Missouri’s incompetent Circuit Attorney, Kim Gardner, backed by George Soros funds, has finally resigned thanks to pressure from Republicans around the state. Soros funded her her election in 2016 and again in 2020. She was going to seek a third term as of last month, but her resignation letter is dated effective June 1. Her office is dysfunctional, and she won’t prosecute minority criminals.
Earlier this year, a criminal violated his bond over fifty times and was awaiting trial in a separate armed robbery case. While out on bail, he drove into a teen volleyball player. She lost both her legs. He didn’t have a license. It was Gardner’s fault that he was free. Her supporters tried to use the race card. Gardner resigned, claiming racism.
“Unfortunately, since the time I took office as the first Black female prosecutor in the State, people outside of the city have targeted me and, to advance their goals, have also targeted the fundamental rights of the city’s voters. In recent days, for example, The Missouri State Legislature began hearings on a bill that appears to permanently remove the right of every St. Louis voter to elect their Circuit Attorney, the only remaining elected position in our city’s criminal justice system. Instead, that bill gives the Governor the power to appoint our city’s chief prosecutor. It is hard to think of or more direct or brutal assault on our democracy, one that mirrors the attacks in Jackson, Mississippi, and throughout Florida.”
Does she believe that? Probably not. It’s evil race-baiting. The legislature had to devise a way to remove her powers over the most severe cases. She wouldn’t prosecute some of the worst offenders.
[[Her office is dysfunctional, and she won’t prosecute minority criminals.]]
She should have been disbarred for that- she put many many people’s lives in danger by not prosecuting crimi9nal thugs- she failed to do her job and she was a racist to boot
Hold these damn people accountable and for violation to their oaths to the Constitution.
Her parting speech is similar to what I’m expecting to hear from Kamala when the progressives finally figure out how to get rid of her, politically speaking, of course.
She was the one politicizing the McCloskey case IIRC. Good riddance.
“Incompetent” is FAR too kind.
Actively evil and working against the whole idea of law and order and equal treatment under the law.
That is correct.
I think the reason we don't do that is because we don't want them to feel that they have to start murdering people in order to protect themselves from prison. As has happened with a former President when he was in high office in his home state.
Yes. Soros paid Gardener sabotaged the justice system. She turned black criminals into terrorists. Gardener should be prosecuted as an accessory to every crime committed on her watch by a an offender who got lenient treatment.
Same for the evil powerbrokers who are putting these evil DAs into power.
Why can’t we legally stop these power-mad billionaires from buying political offices and destroying our country?
But they are effectively murdering people by not putting criminals behind bars. Guess I don’t understand your reasoning there.
And the crimes committed in the jurisdictions of the scores of DAs he installed throughout the country.
You can always wash dishes at the Pancake Shack, Kimbo.
I've given a lot of thought to this issue, and have wondered why it is that politicians so seldom end up in prison for serious crimes they commit while in office. It does happen sometimes; typically in cases of legislator bribery. It rarely happens with executive branch politicians.
It bothers me greatly that this is so, and I've tried to figure out if there is some reason for it. The best I've been able to come up with is that history teaches that men and women who have access to deadly force will be tempted to use it to advance their own interests, particularly if the stakes are very high and if they think they can get away with it.
People in high executive offices have access to deadly force through the law enforcement agencies they control. They can hire friends and family members to run those agencies, and can reward through various forms of largess lower-level employees of those agencies by means of a brief, off-the-record conversation.
They also can get access to damaging information about practically anyone they want to hurt, or to set up a pretext for hurting, by means of the investigative agencies over which they have control.
Because of the immense power to which they have access, they can if they feel sufficiently threatened do enormous damage. As I understand it, Kim Gardner is like this, but I believe she could have done a lot more damage than she did if she had wanted to. I'm not an expert on her case; if I'm wrong, and she had many people murdered or imprisoned unfairly, please let me know.
I'm not trying to justify, or excuse, or rationalize allowing these people to escape justice for their official wrongdoings. I'm only hazarding a guess as to why they are so often to ride off into the sunset when they resign peacefully.
Yep.
☝☝☝☝☝
Yup. Criminally liable.
Personally for any criminal they ask for no bail/etc, I’d make them personally legally vouch for them as legal guardian and that they must reside with the DA in their personal domicile.
The practice of law should not be an agenda driven vehicle. If this is some kind of phase that a Democratic Republic is going through, it cannot end too soon as far as I’m concerned.
What these Soros DA’s are doing is illegal.
