Kim Gardner, a prosecutor supported by Soros, steps down due to pressure from the state attorney general.

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner Resigns

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner has announced her resignation from her position, effective June 1. In a letter sent to Governor Mike Parson, Gardner expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to serve the people of St. Louis.

Gardner’s Resignation

Gardner stated in her letter, “The most powerful weapon I have to fight back against these outsiders stealing your voices and your rights is to step back. I took this job to serve the people of the City of St. Louis, and that still my North star. And so, it is with a heavy heart but steadfast resolve that I am resigning my position as your Circuit Attorney, effective June 1st.”

Her resignation comes after Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey accused her of neglecting her duties by taking nursing classes at St. Louis University School of Nursing instead of performing her duties.

Bailey’s Criticism

After Gardner’s resignation was announced, Bailey criticized her resignation date, saying there is “no reason” for her to remain in office until June 1. He tweeted, “Every day she remains puts the city of St. Louis in more danger. How many victims will there be between now and June 1? How many defendants will have their constitutional rights violated? How many cases will continue to go unprosecuted?”

Bailey had filed a writ of quo warranto in court and was looking to have Gardner removed from her position via state law.

Replacement Process

Parson’s office has been notified of Gardner’s resignation and will “approach our duty to appoint a replacement with the utmost seriousness.” Parson tweeted, “We are committed to finding a candidate who represents the community, values public safety, and can help restore faith in the City’s criminal justice system.”

Conclusion

Gardner’s resignation has sparked controversy and criticism from Bailey, but the focus now shifts to finding a replacement who can serve the people of St. Louis with integrity and dedication.
