Missouri Attorney general announces legal action to remove Kim Gardner from office

[excalibur]

This stupid woman, a Soros-bought DA, doesn't even have the decency to resign after all her mishandling of felons.

The most recent incident involves a poor 17-year-old girl, visiting St. Louis to play volleyball who was slammed into by a guy who should not have been on the streets driving. This oos girl had both legs amputated and this woman still clings to office.

Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced legal action to remove Kim Gardner from office after she didn't respond to his demand that she resign by noon Thursday.​

​

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced legal action to remove St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner from office Thursday amid mounting political backlash over her office’s handling of cases.​

​

Bailey confirmed during a 12:15 p.m. press conference that he initiated legal proceedings to remove Gardner after she didn't respond to his demands for her to resign by noon Thursday. A petition of quo warranto was filed at 12:01 p.m. and was pending with the 22nd Judicial Circuit Court, he said.​

​

Gardner denounced Bailey's actions on Thursday as a "political stunt" and an attempt at voter suppression, saying she was going to return to focusing on the work she was elected to do.​

​

Bailey's call for Gardner's removal comes as pressure mounts against her office after a 17-year-old volleyball player was critically injured in a crash caused by a suspect who was supposed to be on house arrest. Many local leaders have called the case emblematic of the dysfunction in Gardner's office. ​

​

Bailey said his petition makes three claims against the circuit attorney:​

​

​

• • Claims she has failed to prosecute cases that are pending in her jurisdiction
  • Claims she has failed to confer and inform victims of the procedural posture and ultimate disposition in criminal cases
  • Claims she has neglected her duties by failing to charge new cases referred to her by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department

​

"These three behaviors constitute a continued pattern of failure to discharge her duties in office and represent neglect under the statutes, and warrant removal," Bailey said at the news conference. "At the end of the day, this is about the rule of law and about justice."​

I hate to say it but if you're anti-police and your policies resulted in thousands of extra deaths between 2020-2021 then you probably deserve to be removed. Biden really needs to be moderate on this issue for him to have a chance at reelection and for us to have a chance at regaining the house. People like this are very bad for the democratic party.

We need to focus on strengthening the safetynet, fixing ssi, bringing jobs back to America and infrastructure, science and education.

I read about this .. a vehicle accident by a man out on bond who violated his release conditions over 50 times. This man should have been behind bars for robbery and violating the conditions of his release, and now this prosecutors lack of responsibility and political extremism have left a 17 year old female without legs.

I hope she gets released and loses her credentials.
