St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Garner, elected the city’s top prosecutor with the help of liberal billionaire George Soros, could lose her law license over charges of professional misconduct in her pursuit of Republican then-Governor Eric Greitens. The Missouri Supreme Court’s Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel found Gardner concealed evidence and lied to courts while handling Greitens case, and concluded: “probable cause exists to believe that Respondent (Gardner) is guilty of professional misconduct.” She now faces a disciplinary hearing that could end with her losing her license to practice law. In 2018 Greitens was accused of taking a nude photograph...

When ANTIFA and other radical groups threatened to destroy St. Louis, Missouri, in 2017, then-Governor Eric Greitens, a former Navy SEAL officer, stepped in and with frontline leadership defeated them. A few months afterward, in 2018, Greitens was forced to resign from office as legal costs, which numbered in the millions, mounted following a criminal charge against him. His deputy, Mike Parson, took his place. This February, however, the Missouri Ethics Commission exonerated Greitens after a 20-month investigation. Kimberly Gardner, the George Soros-backed prosecutor who charged Greitens for crimes with no evidence is now under active criminal investigation. Moreover, the former...

Missouri R party chair and former state rep abandoned her district (MO 99) to become chair, then her candidate, a nice lady, lost to a Soros leftist. Party shirks responsibility. Josh Hawley is talking a good job, but he is responsible for the meltdown here - he essentially supported the corrupt leftist attack against Greitens. Now a young white leftist female who is running for governor has launched a scandal against Hawley just as Greitens is publicly cleared. Then the governor (Parson) announces this is his last race. How damn exciting these MO Repubicans are! What fighters. This makes me...

William Tisaby surrendered to authorities on the same day that an indictment against him was unsealed. He then pleaded not guilty at his arraignment and was released on his own recognizance under the conditions that he surrenders his passport and informs a probation officer of any travel plans. The indictment charging him with six counts of perjury and one count of tampering with physical evidence was filed under seal Friday...

Eric Greitens stormed into the governor’s office in January 2017 vowing to clean up a state government he said was corrupt. He resigned Tuesday just as abruptly as he had arrived on Missouri's political scene, his career buried under an avalanche of scandal and felony charges. Mike Parson, 63, a fellow Republican and former sheriff who served 11 years in the General Assembly before being elected as lieutenant governor in 2016, will take over as Missouri’s 57th governor. He’ll finish Greitens’ term, which runs until January 2021. A Rhodes scholar and former Navy SEAL, Greitens was once considered one of...

When Sen. Claire McCaskill looks through her looking glass these days, what does she see? ▪ A Republican governor in her home state who declared “a great victory” after a felony invasion-of-privacy charge was dropped — but who still faces possible impeachment. ▪ Gov. Eric Greitens’ allies attacking Attorney General Josh Hawley, who’s McCaskill’s likely rival this fall in the U.S. Senate race. Their beef: Hawley’s investigating — who else? — the scandal-prone governor from his own party. ▪ Rule-of-law conservatives sticking up for Greitens despite felony charges and a swirl of other allegations that multiply by the day. “We...

The criminal invasion of privacy case against Missouri Governor Eric Greitens was suddenly dismissed Monday. The announcement came after both sides went into the judge’s chambers Monday evening. The prosecution filed a dismissal with the court, but the Circuit Attorney’s Office said they plan to refile with a special prosecutor. When the dismissal was announced, Greitens and his defense had were seem smiling in court.

Missouri state prosecutors have dropped their criminal case against the Republican governor. Gov. Eric Greitens had been accused of invasion of privacy for taking a nude picture of the woman with whom he’d been having an affair. According to ABC News, prosecutors still want charges brought against the governor, but want a special prosecutor to bring them later. Prosecutors have acknowledged not having the supposed picture.

Eric Greitens was a Democrat. This must be understood if one is to make any sense out of what is happening in the Soros-funded coup in Missouri. The former Navy SEAL and head of a military charity came to his senses and switched parties, and after coming to the GOP he immediately ran for governor. Much like Donald Trump, Greitens had no political experience and was from outside the political power structure. Few thought he had a chance to win, but he did. A lot of people weren't happy about that. Greitens was very pro-police, something guaranteed to anger the...

.Embattled Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, a Republican, is declining to block from the November ballot three initiatives that could boost Democratic turnout in the midterm. Greitens faces possible impeachment in the Republican-controlled state legislature over twin scandals involving an extramarital affair and mismanagement of a charity. But the governor is defiant, and in a move interpreted as a shot at Republicans demanding his resignation, he is choosing not to exercise his authority to shift a trio of popular Democratic initiatives to the August primary. The measures would raise the minimum wage and legalize medical marijuana. Most worrisome for Republicans in...

Gov. Eric Greitens was charged Friday with felony computer tampering stemming from his use of a veterans charity’s donor list ahead of the 2016 election.

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner is overseeing both cases against...

Washington (CNN)On Wednesday, the Republican governor of Missouri asked for a temporary restraining order against the Republican attorney general of Missouri, who is also the leading candidate to represent the GOP against Sen. Claire McCaskill (D) in the fall. The governor, Eric Greitens, made the move to keep the AG, Josh Hawley, from pursuing an investigation into the possibility that he broke the law when he used a fundraising list from a non-profit to collect funds for his political campaigns.

As bad as the situation is with Greitens, the trend is actually in his favor, isn't it, with so many serious and growing problems in his prosecution? Even establishment KMOX and silly Charlie Brennan are calling out how bad the prosecution is. So, what the hell is going on with Hawley? I think he is an idiot. How much stupider can MO Republicans get?

U.S. Rep. Ann Wagner has joined the chorus of Missouri leaders calling on Gov. Eric Greitens to step down in the wake of a legislative report that details allegations of sexual and physical abuse.
