"This was a consensual relationship that lasted multiple months and was years ago before Eric was elected Governor.”

Years ago? It was 16 months before the 2016 election!

Yes – by the time they’re done with the story, he was Obama’s hand-picked candidate for the governorship.

Me neither. No idea what the ‘more’ is but earlier article mentioned the former husband & wife getting calls from law enforcement prior to coming out with story. Could all center around this one affair but could also involve another in which police were involved.

“This allegation is completely false,” the lawyer, Jim Bennett, said in an email. “It never happened. There was never any violence. Anything reported otherwise is untrue and we will explore pursuing all legal action. This was a consensual relationship that lasted multiple months and was years ago before Eric was elected Governor.”

So will anyone who says, “Yeah, but Greitens wasn’t a real Democrat,” be accused of being a purity troll? >8)

The thing I find most shameful about this whole thing is that he (allegedly) slapped and blackmailed a woman.

You know the details are extra sketchy when you are marketing it as your normal, everyday months long affair.

If that’s your best sell, your product has some serious faults.

Blackmail is serious business. The sordid details of an extramarital affair are not newsworthy, period.

I was very disappointed to see “EXCLUSIVE: Missouri Gov. Accused Of Blackmail Allegedly Slapped Ex-Lover” in the top slot on TPM. The fact embedded in that headline is not newsworthy. The headline promises only sensationalistic details.

From this point on, I will be watching more closely to see whether my prime membership is justified.
