It's undoubtedly a bold effort to address a lingering issue that has been otherwise ignored during the midterm mania. And so, take a look the narrative and reasoning for the legal argument with a highlight that should send shivers down the spines of local voters . . .

PETITION

On Monday, Nov. 5th Mike Sanders will begin serving his federal sentence for his illegal acts regarding his campaign committees. The federal prosecutor said Sanders used these committees for “underhanded political tricks.” At sentencing, the federal judge ordered even more time then the prosecution asked for due to his “protracted criminal behavior” noting that the federal charge was “not just a one-time lapse in judgment.”

This lawsuit filed in Jackson County Circuit Court demonstrates another one of Mike Sanders’ “underhanded political tricks” and “protracted criminal behavior” with these campaign committees where he used these funds to interfere with a business contract. The law in Missouri is clear: tortious interference with business relationships occurs where someone intentionally acts to prevent someone from successfully maintaining business relationships with others. Michael Sanders acted with other defendants to break the law and they did it with promises, influence peddling, and payments from the “Sanders For Jackson County” committee and others. The “Sanders for Jackson County” committee is still active today and has $435,000 in the account.

It is unfathomable that Mike Sanders will be sitting in federal custody but still have access to almost half a million dollars in campaign money to carry on his underhanded political tricks from a prison cell. A request for a temporary restraining order has been filed to prevent him or his treasurer from accessing those funds until this case is litigated and a verdict is rendered. 

Sanders cut a plea deal early in his federal criminal case with the federal prosecutor to avoid other criminal charges but this lawsuit is the only ethical thing to do to hold him accountable for some of his and the committee's other illegal activities.
