DC: Police showed up to execute a search warrant at the office of St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, and she showed them the door.
Gardner is currently the subject of a special prosecutor’s investigation into the handling of the case against former Republican Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens — specifically regarding William Tisaby, who was hired by Gardner to investigate Greitens. Tisaby is accused of perjuring himself during that investigation and Gardner is being investigated under the suspicion that she suborned that perjury.
Gardner filed a motion Monday after she refused to comply with the warrant as served, claiming that the warrant was too broad. In a statement released by her office, she also argued that it was a “fishing expedition” and amounted to retaliation against her office for working to “hold the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department accountable.”
The warrant is a thinly-veiled attempt to circumvent the law and the people of St. Louis in retribution for my efforts to hold the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department accountable and reform our criminal justice system. I am asking the Court to protect the information of thousands of St. Louis citizens from this clear fishing expedition. I will not allow shameful overreach to jeopardize the public’s interest and safety.
Judge Michael Mullen, who is presiding over the grand jury investigation into Gardner and signed the search warrant she rebuffed, chastised her in open court Tuesday and accused her office of “playing games” instead of cooperating with the investigation. read more
If I tried to refuse a search warrant, I would likely end up in jail immediately or maybe even dead at the hands of a SWAT team.
As they say, RHIP.
I don’t care if the judge is not amused or has a sternly-worded letter for Gardner. Gardner should be in jail.
“… the search warrant she rebuffed …”
Don’t Try This at Home!
When the Upholders of the Law repute the Law we are living in Anarchy – or, worse, a Totalitarian State. Ms. Gardner is showing us what the Law is worth and how much respect it is due.

She will now accept the search warrant; the evidence has been disposed of. What a joke.
Silly judge. The potentoal perp is in a protected class.
You have no authority over those tinpot godlings.
