Soros Prosecutor Kim Gardner is Going to Trial for Neglect of Office Charges.
Whoops, No She's Not: SOROS PROSECUTOR KIM GARDNER RESIGNS!!!

Although Kim Gardner has been letting criminals free for years -- and meanwhile prosecuting people for lawfully brandishing firearms to warn rioters and trespassers off their property -- the last straw was when a man who had violated the conditions of his parole 50+ times, but never jailed by Gardner, went out on a joy-ride without a valid license and crashed into a teenaged girl visiting the city, shearing one full leg from her body. (Another article says both legs.)

That's when AG Andrew Bailey decided enough was, at long last, enough.

Oh -- and then Kim Gardner lied about her negligence, or malevolence, in permitting this serial offender to remain on the streets so that he could rip a little girl's limb from her body.

John Sexton:

At the time of the crash, driver Daniel Riley was out on bond for a robbery that took place in 2020 but he still hadn't been tried. The really unbelievable part was that Riley had remained out on bond even though he'd violated the terms more than 50 times. The prosecutor's office in this case was run by Kim Gardner. Her office immediately offered an excuse for why Riley hadn't been tried in three years. But the first explanation offered turned out to be false.

Riley, 21, was out on bond for a 2020 robbery charge that was dismissed and re-filed last year. A spokesperson for Circuit Attorney Kimberly M. Gardner defended the office on Tuesday, saying the case was dropped and re-filed because the victim died before trial, throwing a wrench into prosecution. The spokesperson also said the final ruling on whether a suspect's bond is revoked is in the hands of a judge.

But a judge's order from the day the case was dropped shows the victim was alive and present for the hearing, and prosecutors weren't ready to proceed. And court officials said they never knew Riley violated his bond, because prosecutors never filed a motion to revoke it.

Note that last sentence. The court claimed it knew nothing about the 50+ times Daniel Riley had violated the terms of his release because no one from Gardner's office ever filed a motion to revoke it. In short, Gardner's office didn't seem to be aware of the facts of the case and also didn't seem to be managing the suspect's bond violations prior to the crash.

It was at that point that Missouri AG Andrew Bailey interceded and demanded Gardner's resignation.

Missouri's AG filed a writ of quo warranto against Kim Gardner, charging her with neglect of office, and praying for her removal from office for cause.

Bailey filed ten charges against Gardner.

A judge threw out three but okayed the remaining seven. So now St. Louis' Soros Non-Prosecutor Kim Gardner is going to trial for neglect of office.

In his last act before granting Gardner's request to switch judges, Judge John Torbitzky allowed seven of 10 allegations levied by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to proceed despite arguments from Gardner's attorneys that there is no legal standing to seek her ouster.

If all of the allegations are found to be true, Torbitzky wrote, "the number of alleged incidents and cases impacted ... gives rise to a reasonable inference that (Gardner) has failed to act contrary to a known duty."...

Torbitzky also rejected blanket arguments from Gardner's office that a 59-point subpoena from the attorney general's office asking for information including emails, case records and complaints from victims should be thrown out because it's "unduly burdensome" and compromises prosecutorial privilege.

Clarification: People keep asking if she'll face charges after she is out of office. These charges are not criminal in nature. They're civil charges brought against a public official in order to secure her ouster. A victory at trial results in her being removed from office, not put in jail.

Basically an impeachment action that takes place in a civil court, not in a legislative assembly.

If she resigns, the charges would be moot, except for stuff like, I guess, maybe some additional penalties that could be imposed like terminating any state pension she has coming? But I don't know if that's a penalty they can impose or would attempt to impose, even if they could.

Either way, if she's out of office shortly, then presumably this case is mooted.

I don't believe her, though. I would keep the trial on track until she actually leaves office. I don't like this Kathleen Kennedy plan of sticking around.

More on that later. Now John Sexton reports that the Soros Prosecutor Kim Gardner has a Plan B-- becoming a Soros Health Worker.

There's a reason it seems like she's absent from her job as prosecutor -- because she literally is absent from her job as prosecutor.

