A statement from Representative Stacey Newman (D):

As Missouri’s first Jewish governor, Eric Greitens blatantly failed to embody Jewish values.

Sexual assault, stealing from a veterans non-profit, hiding dark money and evading ethics laws are criminal. As governor he fervently attacked women and public education and turned a blind eye to Missouri’s astronomical gun violence.

I consistently called for his resignation and continue to insist he be held accountable for his criminal behavior.

It’s not over.

Jean Peters Baker has also been appointed as a special prosecutor in one of the criminal cases involving Eric Greitens.

Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker – May 20, 2017.

A press release this evening:

JCPAO Press Releases
Posted on: May 29, 2018
Media Advisory: Statement issued by Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker on Greitens case
For Immediate Release
May 29, 2018

From Jean Peters Baker, Jackson County Prosecutor:

In an earlier statement, I said that my office will not comment about the case involving Governor Greitens or its review until our Office’s work had been completed. Given today’s events, however, we believe that a brief statement is needed.

In short, our investigation continues. In the interest of pursing justice to its fullest lengths, we will continue until our work on the case is completed.

Specifically regarding any deals we made with Governor Greitens’ attorneys, no deals were made by my office. Our review of this case, as I have stated before, will be pursued without fear or favor.

My office will not make any further comments on this case.

It’s not over.

Senator Jill Schupp (D), via Twitter:

We might never know the full extent of Eric Greitens’ unethical actions. What we do know is that there is only one person to blame for them- and it’s not the political operatives, nor those prosecuting and investigating his actions, nor those who simply don’t agree with him.

Eric Greitens thought he could hide from public scrutiny and avoid the truth. Thankfully, that’s not how the truth plays out.

We will begin to restore trust in government because the people of Missouri deserve leaders they can believe in and count on.

“Too often we hear leaders say they’re sorry but are unwilling to accept the consequences,” Diehl said in his resignation statement. “I understand that, as a leader, I am responsible for my actions and I am willing to face the consequences…”

“I have acknowledged making a serious error in judgment by sending the text messages. It was wrong and I am truly sorry. Too often we hear leaders say they’re sorry but are unwilling to accept the consequences. I understand that, as a leader, I am responsible for my actions and I am willing to face the consequences.”

Scott Eckersley and Matt “baby” Blunt: Nixon appointed investigator resigns

The case of the missing e-mails continues.

There was this little item in today’s Kansas City Star:

Across Missouri: Judge in Sunshine Law case resigns

Daniel Max Knust resigned Wednesday, two weeks after the former Webster County judge was appointed to help determine whether Gov. Matt Blunt’s administration violated the state Sunshine law.

In a letter to Attorney General Jay Nixon, Knust attributed his resignation to criticism leveled by Gov Matt Blunt’s office that questioned whether Knust, a Republican, was part of a Democratic witch hunt…

tiny URL

Jo Mannies in today’s St Louis Post-Dispatch:

New lead lawyer in email probe says he won’t rush to judgment

…Knust wrote in his resignation letter to Attorney General Jay Nixon, “I did not anticipate that my independence would be doubted by the Governor’s staff. My parents were devout Republicans, and I have held office for 28 years as a Republican…”

[The title of the article refers to the appointment of Chet Pleban to replace Knust]

tiny URL

The Missouri republican party website [Eeeew!] also aimed its wrath at Knust. [I’m not providing a link, just be thankful that I went there to read it so you don’t have to. Eeeew! Can’t get the bad taste out of my mouth. Uck.]  

The moral of the story: If you do anything that  makes Governor Matt “baby” Blunt look less than saintly he will release the hounds.

Gonzales, resignation

There will be all kinds of speculation about what comes next and what lasting damage Gonzo’s done to the DoJ.  But for now, let’s just enjoy it.
