Gardner, a far-left prosecutor bankrolled by Democrat megadonor George Soros, announced on Thursday that she is resigning from her position after facing pressure from the state\u2019s Republican attorney general to resign and as she is facing a criminal contempt investigation for failing to do her job.<\/h3>\n<p>Gardner repeatedly portrayed herself as a victim throughout her statement, claiming that opponents were attacking her by making lots of \u201crecords requests\u201d that stopped her office from functioning. She also claimed that criticisms of her \u201chard-working line attorneys\u201d impacted their ability to perform their jobs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>She bemoaned that pressure to remove her from office mirrored Florida Governor Ron DeSantis\u2019 decision to remove a Soros-backed state attorney last year.<\/li>\n<li>Another Soros-backed state attorney in Florida said last week that she also expects DeSantis to remove her from office in the near future.<\/li>\n<li>DeSantis is the only governor to remove a Soros-backed prosecutor from office.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Missouri Judge Michael Noble said last week that he was appointing a special prosecutor to build a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-orders-peter-navarro-to-turn-over-private-emails-that-discussed-white-house-work\/\" title=\"Judge Orders Peter Navarro to Turn Over Private Emails That Discussed White House Work\">criminal contempt case<\/a> against Gardner and Assistant Circuit Attorney Chris Desilets because they had repeatedly failed to show up in court.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe circuit attorney\u2019s office appears to be a rudderless ship of chaos,\u201d Noble said in a court. \u201cMs. Gardner is the circuit attorney and it is her duty is to manage the caseload of each staff member. Mr. Desilets has approximately 104 felony cases. Any prudent practitioner would expect such a caseload to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-accuses-no-show-missouri-prosecutor-of-contempt-calls-office-a-rudderless-ship-of-chaos\/\" title=\"Judge Accuses No-Show Missouri Prosecutor of Contempt, Calls Office \u2018A Rudderless Ship of Chaos\u2019\">create countless irreconcilable conflicts<\/a>. It does not appear she has made any reasonable efforts to prevent the resulting chaos. It appears that Ms. Gardner has complete indifference and a conscious disregard for the judicial process.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Gardner was already facing a campaign from Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to remove her from office because of her failure to protect victims from crime.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAs AG, I want to protect the people of St. Louis, and that includes protecting victims of crime and finding justice for them,\u201d Bailey said, adding, \u201cInstead of protecting victims, Circuit Attorney Gardner is creating them. My office will do everything in its power to restore order, and eliminate the chaos in St. Louis caused by Kim Gardner\u2019s neglect of her office.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Garnder\u2019s announcement that she is resigning comes just a few days after she declared: \u201cI ain\u2019t leaving. I ain\u2019t resigning. I ain\u2019t doing nothing.
