That’s it Republicans… get a taste for impeaching your own… feels goooooood, doesn’t it?
Why has it taken so long to get this on the calendar?
When Gov. Rod Blagojevich got indicted, the IL state lege booted him out in under two months.
The longer the process takes, the closer to the midterms. Besides, Blago was just corrupt, whereas this guy is a sexual predator. Takes longer for a bunch of white men to figure that one out.
Also, wasn’t that lege run by Democrats?
They’ve got a homegrown expert on “legitimate” sexual assault. This should be easy to sort out.
Hang on, Guv! We need you to stay in to as close to mid-terms as possible. Need to pick up as many blue seats as possible!
Isn’t Greitens suing the AG, who is also a Senate candidate?
I believe that issue should be decided before impeachment.
I’m not sure if he’s suing him, but he put in for a restraining order against him. Which to me appears really weak. “He’s being mean to me, so I don’t want him near me or to bother me anymore! WAAHHH!!!”
The guy is through, politically, but you would think that, if he had any balls whatsoever, which is questionable since, after all, he is a conservative Republican, he would just say, “Why in the hell should I resign when Donald Trump has committed hundreds more offenses than I have, and all of you kneel before him like he is some golden idol?”
That’s essentially what he’s doing. #wellblesshisheart
There must be an available position as the ambassador to some lovely country: the Central African Republic; the Democratic Republic of the Congo; and Somalia, for example.
OTOH, they have enough problems. Sending the governor would be cruel.
I dunno. It takes a special kind of…ego…to keep hanging on when both parties hate you and your own is leading the charge.
They’re “debating” impeaching this guy? It’s like debating the merits of penicillin for an STD.
Should be interesting. Can’t wait to hear what his defenders have to say.
Yes. Blago is also a Democrat. The lege was quite willing to remove him anyway.
Greitens also had a confidential agreement with the charity that he may have beached.
And lied to to a ethics commission.
What a total jerk, thinking that he could hide all of this information, and planned to run for President after his governor term was over.
But
