did the same thing. The trial was set to go but the prosecutors weren't ready, delaying the trial and infuriating the families of the victims and even the defense lawyers who wanted their day in court for their clients.

Gardner's office made a habit out of dismissing and refiling cases as her office is understaffed because good lawyers are leaving the shipwreck. Last year, Gardner's office dismissed and refiled no less than a dozen murder cases, as per a St. Louis Post-Dispatch analysis.

The effect of the high turnover in Gardner's office has been "a state of dysfunction, low morale and dearth of legal wisdom necessary to safeguard the public from potentially dangerous criminals," the Post-Dispatch previously reported.

So Gardner's office went to their go-to mode which appeared to blame police for having to dismiss and refile the double murder case:

"In this case, the CAO was not provided evidence in a timely manner due to acknowledged staffing challenges at the police department," Gardner spokeswoman Allison Hawk stated.

The St. Louis Police Officers' Association blasted Gardner's office for "pulling a Biden" by blame-shifting and refusing to take responsibility for their incompetence:

"Police officers shouldn't be made scapegoats for an overworked, backlogged and mismanaged Circuit Attorney's Office," the union's statement read.

On Friday, the lawyer for a man accused of hitting a teenage volleyball player, Janae Edmonson, with his car, which resulted in her losing both legs, entered a not guilty plea on behalf of his client. The judge in the case had to have a copy of the indictment printed for the lawyer while he was in the courtroom because Gardner's Office failed to provide him with a copy before coming to court. 

That is total incompetence, but wait, there's more.

The assistant circuit attorney of record on the case didn't appear at the hearing. His wife — Jamie Myers, the chief misdemeanor officer for Gardner's office — did appear but never addressed the court. 

"As the head of the misdemeanor division for the office, Assistant Circuit Attorney Jamie Myers leads up associate court for the CAO [Circuit Attorney's Office]," Gardner spokeswoman Allison Hawk said in a statement. "She handles these arraignment and was there this morning as she does routinely as part of her job responsibilities."

The teenage volleyball player lost her legs in the incident while visiting St. Louis with her team. Riley, the man charged with assault, was out on bail awaiting trial for an ARMED ROBBERY from 2020, had violated the terms of his bond no less than FIFTY TIMES! and was operating the vehicle WITHOUT A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE.

There is no record of Gardner's office, which is responsible for monitoring compliance with bond conditions and revoking them when those terms are violated, asking for Riley's bond to be revoked.

That isn't something you can blame on the police. 

Gardner is facing a legal effort by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to fire her. 

In February, following the tragedy with Miss Edmonson, Bailey filed a petition quo warranto, the legal mechanism under state statute that allows the attorney general to remove a prosecutor who neglects their duties.

"This is about a quantum of evidence that demonstrates her failure to prosecute cases, failure to inform and confer with victims in cases and failure to file new cases that are referred by law enforcement agencies," Bailey told Fox News Digital at the time of the filing.

He separately said in a statement that Gardner is "creating" victims instead of "protecting" them.

But let us not lose sight of the fact that Gardner is a Soros-backed leftist whose concept of justice is that criminals are just misunderstood and victims are just a bunch of whiners. Soros bankrolled Gardner in 2016 and again for her re-election in 2020.

In her time as St. Louis Circuit Attorney, crime has spiked in the city to near-record murder rates, the last two years being among the city's deadliest. In 2022, WalletHub calculated that St. Louis had the highest homicide cases per 100,000 residents from July through September of any U.S. city, ranking it the most dangerous city in the country because of high rates of crime and other dangers like car accidents.

As far as George Soros is concerned, Gardner is getting it right.

Soros 'Owned' DA Kim Gardner Guilty on 141 Counts

St. Louis, Missouri District Attorney Kim Gardner [remember her?] lost he appeal for refusing to hand over communications she had with operatives of far left anti-America George Soros [a billionaire palindrome] and other leftists in her prosecution of former Governor Eric Greitens.

She has already been found to have committed 62 acts of misconduct, and 79 cases of misrepresentation in convicting the former governor of crimes he DID NOT COMMIT and of which he was later cleared. 

Now Greitens is running for the US Senate from Missouri, and he has a good chance of winning.

Gardner has been a St Louis clusterfrack [sic]. 

The murder rate last year was the highest it has been in the last half century and she has refused to prosecute so many of them that the Missouri legislature passed a law limiting the time she had to file murder charges to 90 days. If she continued to not file, which has been her wont, the state AG takes over the case and justice will be done.

Gardner adamantly refused to prosecute cases involving drug dealers and child molesters in spite of mountains of evidence that these were slam-dunk, open-and-shut cases. She used the race card against the police and totally refused to take on cases from over 20 cops.

A Missouri Appeals Court ruled unanimously against her and she will have to face disciplinary charges on her corrupt practices and pay the $5,000 dollar fine she previously received, which one might guess Soros will pay.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported:

The Missouri Court of Appeals at St. Louis on Tuesday upheld a judge’s ruling against the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office for failing to respond to a lawsuit that alleged violations of the state’s open records law.

