Hint to all Soros funded prosecutors around the nation. If you decide to prosecute citizens for purely political reasons, choosing to do so against citizens who are also highly skilled trial attorneys is probably a poor career move:
The circuit attorney for the city of St. Louis has been disqualified from prosecuting Mark and Patricia McCloskey, a local couple facing felony charges after defending their home with weapons when protesters marched through their neighborhood in June, according to reports.
The content of some campaign fundraising emails by Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner infringed on the McCloskeys’ right to receive a fair trial, Circuit Judge Thomas Clark II ruled Thursday, according to the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
Gardner’s emails suggested that by charging the McCloskeys in July, she appeared to have “initiated a criminal prosecution for political purposes,” the judge wrote, according to the newspaper.
“Like a needle pulling thread, she links the defendant and his conduct to her critics,” Clark wrote. “These emails are tailored to use the June 28 incident to solicit money by positioning her against defendant and her more vocal critics.”
Go here to read the rest. The civil rights violation suit against Kim Gardner and her office will be a joy to behold.

Well, at least the St. Louis City Circuit Court still has at least one judge who will do his job. Good for him.
Note, the ‘protestors’ broke down the gate of a gated community and menaced people on their property. That none of them were prosecuted and the McCloskeys were is the scandal.

Also, apparently, one of the guns used was actually a prop gun. The trigger mechanism was purposefully tampered with so it would never fire. When the police seized the gun they fixed it so it would fire again. Talk about manufacturing evidence.
