Former Gov. Greitens has called at least one donor to test the waters re: a 2020 gubernatorial primary.
9:21 PM – 15 Sep 2018
Back in the old days he would only need one donor.
It’s too soon to tell what the primary crossover vote would be like.

Former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens could be back in the political spotlight a lot quicker than most thought.

June 9, 2018
Missouri State Auditor Nicole Galloway today released the following statement on the legal bills of Eric Greitens. Recent reports indicate the state has been billed more than $150,000 for representation for the former governor during the special session to consider disciplinary action:“Though there is a new administration, it does not change my responsibility to protect taxpayers. I have ongoing concerns about using taxpayer dollars to pay the ex-governor’s private attorneys, and I’m going to continue to work to get answers.”
Auditor Galloway first questioned using taxpayer dollars for the payment of private attorneys representing the former governor in May…

$150,000.00, eh? He got away cheaply and the state is holding the bag.

A press release from special prosecutor and Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker:
Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announces decision in Greitens case
For Immediate Release
June 8, 2018Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced today that after a diligent review of evidence, she is declining to file further charges in the Eric Greitens case referred to her office last month.
Baker’s office received a file from the Circuit Attorney of St. Louis on May 22, 2018. Since then, she and a team of assistant prosecutors have exhausted potential leads in examining submitted evidence and enlisting the Missouri Highway Patrol to investigate issues in this case.
As of today, with a statute of limitations set to expire this weekend, Baker stated that her office did not have sufficient evidence to consider filing new charges in the Greitens case. Still missing was corroborating evidence for an invasion of privacy case, Baker noted.

The St. Louis Circuit Attorney has released the entire agreement with former Governor Eric Greitens (r).
Eric Greitens (r) [2016 file photo].
Greitens secret deal acknowledged prosecutor had enough evidence to take case to jury
The agreement to dismiss a felony computer-tampering charge against Eric Greitens included a secret provision in which the outgoing governor of Missouri admitted that prosecutors had enough evidence for the case to go to a jury….
[….]
“…1. Counsel for defendant, on behalf of defendant, stipulate that the State has sufficient evidence to constitute a submissable case in 22nd Cir. No. 1822-CR01377…”
“…7. Defendant’s stipulation in paragraph 1 hereof regarding the complaint in No. 1822-CR01377 shall be sealed and shall not be made public by any party unless defendant commits a new offense or engages in public comment contrary to the stipulation…”
Well, isn’t that special?
Rachel Lippmann @rlippmann
A spokeswoman for Gardner says the first paragraph means they had enough evidence to take the case to trial.
[….]
6:24 PM – 6 Jun 2018
That’s special, too.
“…unless defendant […] engages in public comment contrary to the stipulation…”
That must include “I didn’t do anything wrong,” right? Just asking.
