Eric Greitens (r) [2016 file photo].

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Late this morning:

STL Public Radio @stlpublicradio
BREAKING: AG Hawley says he has uncovered a potential felony violation by Gov. Greitens and turned evidence over to @stlcao. The violation is related to his nonprofit, The Mission Continues.
10:53 AM – 17 Apr 2018

Whereupon Missouri government and politics Twitter blew up.

Senator Claire McCaskill (D) [2017 file photo].

A press release from Senator Claire McCaskill’s (D) U.S. Senate campaign:

April 17, 2018 Press Releases
McCaskill for Missouri Statement on Hawley Press Conference Regarding Statute of Limitations for Greitens’ Use of The Mission Continues Donor List

MISSOURI — McCaskill for Missouri Communications Director Meira Bernstein released the following statement on Attorney General Josh Hawley’s press conference today, during which he claimed that the statute of limitations is approaching on Governor Greitens’ use of The Mission Continues donor list:

“We’re glad that Hawley has come out of hiding to acknowledge the existing evidence of criminal behavior of the Governor. However, the sad truth is that this shows gross incompetence on the part of the Attorney General. The evidence in this case has been publicly available since October 2016 — what excuse could Josh Hawley possibly have for failing to pursue an investigation and allowing this evidence to languish for over a year? The only reason the statute of limitations is now a problem in this case is because Hawley was trying to protect his friend and large donor for as long as possible.”

Background:

October 10, 2016: Press reports that Greitens used a donor list from his charity, The Mission Continues, to solicit donations for his campaign.

April 28, 2017: Greitens is fined by the Missouri Ethics Commission and admits wrongdoing for his use of the charity donor list.

February 27, 2018: Press reports that St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner may be looking into the Governor’s use of the charity donor list.

March 1, 2018: Press reports confirm that St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner is looking into the Governor’s use of the charity donor list.

March 1, 2018: Hawley announces he is investigating Greitens’ use of the charity donor list after press reports confirm the prosecuting attorney’s investigation, despite declining to investigate for nearly a year.

campaign finance, Eric Greitens., governor, missouri, Missouri Ethics Commission

We expected it wouldn’t be a particularly great campaign fundraising quarter, especially after January 11th.

Eric Greitens (r) [2016 file photo].

The April 2018 Quarterly Campaign Finance Reports are due today at the Missouri Ethics Commission.

Eric Greitens., governor, investigation, missouri, Missouri House Special Investigative Committee on Oversight

Eric Greitens (r) [2016 file photo].

Just go away.

Look, you can afford to walk away. One of those billionaires you know could be good for any right wingnut welfare you’d get for being on the letterhead and not showing up at your office at a cleverly named D.C. beltway propaganda concern.

Instead, be with your family. Tinker in your garden. Work out (it’ll make you feel better). Write a book about your experience. It’ll sell. Your base will plunk down good cash for something like that. Make motivational speeches. There’ll be a market for your individual, though not quite uncommon, perspective. Even if you end up serving time.

What you shouldn’t do is feel entitled to remain as Governor of Missouri. We read the report [pdf]. Oh yes, it’s credible. Five Republicans and two Democrats on the Missouri House Special Investigative Committee on Oversight heard the testimony, reviewed the documents and evidence, wrote the report, and signed it.

We read the report. No person should treat another that way. Ever.

Just go away. But, you won’t, will you? Because you’re that much of an arrogant narcissist. Which is what got you into this trouble in the first place.

As an obvious understatement we would call that a disqualifying character flaw.

You probably still believe that you’ll be president. The sad thing for everyone else is that you’re probably right. The bar is so low these days.

affair, Eric Greitens., General Assembly, governor, investigation, Missouri House Special Investigative Committee on Oversight, report

Ladies and gentlemen, Eric Greitens (r), the Governor of Missouri:

Eric Greitens (r) [2016 file photo].

There were five Republicans and two Democrats on the committee.

REPORT OF THE MISSOURI HOUSE
SPECIAL INVESTGATIVE COMMIITTEE ON OVERSIGHT
[pdf]

[….]

SENSITVE CONTENT WARNING

This report contains content of a sensitive and sexual nature…

[….]

FINDINGS OF THE COMMITTEE
A. Conduct in Relation to Witness 1
Based on the testimony and evidence received by the Committee to date, the Committee finds reason to believe the following:

1. The Committee finds Witness 1 to be an overall credible witness.

2. Witness 2, a confidant of Witness 1, testified she has known Witness 1 for ten
years.2

3. Witness 3 authenticated a surreptitious recording of a conversation with Witness 1 that took place on March 25, 2015, approximately four days after Witness 1’s sexual encounter with Greitens.

4. Witness 4, a confidant of Witness 1, testified that she has known Witness 1 for thirty years, dating back to elementary school.3

5. Greitens declined the opportunity to testify and failed to respond to the Committee’s request for production of documents and sworn answers to written interrogatories.4 The Committee notes that Greitens has the constitutional right to so decline, and that the Committee has treated this process as if he also has the right to testify at this point in time.

[….]

35. Witness 1 testified that Greitens then said, “You’re not going to mention my name. Don’t even mention my name to anybody at all, because if you do, I’m going to take these pictures, and I’m going to put them everywhere I can. They are going to be everywhere, and then everyone will know what a little whore you are.”39

36. Witness 1 explained her reaction:

I just stood there, because I was like What the fuck? He doesn’t have feelings for me, he just wants to fuck me. So anyways, I was completely silent. I didn’t say anything, especially – so I didn’t even – my husband traveled for a living, and I didn’t even let him get pictures of me. So I just stood there quietly, and then he came up close to me and he said, Are you going to say anything? Are you going to mention my name? Of course, in my head, I was screaming, Fuck, all I want to do is tell people right now. I’m dying. This is the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to me. So I just didn’t answer at all, and then he spanked me and said, Are you going to mention my name? And I said – I just gritted through my teeth and I said, No. And he’s like Good – now that’s a good girl and was, like, back in his – whatever – you know, the thing that he had in his mind, the thing that he was going to do with me.40
