Missouri case that toppled GOP governor boomerangs on Soros-backed prosecutor
Just the News ^ | March 5th 2020 | Christine Dolan and John Solomon

Kimberly Gardner made history in 2016, roaring to an election victory as St. Louis city’s first African-American chief prosecutor on a campaign funded heavily by the liberal mega-donor George Soros. Four years later, she finds herself under investigation and her chief investigator already indicted for a prosecution gone bad, one that forced Missouri’s Republican governor to resign in what some now believe may have been a political attack.

Gardner, a Democrat and the city’s circuit attorney, was forced in 2018 to withdraw her indictment accusing Gov. Eric Greitens of felony invasion of privacy for allegedly taking a picture of his scantily clad girlfriend and threatening to release it if she talked about their affair. Gardner’s office dropped the charge after admitting she did not have proof of the photo or its transmission.

Investigators now allege the Greitens prosecution, which forced the governor to resign less than two years into his tenure, was built on lies that included perjury and hiding exculpatory evidence that would have helped demonstrate Greitens' innocence, court documents show.

Soros, one of the largest liberal benefactors in history, donated $630,000 that year to a political action committee called Safety and Justice Committee. That super PAC in turn donated more than $204,000 as an in-kind donation to Gardner’s election. Soros’ support accounted for about two-thirds of her total campaign donations of nearly $300,000, according to a post-election filing with the Missouri Ethics Commission.

But, she accomplished the mission. She got Greitens out of office.

It doesn’t matter to Soros. He accomplished what he wanted - to smear Greitens and end his political career. Soros is demonic. He has NO ethics.

“... which forced the governor to resign...”. How was he forced? Sounds like he was either guilty or just another rubbery needed squishy R.

Any guy who invites a female hairstylist to do work on him in his home without his wife their is the sort of person who would also be found with a girl named Tiffany or a red-head.

Such people should not be put in places of power, even if the Dems would give them a pass.

The bimbo was planted by the democrat AG who opposed Greitens in the governor race. Read the article.

So you think the governor should just cave in when caught in a personal sin? Would Trump?

> smear Greitens and end his political career

Much worse than that. He set the MO R party in the wrong direction. The fuddy-duddy old white guy governor PRE ANNOUNCED that he will only seek one term against the fructuous young white girl state auditor opposing him. He probably thinks he can’t lose.

Missouri is more conservative than many other states in some ways, but the undertow of feminism and drug abuse in the state has been particularly nasty and destructive to families, the economy and freedoms.

Globalism in Missouri businesses and politicians has also been a problem.
