Hopelessly partisan allegations and talk of scintillating sexual proclivities dominate the discourse surrounding an elected official who has broken many promises including his pledge to clean up Missouri politics.
Here's a roundup that hopes to find news from BOTH SIDES of the issue despite the fact that it's mostly hired help and low-grade rubes now backing the Guv.
Take a look at some of the most insightful and informative stories on the sordid situation:

Developing . . .
He's toast and he's done.
ReplyDeleteIf he actually cared about serving the voters he would resign.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^^
WHY? Lets see if he's guilty first. That's what the liberal prosecutor wants is to intimidate him to step down.
Court is in a couple of weeks, lets see if there really is a picture first, isn't that what our court system is all about?
If Bill Clinton really cared about the people he would have stepped down. Funny how this goes one way for liberals!
^^^ Why should Missouri have to wait a month to have a working governor? Let him deal with his own legal mess that he created. The voters deserve BETTER.
ReplyDelete^^^Bill Clinton is not the president, and has NO BEARING WHATSOEVER in this matter. Bill Clinton was the President, this guy is the Governor. That has NO BEARING WHATSOEVER in this argument. Bill Clinton was the President from 1992-2000, this is 2018 so that NO BEARING WHATSOEVER in this argument. Jesus you old dotard, nobody has any idea what you're talking about!!!
ReplyDeleteRepublicans would never accept this kind of behavior if it was a Democrat. I'm glad a lot of decent members of the Missouri GOP are asking for the Governor to do the right thing and step down. Greitens has made a joke of their party and created a crisis that has brought state government to a standstill.
ReplyDeleteIt’s called precedent, look it up cuck.
Delete^^Hey geezer...nobody even knows who Clinton was! Get relevant or get the fuck out! Nobody has any kind of time for "remember when" or "back in my day" bullshit. If your Alzheimer's won't allow you to stay on topic, get the fuck off the blog!
ReplyDelete8:43 - If we're going to use precedent, Al Franken resigned. So, I guess there's that, cuck.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever heard of Innocent until PROVEN guilty? You idiots that call for a person to quit a job or "step down" because of an accusation are stupid.
ReplyDeleteLook at the list of evidence in this matter that was released yesterday. A photo, a professional headshot of this woman. Not a nude salacious photo. My guess is that when the woman was found out by her obviously deranged ex-husband, she lied and said Greitens had a photo and was blackmailing her.
You all are going to look so bad when the truth is finally revealed.
AND as for 8:37's claim that Missouri can't go for a month without a working governor I will give you a precedent...Kansas survived with Brownback for seven years. And yes the Bill Clinton precedent is relevant.
Now grow up and get your diapers changed.
Al Franken was guilty, cuck.
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with this dude's eyes?
ReplyDeleteGo ahead and google “Greitens”. Look at the News also from Google. All over- not just the US, but the world. No denying he started his own path.
ReplyDeleteWhat happens when his kids get older and google their dad?
Missouri deserves to be in the headlines all over the entire planet... but not for this.
Resignation should be on April 1... to be effective.
The Bill Clinton precedent is NOT relevant. Sorry it's not. We are not speaking of him, so jam it up your gaped asses. Cucks.
ReplyDelete"My guess is that when the woman was found out by her obviously deranged ex-husband, she lied and said Greitens had a photo and was blackmailing her."
ReplyDeleteWhy obviously deranged? Has anyone denied the existence of the photo?
"Al Franken was guilty, cuck."
Guilty of what?
You can still be innocent of a crime, and a creep. He absolutely should have his day in court, after he steps down. Missouri is an at-will employment state after all.
ReplyDeleteThere is much truth in Judge Sol Wachtler’s famous utterance that a prosecutor can get a grand jury to “indict a ham sandwich.” These bodies of citizens hear only evidence presented by a prosecuting attorney and they tend to believe prosecutor is ethically driven to rid society of criminals who prey on the innocent.
ReplyDeleteThere's another saying descriptive of the human mayhem that jades old cops. “You could have thrown rocks all day and not hit an innocent bystander.”
Take it from an old cop - both axioms are relevant in the recent indictment of Governor Eric Greitens.
I worked as an investigator for MO prosecuting attorneys for over 10 years. The hiring of 'private investigators' for criminal matters is unheard of and removes any premise of a professional, objective law enforcement investigation by licensed professionals who answerable to the taxpayer, instead of 'whoever is writing the checks'.
The investigators 'reporting only to Gardner, and making written reports only if she requests them' is even more troubling. The normal prosecutorial procedure is to remain impartial to the investigation other than to insist law enforcement interview every witness and leave no stone unturned in the search for and accurate reporting of all evidence, inculpatory or exculpatory. If more investigation is warranted, the case is returned for further investigation or the prosecutor's investigators assist as necessary, When the investigation is complete, a filing decision is reached based on whether the crime has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt as well as the likelihood of obtaining a conviction.
