☕ Morning fam,
Last week’s indictments in St. Louis City and St. Louis County is cause for not only audits, but to re-examine the ‘suicide” deaths of deaths of auditor/Governor candidate Tom Schweich (R) and later his assistant, as well as Kim Gardner’s prosecution of Eric Greitens (R) who went on to win that seat. Gardner is currently waiting judgement from the MO Supreme court for playing dirty to get him.
St. Louis is in reaction mode, the powers that be throughout the region are scrambling, desperately trying to minimize the fallout from last weeks indictments in City Hall and St. Louis County. The problem with that response is there are more indictments to come and the way to jump out in front of this is to put a halt on all any new business deals or contracts, do internal audits of all departments within City Hall and the County Council including the Mayor’s and County Exec offices by the feds because local and state auditors may be compromised.
And lets not forget the auditor Tom Schweich (R) who was running for Governor promising to fight corruption in the state Capital, who ‘committed suicide‘ after contacting the local paper for an interview scheduled later that afternoon and his assistant Spence Jackson ALSO committing suicide because he missed his boss, that’s the story I kid you not. And that Schweich committed suicide because he was ‘exposed’ for being Jewish.
Their deaths should be reexamined given the depth of corruption already exposed and as well as re-examining Kim Gardner’s sudden prosecution of Eric Greitens (R) who went on to win the Governor’s seat Schweich ran for… especially considering her investigator in the Greitens case was charged with multiple felonies, pleading down to one and she herself reaching a deal with the Disciplinary Council for behavior in the Greitens case a grand jury called “reprehensible” and in an unprecedented move wrote a letter requesting the Council forward it to the judge which stated,
“Our work exposed us to activity and behaviors in the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s office that we considered disturbing and unethical. What we observed was not inadvertent nor inconsequential but was calculated deceit and/or outright incompetence; neither of which is acceptable behavior for a person holding this public office.”
The Council did not forward their letter to the MO Supreme Court and instead recommended a slap on the wrist.
Gardner is currently awaiting her fate from the MO Supreme Court.
