And things get stranger in the McCloskey Case

Good day all. The case of the corrupt prosecutor, Kim Gardner and her innocent victims, the McCloskey’s, continues to get even weirder. It now appears that the Circuit Attorney’s office, (What we call the District Attorney), flat out threatened the police if they didn’t arrest the McCloskeys.

Recently, the Attorney General for the State of Missouri filed papers to have the case against the McCloskeys dismissed. As that works it’s way through the system, more information has been coming out on how the Circuit Attorney’s office actually works. A few weeks ago it was learned that the assistant C.A. had the pistol that Mrs. McCloskey was waving around didn’t work. (Which the McCloskeys were fully aware of since they had disabled it)

When the weapon was examined by a forensics technician and determined that it had been rendered nonfunctional, the Assistant City Attorney had the tech fix the gun and then declared it was fully operational. (This is called “Tampering with evidence” and is a no no) Now it’s coming out that Gardner’s office threatened the police involved in the investigation, telling them to file charges or blaming the police for the delays. Here are the details from KDSK:

The lead St. Louis police detective investigating the McCloskey case refused to sign at least two versions of court documents prosecutors drafted, according to a review of those documents obtained by 5 On Your Side.

In addition, police contend at least one person in the crowd was armed and another was wearing a bullet-resistant vest, after analyzing videos taken June 28, when the couple confronted protesters with guns.

The police originally saw this as a classic case of self defense under the Castle Doctrine and were looking at charging the “Protesters” who knocked down the gate and forced their way onto the property. This is why the police had no plans to charge the McCloskeys. However, Kim Gardner is well known for abusing her position and punishing her political rivals and anyone who she doesn’t like.

The documents obtained by 5 On Your Side include an email Gardner’s Assistant Circuit Attorney Chris Hinckley sent to the lead investigator on the case, Sgt. Curtis Burgdorf. Hinckley emailed police the day before the McCloskeys were served with a search warrant, stating it needed to happen “now.”

“At this point, everything points to these weapons being real and loaded, but no one has asked or confirmed,” he wrote. “Come trial, they’ll say they were waiving around a BB gun and an air rifle.”

It’s becoming obvious that Gardner’s office was going to ignore the State Constitution and the laws regarding self defense and the castle doctrine.

Hinckley also wrote to Burgdorf’s commander, Maj. Angela Coonce.

“Our office is receiving inquiries from the public and press about a warrant application and potential charges. We’ve thus far said the matter ‘remains under investigation.’ I’d really like to avoid pointing to a police follow-up request as the hold-up, but I won’t control the messaging if this goes on any longer. Please see what you can do to help this along. Again, I’m asking for priority on the firearms issue.”

That sounds like a threat to me. Like all good CommuNazis, the first goal is to strip away anyone’s means of defense, both from the mobs and from totalitarian thugs like Hinckley and Gardner.

That was when the search warrant was issued and the rifle seized. The pistol was already in the hands of the McCloskey’s attorney, and he turned it over to the police.

Once the pistol was in the hands of the Circuit Attorney’s office, they had it checked for functionality. It has been reported that the pistol was nonfunctional. If true, it would make the already spurious charges more impossible to prove.

Hinckley ordered the crime lab to disassemble and reassemble Patricia McCloskey’s gun and signed a court document stating that it was “capable of lethal use” at the time she pointed it at protesters.

In other words, tamper with the evidence and lie under oath.

In a motion, Gardner wrote that the law allows prosecutors to say both of the McCloskeys guns were readily capable of lethal use, “even without proof that they were functional or loaded at the time of the incident.”

Actually, no it doesn’t, not in the circumstances the McCloskeys faced. However, the armed thug waving around his gun during the commission of multiple crimes certainly does. Care to guess if the Corrupt Kim Gardner is prosecuting that person?

The McCloskey’s attorney, Joel Schwartz, said Patricia McCloskey’s gun was not functional because it was once used as a prop in a trial. The McCloskeys are both attorneys.

