Missouri AG's $25K Flyer Feud Lands Sam Page In Jail Time Bingo

In a truly ground-shaking political thriller set in the land of barbecue and lightning bugs, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey turns up the heat on St. Louis County Executive Sam Page for the diabolical crime of spending $25,000 taxpayer dollars on flyers! Yep, flyers that warned voters in April about empowering the County Council to fire department heads—shady, right? Bailey grabbed Page's cellphone in late July, then grand juried him for felony stealing by deceit and election-law violations. Bailey, a MAGA fanboy who will soon co-run the FBI with Dan Bongino, insists these mailers crossed from legal how-to-vote-info into illegal tax-funded persuasion. Page's crime? Not pocketing a dime, just allegedly convincing voters with justice-inspired flyers—oh, and ignoring lawyer's edits. If convicted, Page faces up to 10 years in prison, $10K fines, and possibly losing his doctor license because yep, before politics, he was an anesthesiologist—putting people to sleep may now be his fallback plan. As Trump recruits Bailey to federal power, Missouri becomes a testing ground for political showdowns that can involve weaponized flyer mail. Kansas City barbeque, meet bureaucracy chaos—this is democracy’s spicy new flavor!
