Republican Missouri Governor threatened mistress with "compromising" photo
JEFFERSON CITY • Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens and his wife, Sheena Greitens, issued an extraordinary statement late Wednesday acknowledging that he had an extramarital affair in the past and that the couple “has dealt with this together honestly and privately.”
The statement came as a St. Louis television station aired a segment alleging that, during that affair, Greitens took a compromising photograph of the woman and threatened to publicize it if she exposed him. The statement from Greitens and his wife didn’t address that part of the allegation.
The bizarre turn of events came just hours after Greitens delivered his second State of the State speech in Jefferson City.
In its report, KMOV (Channel 4) quoted the former husband of the woman who purportedly had an affair with Greitens. The station did not quote the woman in its story, nor did it name the woman or her ex-husband.
The station played portions of an audio recording that the then-husband says he made in March 2015, surreptitiously, of his then-wife confessing to a sexual encounter with Greitens days earlier.
The Post-Dispatch also has possession of the audio, and the newspaper has interviewed the ex-husband. The newspaper decided against writing a story based solely on the husband and the audio recording, because the woman in question has consistently declined to be interviewed. However, Greitens’ public acknowledgment of an affair made it necessary to revisit that decision.
“You’re never going to mention my name, otherwise this picture will be everywhere,” the woman quoted Greitens as telling her after he took the photo while she was bound, blindfolded and partly undressed.

the wives "standing by their man" and I don't get it either -- I'd tell him to kiss my ass, which is basically what NC governor Mark Sanders" wife did when he came back from " hiking the ,Appalachi Trail", if you remember that one. 
She told him to stand by himself and then she divorced him. My kind of lady.
Nothing happened. God is good. (Arabic: الله أكبر )
