Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, who was appointed in November of last year to finish out the term of now US Senator Eric Schmitt, is moving to fire the despicable and corrupt St. Louis Attorney Kim Gardner.
Gardner was the one who was prosecuted the McCloskeys in 2020 after they dared to point guns at a threatening BLM crowd that had broken onto their property.
Baily is making this move to fire Gardner after she refused to resign over egregious conduct by her office in allowing a 21-year-old Daniel Riley, who was out on bail awaiting a trial for armed robbery, to remain free after he had violated the terms of his bond at least 50 times.
Just this week Riley crashed his car and severely injured a 16-year-old girl who was downtown St. Louis for a volleyball tournament. She had to have both legs amputated because of Riley and Gardner.

Republican Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey moved to fire embattled Democratic St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner on Thursday after she refused to resign following a weekend accident involving a repeat offender who was free despite several violations of his bond terms.
The AG’s office started the process of filing a petition quo warranto, which is the legal mechanism under state statute that allows the Attorney General to remove a prosecutor who neglects his or her duties. Bailey will have to show a judge that Gardner neglected her duties and needs to be removed.
“This is about a quantum of evidence that demonstrates her failure to prosecute cases, failure to inform and confer with victims in cases and failure to file new cases that are referred by law enforcement agencies,” Bailey told Fox News Digital in an interview.
“I’m a former prosecutor. I’ve worked in a county prosecutor’s office, and what motivated me every day was the rule of law and finding justice for victims. And rather than finding justice for victims and protecting victims, the circuit attorney of the city of St. Louis was creating new victims. And someone’s got to hold her accountable and that’s that’s why we’re moving forward with our quo warranto,” he said.
On Wednesday, Bailey gave Gardner an ultimatum — resign or be removed — after a motorist who repeatedly violated his bond conditions on earlier charges crashed and left a teenage volleyball player with major injuries that required both her legs be amputated. Gardner’s office is the one that should be monitoring compliance with bond conditions and revoking them when those terms are violated.
The victim, Janae Edmondson, 16, visited St. Louis with her family on Saturday for a volleyball tournament. While the family was in the downtown area, 21-year-old Daniel Riley was speeding, failed to yield and caused a collision, ultimately striking and pinning Edmondson.
According to local reports, Edmondson only survived due to her father’s quick thinking and military training. She remains in the hospital in critical condition.
In the days following the crash, local reports revealed Riley was out on bail awaiting trial for a 2020 armed robbery. According to KSDK, Riley had violated the terms of his bond at least 50 times, but the circuit attorney’s office did not ask for his bond to be revoked.
Gardner should have been gone a long time ago but thankfully the new AG is moving to get her fired now.
I would hope he’d have no problem getting her removed with the preponderance of evidence in this one case alone. But I’m sure he’s got far more than that.
