A former FBI agent hired by the St. Louis circuit attorney to investigate criminal allegations against then-Gov. Eric Greitens has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor evidence tampering in connection with his conduct during the case.
William Tisaby, 69, admitted Wednesday that he failed to turn over certain documents to the governor’s defense attorneys, including notes he took during an interview with the woman at the center of the case. He had faced seven felony counts, including allegations that he lied during a March 2018 deposition about the investigation.
“There was no malice in this man’s heart,” Tisaby’s attorney, Jermaine Wooten, said in an interview after the plea hearing. “It was more an issue of negligence in this matter. He just went into that deposition really not prepared.”
Jury selection was to begin Thursday, with a pool of 48 residents to face questioning from Wooten and Robert Russell, a special prosecutor handling the case. Wooten said up until the last minute, his client was set to go to trial.
“We met late Monday with Mr. Tisaby, along with his wife, and they just felt because of his health decline, along with her health situation, they thought it was just in their best interest to enter a plea of guilty,” Wooten said.
Wooten added he believed that had his client gone to trial, prosecutors would have had difficulty proving that any of the things they say Tisaby lied about affected the underlying case against Greitens.

It was an honest mistake that took four years to rectify.

Pretty soon, they’re going to have to rewrite the qualifications to gain employment with the FBI. If you are already corrupt, or are willing to be corrupted as a member of a highly, corrupt, and sleazy agency, please apply.

The prosecutor willfully was part of the plan and the fbi pimp knew they lied and fabricated evidence.
