Missouri's Sunshine Law Is About to Shine a Light on George Soros

On Friday, Missouri’s state Supreme Court ordered Democrat St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner to comply with a records request to reveal details about her failed prosecution of former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens.
In 2018, Gardner, who was one of the early county prosecutors bankrolled by anti-American billionaire George Soros, accused Greitens of taking a compromising photo of a woman with whom he had an affair. However, she eventually dropped the prosecution after admitting that she could not produce the alleged photo upon which she had based her case.
Gardner also hired a former FBI agent to investigate the purported felony privacy invasion charge against the governor because local police refused to join her on the case. Her investigator, ex-FBI agent William Tisaby, ended up pleading guilty to one misdemeanor count of evidence tampering in the case.

Were it not for his guilty plea, the corrupt ex-FBI agent was to be tried on six counts of perjury and one count of evidence tampering with an indictment that accused him of hiding evidence and lying during the investigation into Greitens, who is currently running for U.S. Senate.
Unlike what would happen for anyone else, the court quickly sentenced Tisaby to probation — and then immediately turned around and suspended the sentence and released him.
Greitens, who maintained from the start that he took no compromising photos of anyone, was so wounded politically that he resigned from the governor’s office.
After the incident ended, in July of 2019, Just the News’ John Solomon filed a public records request under Missouri’s Sunshine Law for several years of communications between Gardner and the Missouri Workforce Housing Association, state Reps. Stacy Newman and Jay Barnes, and several others.
After initially just ignoring the request, Gardner refused to comply, claiming that the documents requested were not subject to the Sunshine Law.
Solomon filed an appeal of Gardner’s refusal and won. But Gardner took her case to the state Supreme Court. Now, the state’s highest court has refused to hear Gardner’s final appeal and ordered her to hand over the documents.
The court also ruled that Gardner would have to pay Solomon’s attorney and court fees.
“Today is a great day for public transparency,” added Kimberly Hermann, general counsel for the Southeastern Legal Foundation. “We have been fighting alongside John Solomon for nearly three years to obtain public records showing Kimberly Gardner’s communications with liberal megadonor George Soros. Gardner has exhausted her appeals and our legal win is now final.
“Today’s groundbreaking decision reaffirms what we have known all along — Soros-funded prosecutor Kim Gardner conducted a political witch hunt,” Greitens said in a tweet on Monday.
