Blood is in the water.
Unlike Greitens, AG Hawley is the darling of the MO GOP and running for Claire McCaskill’s seat. If he fails to defeat Claire, he will be running for Greitens job. Getting Greitens out of the way now is something every MO Republican wants even if they won’t admit it.
I don’t have much confidence in the AG after reading the story about the self-deleting message app investigation.
Basically, they asked the governor and his staff whether they were using the app(s) for anything subject to the state’s records act, and the staff said “nuh-uh, not us.” (Oh, and just btw, the main app used, Confide, has a bunch of, uh, features that could yield information to determine whether the staffers were telling the truth, but there’s no indication the AG tried to get that information.)
Funny that Hawley didn’t want to go after Greitens until he was unpopular. In GOP circles, that’s called “courage.”
Unless God was invoked AG Hawley would care.
As for the email list we’ve know about this for awhile. The rallying cry for the Greiten’s base is “where’s the picture” and “why hasn’t the woman come forward”?
And Ms. Kirkland ends the piece with her trademark knife plunge and twist into the heart of the subject’s dishonesty.
The governor campaigned on a platform of transparency.
The shittiest part of this cesspool is that The Mission Continues does great work and is a great concept.
Looks like things are going great for Greitens.
Former stripper who filmed lovers seeks pardon from Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens
A former law student and male stripper prosecuted for invasion of privacy for secretly filming sex partners two decades ago is now seeking a pardon from Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, indicted under the same criminal statute last week.
A letter sent Sunday to a lawyer for Greitens cites Greitens’ own motion to dismiss his case and his “published position on this statute,” and requests that the lawyer forward the request.
Watkins [the lawyer], who has never shied from publicity or controversy, said in a news release that it would be “mighty hypocritical” for Greitens to reject the request given Greitens’ dismissal motion.“What’s good for the governor should be good for the gander,” Watkins said. Watkins also represents the ex-husband of the woman with whom Greitens had an affair.
So the Missouri GOP is eating their own. Nice to see. Maybe it will produce an answer for this question: Will John Danforth ever apologize for pushing Clarence Thomas for SCOTUS?
We have lost another shining up-and-comer of the Republican Party.
Who will replace these men?!
No.
She is a keeper.
Anybody know her @ name? I prefer to use them when discussing folks.
Nothing I tried worked. Maybe some of the writers were getting too many notifications and deactivated the @ name?
There is an endless supply of scumbags in the GOP, they will just pull another one out of the cesspool. They are given birth like the Uruk-Hai in the Lord of the Rings. The critical question is when will enough of the public become aware of what the GOP has become to vote them out of power?
The Governor has been a very bad boy and now people are looking under this, that and the others of his pet rocks. Who knows what they’ll find but one thing is certain; he will not be the Governor for long. It’s embarrassing to watch him clinging to power.
Could well be. Could always tweet her and ask, I suppose. But I guess she’s earned some privacy, or at least some peace and quiet.
They want her to come forward so they can send her death threats.
@ names are for closers.
There are some stock piling stones as we speak, but the question remains who is going to get stoned?
@jakebarnes Since you seem familiar with MO, do you know how this is possible?
… the AG announced he had found no wrongdoing in a separate investigation into the use of a secret self-deleting messaging application by Greitens and his staffers.
Doesn’t MO have any laws about records retention? Or did they include a big electronic messaging loophole?
