Missouri AG Seeks to Remove Soros-Linked Prosecutor from Office, Citing 'Willful Neglect' of Cases
[BREITBART] A George Soros
...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true...
-linked St. Louis prosecutor has come under fire for her alleged mishandling of cases as Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey (R) has taken steps to remove her from office.

Bailey announced in a February blurb that he had filed a quo warranto suit to remove St. Luis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner from office, citing "years of willful neglect" for the cases she was responsible for prosecuting.

"As Attorney General, I want to protect the people of St. Louis, and that includes ensuring prosecutors protect the public," Bailey said in the blurb. "We gave Circuit Attorney Gardner the chance to do the right thing and resign, she has refused to do so, and my office filed a quo warranto at 12:01 PM to remove her from office immediately."

The petition related by Bailey alleges that "the circuit court has been forced to dismiss more than 2,700 cases, often because of [Gardner’s] inexplicable failure to provide defendants with discovery and a speedy trial" and that her "lack of diligence has forced her office to dismiss more than 9,000 cases — frequently on the cusp of trial — endlessly frustrating courts and victims desperate for justice."

It also specifically cites a February 18 incident in which Daniel Riley, who had been charged with first-degree robbery and armed criminal action in 2020, allegedly struck a teenage volleyball player while speeding, "severing one of her legs," "maiming the other," and ultimately resulting in the amputation of both limbs.

According to the petition, Riley had "earned 54 separate violations for failing to comply with the pre-trial bond conditions" while out on bond for the 2020 charges and allegedly earned an additional 50 violations after the charges were refiled in 2022.

"The Circuit Attorney never filed a motion to revoke Riley’s bond," the petition reads before describing the girl’s injuries as "the direct result of years of willful neglect from Circuit Attorney Kimberly M. Gardner."

#1 It will be quite an effort to get her out. I worry that it will be another Lightfoot situation where Soros has an alternative person ready to go that is worse than the original.

#2 Poppa Soros no longer calls the shots. His son who has visited the White House 114 times in last few months now runs DC instead of King George.

#3 With any luck he's walking the walk until daddy's will is read and executed, then it's off to the Riviera.

#4 I loved St. Louis when we lived there back in the 70s and 80s. A strikingly beautiful and well-laid-out city with charm and gems of neighborhoods. But I fear it is well past the point of no return.
