The Missouri Supreme Court ordered on Friday that St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner comply with a public records request from Just the News Editor-in-Chief John Solomon regarding the prosecution of former Gov. Eric Greitens.
Solomon filed a public records request in July 2019 under Missouri's Sunshine Law for about two and a half years' worth of communications between Gardner's office and the Missouri Workforce Housing Association, state Representatives Stacy Newman and Jay Barnes, along with several other groups and individuals.
Gardner is one of the first big-city district attorneys bankrolled by liberal megadonor Soros.
The public records request sought documents related to Gardner's fizzled 2018 prosecution of Greitens, who resigned from the governorship less than two years into his term.
The prosecutor accused Greitens of felony invasion of privacy for allegedly threatening to release a photo of his partially nude girlfriend if she talked about their affair. However, Gardner had to drop the case after admitting she lacked the alleged photo and facing the prospect of being called as a witness in the case by Greteins' lawyers.

"I am grateful for the Missouri Supreme Court for ruling that the public interest should prevail here," Solomon said in a statement. "The Missouri voters and the American public deserve to know what went on in this case, and we now have an opportunity to tell them the facts. A special thanks to Southeastern Legal Foundation for its incredible work on this. We look forward to making all the information we want in this case public as soon as it's delivered by Ms. Gardner's office."

Solomon is generally doing good work
Approaching three years ago. By the time Solomon gets what he requested it will likely be over three years. Justice delayed is indeed justice denied. An old liberal tactic at play.
We need to start prosecuting the prosecutors for malfeasance and abuse of office. This one would be a good place to start.