You can expect Gardner's promiscuous use of questionable prosecutorial procedure, arguably designed to limit or exculpatory evidence, her PI's training, experience, objectivity and investigative technique will be severely scrutinized before the jury. Criminal convictions require an anonymous verdict and it will be easy for the defense to convince at least some jurors there is a reasonable doubt Greitens committed any crime, much less the crime charged.
Crimes related to consensual sex between consenting adults are notoriously difficult to prove and juries are typically unsympathetic to those who waste their time over the predictable consequences of poor decision making. The other edge to that rusty sword is that voters hold public figures to the same standard.
End result? Nobody wins.
You obviously don't know much about the history of law enforcement if you think the police are beyond questioning. There is nothing inherently moral about someone who becomes a police officer, and there's nothing inherently flawed about someone who isn't.
DeleteI like that you've used the talking points to discredit it as if somehow using an unbiased third-party makes it less valid then using the police, but that's not true at all. And if you'd like a list of thousands of wrongful convictions, I'd be glad to send you to the Innocence Project where you can see call the convictions that have been exonerated due to false testimony, poor police work, and bad evidence.
Release the photos. Let's see if they were really worth sacrificing both your careers and personal lives was worth it. I doubt it.
ReplyDeleteI hope he goes to jail kicking and screaming. Maybe his followers will come out and be in a parade or something. Can we blame Hillary here???
ReplyDelete^^^^^Why not? It’s her brain dead followers that brought this up
ReplyDeleteMight we see the evidence of this big time crime before heating up the tar pit? Hell, illegal aliens break more serious laws crossing the boarder than the Gov. Then you have to consider the percentage of black fathers that don't pay child support and the STL prosecutors failure to act and you gotta wonder about the real motives in all this dog and pony show.
ReplyDelete^^^Yep and don't forget the pants-shitting geezers who do nothing all day but bitch, complain, blame others and generally serve no useful purpose. They must be tried and convicted for crimes against humanity! Let's do this!
ReplyDeleteThat crybaby Clintoon asscrack licker @8:39 etc.that said in his/her several posts not to bring up old news is one of those CRYBABY CRACKHEADS who shouts and pouts about really old statues and flags and shit that happened centuries ago.
ReplyDeleteHere is the dead on the money post right here;

In the end where is the so called picture? Put up or shut up. And the Clinton case is very relevant here but the snowflakes want to keep that injustice buried.
I suspect the statute of limitations has run out on the "Clinton case" if any; for the gov., not so much.
ReplyDeleteA prosecutor will to to indict a sitting governor for a felony based only on hearsay would and should be run out of the profession. It's very hard to believe anyone who obtained such a position would be that reckless. The fact that the indictment included references to distribution of the photo via computer makes me think this prosecutor has solid evidence.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^^^^Fine then where is it, as you saw on that evidence list it isn't there
ReplyDeleteI find it highly likely stupid dave worked anywhere for 10 years. Second, since you are trying zero cases stupid dave, the "Clinton Precedent" is irrelevant. You calling someone a a snowflake is rich being that you are a retard.
ReplyDelete^^^^^You idiot Dave was saying he agreed with another post. You just wanted to attack Dave and you just admitted to being the retard. Some of you assholes in here never read a damn thing and make up shit in your own heads. I agree the Clinton case is relevant as in he should have been thrown out of office but his fellow democrats all of them voted to dismiss the charges. Edward Kennedy also voted in favor of Clinton. Kennedy is another person who got away with murder like OJ did. Democrats ruining the world one eight year term at a time.
ReplyDelete^^Stupid dave is a retard. On that we can all agree!
ReplyDeleteSpeak for yourself ^^^^ Retard
ReplyDelete^^If you don't agree, you are a retard. Retard.
ReplyDeleteIF Botello could or would delete/block all the puerile shit-posters here the comment section might amount to something.
ReplyDeleteIt would certainly rid the comments section of pants-wetting geezer hater. However, the reality is, I wouldn't post anywhere I had to sign my name, I value anonymity. Its a slight measure of defense against the unhinged progs that riddle the streets of this Country. I suspect other introspective posters would quit as well.
ReplyDelete“Breaking news” the prosecutor says there is no picture, go figure, this was all about revenge from the beginning
ReplyDeleteRight you are Gus, glad you said that.
ReplyDeleteThe Show-Me Institute has been strangely quiet about their golden boy Greitens.
ReplyDeleteTony, you're on their payroll - why is that?
