St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly M. Gardner is the latest pro-crime Soros-backed prosecutor to be driven from office “after visiting judge John Torbitzky ordered seven out of 10 claims filed against her by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to move forward.”
According to Bailey, Gardner’s other failures to take prosecutorial action resulted in some 12,000 criminal cases being dismissed, “endlessly frustrating courts and victims desperate for justice.”
Police are “drowning in drugs” seized in cases that have languished, Bailey wrote, and alleged that Gardner’s office had allowed arrest-warrant applications to go “unprocessed for more than eight months.”
Bailey also accused Gardner of agreeing to “extraordinary bond reductions” and failure to seek bond revocations for suspects charged with violent crimes.
Gardner has company. Virginia State Attorney Buta Biberaj got tossed from a case by a judge after it was revealed that she lied to the court about a suspect’s extensive criminal history. And DA Chesa Boudin was recalled by San Francisco voters last June. Other recalls have been attempted as crime continues to rise in Democrat-run cities that advance Bouin-style progressive justice.
San Francisco was a trainwreck before, but it has suffered under Boudin. Rampant shoplifting because the DA won’t prosecute what he called petty crimes. Actual hate crimes against real Asians.
And the progs are paying attention. According to the Post, other DAs who got elected (with Soros Money) have enacted similar policies with similar results. Rising crime and no accountability. Add several years of anti-police ‘defund’ rhetoric from Democrat councils and mayors, and someone will have to take the heat.
The Democrat’s notion of justice is criminal. Someone should put that on a bumper sticker or sew it on a pillow. Or how about “The Democrat Party – Hurting the People We Promised to Help.”
One thing Gardner may have gotten right. When the Missouri AG started the process, she called it a witch hunt. Hey, she called herself that; it wasn’t me.
“Gardner is among many progressive prosecutors who received backing from billionaire financier George Soros, according to The Missouri Times.”
