Kim Gardner resigned today. St. Louis can finally breathe a sigh of relief:

Gardner is one of the first progressive prosecutors whom Soros, a liberal billionaire and Democrat mega-donor, bankrolled in 2016 and again for her re-election in 2020. She announced last month that she would seek a third term. Her resignation is effective June 1.

For years, Gardner's office has faced criticism for mishandling cases and office dysfunction. The final straw for Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey came in February, when a teenage volleyball player visiting St. Louis with her team was struck by a car and lost both of her legs.

A man was charged in the crash with assault, armed criminal action and operating a motor vehicle without a valid license. He was out on bond awaiting trial for a separate armed robbery case despite violating the terms of his bond several dozen times.

In addition to actively not doing her job, Kim Gardner was evidently pursuing graduate studies in nursing(!). Because why not.

As Ace puts it:
GOPe, take Note: Andrew Bailey did not sit back and say, "We can't prosecute her for neglect of office, That's Not Who We Are, we can't interfere with the people's choice, we can't afford the media heat."

No. He acted, boldly -- I can't imagine how many "Racism!" attacks this man has gone through the past months -- and he won.
