Kim Gardner, the Soros-backed district attorney, was at the center of the controversial story about the McCloskeys, who stood their ground against a mob of violent and threatening BLM rioters at their home. Instead of targeting the mob, which threatened to harm them and their pets, Gardner targeted the McCloskeys for brandishing firearms in self-defense. This action is indicative of his approach as a Soros-backed Marxist prosecutor, prioritizing political goals over actual criminals.
Gardner’s erratic and unfair actions created a stir and captured public attention. Consequently, a special counsel was appointed in May to investigate the chaotic mess Gardner created and perpetuated in the DA’s office.
These actions ultimately sparked a movement to oust Gardner from office. However, before this could be fully deployed, Gardner hit the “eject button” and resigned. Now, a revealing new report sheds light on exactly why Gardner fled as the situation tightened around him.
Attorney General Andrew Bailey, who led the effort against Ms. Gardner, is also credited with filing this bombshell report.
🚨BREAKING: Kim Gardner hit the eject button and resigned as circuit attorney when it became clear that our lawsuit to remove her from office would succeed.
My office has released the Gardner Report to ensure that no one will hold our state hostage again.
— Attorney General Andrew Bailey (@AGAndrewBailey) November 14, 2023
“Here’s a look at the unjust chaos Kim Gardner instigated in the St. Louis DA’s office.
25,000 cases filed.
2,735 cases filed by judges for lack of prosecution.
$351,500 in taxpayer money paid to an unlicensed attorney providing legal advice.
Countless violations of the Crime Victims’ Rights Act.
A resignation just hours before a judge ordered the release of potentially damaging records and scheduled a deposition.
All are among the findings of a 62-page report that Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey released to the I-Team on Monday. It summarizes what his office found in tens of thousands of documents, interviews with nearly 40 witnesses and research into the St. Louis, Kim Gardner, and his administration.
It was all part of a lawsuit he filed earlier this year to remove her from office.
“It was important for us to release the Gardner Report to put into the public domain what went wrong here, how it happened and what systems need to be put in place to prevent it from happening in the future,” Bailey said. “The public has a right to know about the mistakes he made, and he tried to deprive the public of access to that information by resigning before the court could order the release of several of those records.”
In his report, Bailey calls on the Legislature to strengthen the quo warranto process as it is known, put “teeth” behind the law that states public officials must devote all their time to the duties of their office, and amend the Victims’ Rights Act. .
The report also sheds new light on the abrupt timing of Gardner’s resignation in May, showing that a judge was about to decide whether Bailey could schedule Gardner for a deposition and obtain records from Saint Louis University that showed with how often Gardner took nursing classes there. instead of fulfilling his duties as the city’s top prosecutor.
“It’s proof positive that there’s a lot of smoke in there for there to be no fire,” Bailey said.
But do any of the findings mean Gardner will be held accountable for his actions?
Kim will face justice for his actions and betrayal of the people of St. Louis? Hopefully, but that remains uncertain. In a just world, Ms. Gardner would be disbarred and barred from practicing law again. However, only time will tell if this will be his destiny.