The appeals court’s unanimous ruling said Circuit Attorney Kimberly M. Gardner’s appeals had “no merit.” She had challenged St. Louis Circuit Judge Christopher McGraugh’s ruling and $5,000 penalty for refusing to produce records and respond in time to a January 2020 lawsuit filed by conservative journalist John Solomon.

“Based on this whole record, we hold the trial court did not err in finding (Gardner’s) failure to file a timely response to (Solomon’s) amended petition was not the result of an unexpected or unavoidable hindrance, accident, or mishap, but was instead the result of (Gardner’s) carelessness, inattention, and deliberate disregard,” the court said.

Solomon, a former Fox News contributor who runs the website Just the News, sought all of Gardner’s contacts with staff and other key players in the 2018 criminal investigations of then-Gov. Eric Greitens.

Those people include Missouri Times publisher Scott Faughn, Clayton lawyer Albert Watkins, billionaire mega-donor George Soros and former state Reps. Stacey Newman and Jay Barnes.

So justice will be done, at least to some degree and hopefully Gardner will never be able to practice law ever again. 

When everyone who is different from you based on their immutable characteristics is viewed as racist, you are looking at them through a racist lens, and it's disgusting. Do not accept that label and call out their racism if they pull it on you.

Soros-backed St. Louis DA Kim Gardner GUILTY on 141 counts

St. Louis DA Kim Gardner lost her appeal for refusing to hand over communications she had with operatives of George "I'm Not a Nazi" Soros along with others regarding her prosecution of former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens. She is in big trouble but whether or not justice will be served in today's progressive climate of lawlessness, is anybody's guess. But the court has found Gardner guilty of committing 62 acts of misconduct and 79 cases of misrepresentation in wrongly convicting Greitens of crimes he did not commit.

Greitens, who is very popular in the state, was later cleared and is now running for the US Senate from Missouri.

Gardner's hands-off crime policy has been a veritable clusterfrack for the state. The murder rate last year in St. Louis soared to a 50-year high and she refused to prosecute a huge number of murderers. The state's legislature had to pass a law limiting the time in which she had to file murder charges, limiting her to 90 days, after which the state Attorney General would take over the case.

She refused to prosecute clear cut cases involving drug dealing and child molesters. She used the excuse that police are racists and refused to accept cases from over 20 police who provided evidence to do so.

After a Missouri Appeals Court ruled unanimously against her, she is to face disciplinary charges and pay the small fine of a mere $5,000 that she had previously received.

A Missouri Appeals Court ruled unanimously against her and she will have to face disciplinary charges on her corrupt practices and pay the $5,000 dollar fine she previously received.

Missouri AG calls out St. Louis prosecutor in McCloskey's self-defense case

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt called out the St. Louis prosecutor Kim Gardner, who is handling the case of Mark and Patricia McCloskey. They are the couple who legally defended their property from an encroaching, threatening, and partially armed mob.

Gardner is a Soros-funded leftist and Schmitt is exposing this little tidbit about her.

On Friday, law enforcement executed a warrant against the McCloskeys and confiscated their registered, legal firearms, violating their Second Amendment rights.

Schmitt alleged to Fox News that  Gardner has a history of making politically motivated decisions.

The gate the rioters destroyed

"Under Missouri law, under the Castle Doctrine, an individual has really expansive authority to protect their own lives, their home, and their property. I think the story here to watch here is the local prosecutor, Kim Gardner," Schmitt said.

"Kim Gardner has an abysmal record in prosecuting violent crime, has recently released and been complicit in the release of dozens and dozens of inmates who have been charged with violent crimes, and has a record of making politically motivated decisions not based on the law," he explained. "So, this is certainly something to watch."

After the incident with the McCloskeys generated national attention, Gardner, always on the side of the perps, released a statement claiming the McCloskeys had committed a "violent assault," and vowed to hold them accountable.

Schmitt explained that the McCloskeys did not act unlawfully. First of all, it was a private, gated street, not a public thoroughfare. The rioters and protesters were on their way to the mayor's house, which had been vandalized several previous times.

The McCloskeys thought they were in danger and believed they were going to be attacked by the anarchists, mainly because the anarchists told them they were going to murder them and enter their home.

"This was on a private street, and if you listen to the McCloskeys, they felt threatened, that they were going to be attacked, and that it was made known to them. They made known to the protesters and the people who came by that this was a private street, and they said they were going to murder them and come into their house, and so, as I said, the Castle Doctrine in Missouri is pretty expansive; it allows you to defend your life, obviously your family's life, your home, but also your property, and this was on private property.

"It's hard to get into the mind of Kim Gardner. As I said, she has a sketchy track record of making politically-based decisions," Schmitt went on to say about the leftist prosecutor.

Despite the warrant, criminal charges have not yet been filed against the McCloskeys, nor was the basis of the warrant made clear. The word was supposedly out that charges were going to be filed, so it's now just a waiting game.

I cannot imagine the McCloskeys would be found guilty of anything other than doing exactly what they needed to do to protect themselves from the rioters who have become a cancer to our society.
