"Far left billionaire George Soros has been systematically targeting district attorney races throughout the United States for several years now. Several of his candidates are already in office creating havoc.

"In St. Louis City George Soros was Kim Gardner’s biggest donor in her race for Circuit Attorney.

"Kim Gardner (pictured, left) may be the most radical Soros-funded Circuit Attorney in the nation today.

"Kim Gardner is so intolerable that two dozen attorneys and more than one-third of the trial lawyers left the office when she was hired. And this is a Democrat dominated office!

"In August 2018 Kim Gardner announced her attorneys will no longer accept cases from 28 different St. Louis City police officers. Gardner called it her “exclusion list.”

"Gardner did not tell the officers what they did to get on her list but they were being censored." . . .

Hawley Asks Barr to Launch Civil Rights Probe into Prosecutor Targeting McCloskeys  Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) submitted a request to the U.S. Justice Department for a civil rights investigation into Gardner, arguing that she is targeting the McCloskeys out of political motives. Writing to Attorney General William Barr, Hawley argued, “There is no question under Missouri law that the McCloskeys had the right to own and use their firearms to protect themselves from threatened violence, and that any criminal prosecution for these actions is legally unsound.”

The senator made clear that Gardner’s true agenda is not justice or public safety, but politics: “The only possible motivation for the investigation, then, is a politically motivated attempt to punish this family for exercising their Second Amendment rights.”
