Missouri Gov. Greitens indicted



Gov. Eric Greitens was indicted Thursday afternoon by a St. Louis grand jury on a felony charge of invasion of privacy.

The charge stems from a 2015 affair and allegations that he threatened to release a nude photograph of the woman, taken while she was blindfolded and her hands were bound, if she ever spoke publicly about the affair.

I'm from Missouri (although I do not live there now) and some on my friends list on the Facebook loves this guy. I hope he goes to prison. I have plenty more friends that hate him.

He was a delegate for Obama in '08, so lot of his R colleagues don't trust him. I don't know about voters, but there's a chance his fellow republicans won't stand by him for long.

Rhodes scholar, former college professor, military service, governor, felon.
I'm glad to see his resume destroyed! I was worried that he would gain traction for higher office pursuits.

I saw at the top of the page that he was indicted. I remember his name but couldn't remember what. It's hard to keep up with the Gross old perverts.
