The review also examined a complaint from former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, who resigned in scandal but has expressed interest in joining Trump’s administration. Greitens signed a declaration last week recounting a Nov. 7 conversation with Epshteyn that alleged that his “overall tone and behavior gave me the impression of an implicit expectation to engage in business dealings with him before he would advocate for or suggest my appointment to the President. This created a sense of unease and pressure on my part.”

Really.

At the Missouri Ethics Commission for Eric Greitens’ (r) 2016 gubernatorial campaign:
C151053 07/18/2016 GREITENS FOR MISSOURI SEALs for Truth P.O. Box 29525 Washington DC 20017 7/18/2016 $1,975,000.00
[emphasis added]
Via the Federal Election Commission [FEC]:
We never could figure out where the money for that $1,975,000.00 single contribution originated.
Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…
A perfect fit for the second Trump (r) administration.
