Missouri Gov. Greitens to resign amid scandals investigation

Another one bites the dust:

"Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, a sometimes brash outsider whose unconventional resume as a Rhodes Scholar and Navy SEAL officer made him a rising star in Republican politics, abruptly announced his resignation Tuesday after a scandal involving an affair with his former hairdresser led to a broader investigation by prosecutors and state legislators.

The 44-year-old governor made the announcement nearly 17 months after taking the oath as Missouri's chief executive with a pledge to root out "corrupt career politicians." The investigations of him widened to include questions about whether he had violated the law in financing the campaign.

Greitens said his resignation would take effect Friday."

for doing what bill Clinton did?

Not exactly:

"A St. Louis grand jury indicted Greitens on Feb. 22 on one felony count of invasion of privacy for allegedly taking a photo of the woman without her consent at his home in 2015, before he was elected governor. The charge was dismissed during jury selection, but a special prosecutor was considering whether to refile charges.

In April, the local St. Louis prosecutor's office charged Greitens with another felony, alleging that he improperly used the donor list for a charity that he'd founded to raise money for his 2016 campaign.

Less than two weeks ago, the Missouri Legislature began meeting in special session to consider whether to pursue impeachment proceedings to try to oust Greitens from office"

Hmmm..sounds..familiar:


"The woman's then-husband released a secretly recorded conversation in which she described the alleged incident. The woman later told a Missouri House investigative committee that Greitens restrained, slapped, shoved and threatened her during a series of sexual encounters that at times left her crying and afraid.

Greitens said the allegations amounted to a "political witch hunt," and vowed to stay in office. But the report's release created a firestorm, with both Republicans and Democrats calling for his resignation."

Wait for all the 'but someone else did something else so why isn't he innocent' threads to follow.

Conservatives have given up on argument because they can't defend anyone they vote for.

Hasn't hurt Trump yet. I've got a feeling that when the shoe drops, Trump will be hurt by a lot of behavior that hasn't mattered up till now.

Bullshit, we just love the moralizing you people do, when you have supported this shit in the past and encouraged it.....you guys are the party of hedonism.

[Claudette]

Well he resigned.

Sure didn't see Clinton resigning when he was POTUS and his bullshit with Lewinski came to light.

In fact most of the Dems didn't see what he did as wrong.

At least the ex SEAL resigned post haste.
