| Missouri governor resigns in disgrace. |
Greitens became a focus right after his state of the union address in Jefferson City.
A former hairdresser accused the embattled lawmaker of having multiple affairs. He is a married man. His victim claimed she was tied up and threatened with exposure if she kept quiet.
He face a felony for unauthorized obscenity and harassment. He also faced campaign finance violations. He was using a fake charity donor list. In recent months, Greitens was indicted on felony invasion of privacy charges, computer tampering and misuse of funds. The invasion of privacy charge was dropped.
Greitens admits no wrongdoing but it was the party that told to him bounce.
"This ordeal has been designed to cause an incredible amount of strain on my family," Greitens said.
"Millions of dollars of mounting legal bills, endless personal attacks designed to cause maximum damage to family and friends. Legal harassment of colleagues, freinds and campaign workers and it's clear that the forces that oppose us, there is no end in sight. I cannot allow those forces to continue to cause pain and difficulty to the people that I love."
Mike Parson will become the governor in a few days. Greitens will leave Jefferson City on Friday.
Republicans are sighing relief. They now feel that Greitens will be in the back of the minds of voters.
Now Republicans will try to tie Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) as their last ditch effort to winning an important swing seat.
Missouri Democrats are working hard to defeat the Republicans. They now can use Greitens and Donald J. Trump as their shield in the neverending fight for control.