Which can easily be verified by court documents. The McCloskeys would have had to work with the court officers to insure the pistol was non functional and unloaded in case a criminal got his or her hands on it. You can bet the defense team already has that documentation along with the names of the officers involved in verifying the pistol couldn’t be used.

He said Gardner’s interpretation of the law is wrong.

“It’s a loose interpretation of the statute and the law requires a weapon to be operable at the time of an offense,” he said.

The lead detective finally signed the probable cause document to secure the warrant, however it had to go through two revisions before it was signed. The detective, Curtis Burgdorf, had some serious questions and concerns.

Hinckley characterized the protest as “peaceful and organized” and that it was “calling attention to racial inequities in the criminal justice system.” Burgdorf wrote that the evidence he gathered showed the protest was to call for the resignation of Mayor Lyda Krewson. The final document called it “a protest march.”
Hinckley wrote that Patricia McCloskey’s was “armed with a semi-automatic handgun.” Burgdorf wrote the phrase should read, “What appears to be a semi-automatic handgun.” Hinckley responded, in part, “You cannot be serious with this one. Again, this is really problematic.” Ultimately, the document read: “What was later determined to be a semi-automatic handgun.”
Hinckley called Mark McCloskey’s gun an “assault” rifle. Burgdorf called the word “assault” a propaganda term. Hinckley disagreed, but it was left out of the final document.
Hinckley wrote that the protesters passed through an “open gate” onto private property. Burgdorf said he didn’t know whether the gate guarding the private street was open when protesters went through it, but that, at some point, it was damaged. Hinckley responded: “Your points here are really problematic. It seems to go beyond oversight and into purposeful ignorance. I suggest you very quickly re-assess this evidence.” Ultimately the document Burgdorf signed reads, “protesters walked through a gate.”
Hinckley wrote that Mark McCloskey’s gun was “visibly loaded with an ammunition clip.” Burgdorf wrote that he would have to verify that detail because it wasn’t mentioned in his report or interviews with them. Hinckley wrote back “Seriously??!!” Ultimately, the document did not include the phrase Hinckley wrote.
Hinckley wrote that both victims, identified only by their initials, “feared that the defendant might fire her weapon due to her finger being on the trigger and her highly agitated demeanor.” Burgdorf wrote that the term “angrily” was subjective and he didn’t like it. Hinckley wrote, “It’s a fact and an element of the offense.” The final document did not include the word “angrily”.

This shows that Hinckley and Gardner were and are intent in railroading the McCloskeys into prison. Hinckley was becoming frustrated that Detective Burgdorf wasn’t falling into line. It appears that Detective Burgdorf was more concerned with the facts in the case and the law and not in trying to railroad innocent people into prison for political reasons. Just how upset was Hinckley? He left a voicemail with Burgdorf that somehow ended up in the hands of KSDK’s 5 on your side.

On it, (The voicemail), he states: “Curtis, you need to call me back. I wrote a long email to you trying to ask a bunch of questions about whatever it is you said some was (expletive). Now we need to straighten this out because I’m about done with this crap. Call me back.”

It just gets worse for Gardner and her henchman Hinckley. Now the police, (And the defense team” have videos and recordings from the thugs and they are not showing “Peaceful Protesters.” They show that this was a mob of thugs and they were making flat out threats against the McCloskeys.

This is one of the reasons that the State Attorney General for Missouri has stepped into the case. Kim Gardner and Chris Hinckley appear to be actively working to violate the constitutional and civil rights of the McCloskeys and actively protecting the BLM terrorists who were threatening them.

I have read that Gardner, who recently managed to buy herself a victory in her primary with George Soros’s money, is looking at several felony investigations into her office. It’s entirely possible that she my push forward with this case, (She is fairly stupid as well as corrupt it seems), and might end up on trial herself. I wonder how she will look in orange?