She's spending an unknown number of hours per week -- we don't yet know how many -- pursuing a graduate degree in nursing.

Before she became St. Louis Circuit Attorney, Kim Gardner was a registered nurse. But it seems she hasn't given up on that other career path yet, despite having a very demanding full-time job which isn't going very well right now. It has been confirmed that while working as Circuit Attorney, Garner is also enrolled in a graduate nursing program at St. Louis University.

The River Front Times reports:

The RFT asked a former CAO staff member if they knew Gardner was enrolled in graduate courses in addition to being circuit attorney. This former staffer, who asked to not be named, said, "Sounds about right. That'd explain why she was a mix between generally inaccessible and rarely there."

Sexton looked up the time commitment required to obtain this degree:

The RFT got an anonymous tip claiming that Gardner has been on campus 30 hours a week but after checking out the program in question that wouldn't be necessary. Still, it sounds like this is not just a few continuing education credits. According to the school, this is a doctoral nursing degree which requires four to five years of classes plus "1,050 or 1,125 clinical hours, depending on the specialty." If you do the math 1,050 hours is six months of full time work (40 hours a week). Even spread out over five years that's a huge time commitment (again, not including classes).

Bailey has subpoenaed the school for all records of Gardner's attendance. Apparently he'll be making this a major part of his case: Not just that she is a corrupt, crime-enabling Soros lackey, but that she's literally skipping out on work to go to school so she can kill people at her next gig.

And in case you're thinking "At least she's planning to help people when she's kicked out of office" -- nah, cuz, don't believe the hype. You think this careerist Marxist social-striver grasper wants to go back to being a nurse?

No. I'm sure the degree is in Public Health Policy or Health Care Administration or the like.

She wants to be hired as an executive in the health care field. She wants to be appointed to the boards of directors of five, six major corporations.

She wants to make MONEY, Jack.

Just like all the good little Radical Socialists do.

I guess the discovery that she was literally not showing up for work so that she could pad her credentials and make the Big Money was the last straw -- Because Kim Gardner has resigned. Instead of leaving immediately, she will continue to fail the people until June 1.

AT THE START OF PRIDE MONTH?!!! PRIDE MONTH?!?!

An embattled George Soros-bankrolled prosecutor in St. Louis resigned Thursday amid a legal effort by Missouri's attorney general to fire her for allegedly neglecting her duties.

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner, the city's top prosecutor, is stepping down following repeated, bipartisan calls for her resignation from officials across Missouri.

Gardner's office tweeted Gardner's resignation letter, which was addressed to the people of St. Louis.

Gardner is one of the first progressive prosecutors whom Soros, a liberal billionaire and Democrat mega-donor, bankrolled in 2016 and again for her re-election in 2020. She announced last month that she'll seek a third term. Her resignation is effective June 1.

For years, Gardner's office has faced criticism for mishandling cases and office dysfunction. The final straw for Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey came in February, when a teenage volleyball player visiting St. Louis with her team was struck by a car and lost both of her legs.

I didn't know she lost both of her legs.

GOPe, take Note: Andrew Bailey did not sit back and say, "We can't prosecute her for neglect of office, That's Not Who We Are, we can't interfere with the people's choice, we can't afford the media heat."

No. He acted, boldly -- I can't imagine how many "Racism!" attacks this man has gone through the past months -- and he won.

I think he caught a lucky little break with Gardner apparently not even bothering to show up for work. And of course Gardner is such a Planned Soros Catastrophe that even Democrats were forced to call for her resignation -- but only because of the pressure put on them by Republicans first demanding the resignation.

Uou don't catch lucky little breaks unless you're in the game to begin with. Your opponents can never be forced into a mistake if you never pressure your opponents in the first place.

Here's to you, Andrew Bailey: You have made my level of bleak, wailing despair fall by 1%. That's not nothing.

One Soros prosecutor down, twenty to go.

Impeach Mayorkas. Impeach Blinken.

Impeach the ultimate Soros Prosecutor -- the criminal Merrick Garland.
