Not *complete* good news, but a step in the right direction:

St. Louis Prosecutor Taken Off Case Of Couple Who Brandished Guns At BLM Protesters

Kim Gardner is the prosecutor who decided that the act of guarding your home is a criminal one by arresting and charging the McCloskeys. She subseqeuently used her persecution of these people for political fundraising, showing that this is all about a show trial. She has more to her list of shameful acts than just that though. She sounds like a real winner:

her failed prosecution of then-Gov. Eric Greitens. That latter case actually resulted in one of Gardner’s own investigators being indicted and hundreds of thousands of taxpayers dollars being spent to defend Gardner herself in subsequent litigation.

In January, Gardner filed a bizarre federal civil rights lawsuit alleging a vast, racist conspiracy against her by the city, the St. Louis police officers union and others. In September, U.S. District Judge John Ross summarily dismissed her 32-page complaint as disjointed and unsupported by facts.

And, of course, after all this nonsense she won re-election.
