Whether or not that's true, it's an elegantly crafted rumor. Salacious but plausible with seemingly corroborating details.

Greitens is an ex-Navy Seal, awarded both a Bronze Star and Purple Heart. I sincerely hope that the rumors are false. I wouldn't mind him resigning though, since he's a Republican and #partisanship.

the things i posted are true. i do not know whether the things they posted are true. and 'working it up', as far as I know just means checking into it/verifying but i'm no journalism expert.

he's been trying to block grant and add work requirements to the Medicaid they already have instead of expand it,signed a bill into law that forced St Louis to rescind its minimum wage hike, and is a general nut. i wish THAT would be considered scandalous enough to force the guy to resign, not sex parties, but if it makes him resign, whatever. i won't be crying any tears.

Well following Trump personal lawyers lead he will sue for liable. Guess he will be suing facebook.

He is a mini-Trump. F'd up his state education by putting his stink on it.

Man, that republican spin machine is incredible. Mere innuendo of Oprah running and I bet I've seen at least 100 anti-oprah memes (?) already.

That wall thing is old news. He said a while ago it didn’t have to be a physical wall and tech companies have been bidding for a while. Why does the news cycle act like it’s new news like this so frequently

Maybe the dems should agree to to fund the wall for a dollar.

His policy sucks, and I guess I shouldn't have given him the benefit of the doubt because of his service, but I did. I'm surprised JH seems amused by this, did he suck that much?

I don't know a ton about him, but he seems like a pretty standard issue Republican with a compelling bio, so someone I'm inclined to like. I'm not taking any joy in him getting torpedoed, and I hope he can survive this and be a successful two term governor and keep his family together and whatnot. But think the gif is merited due to Mr. JUburton's post this afternoon.

Also the LG is a Republican so if Greitens goes, I don't really think that changes a whole hell of a lot.

Seems like he had naked photos of his mistress that he was using to black mail her.

Hope he can keep his job too! Seems like a lovely guy.

If he was blackmailing someone, he should go to jail. I really don't see how his service has anything to do with this.

Fireman risk their lives for the good of their community. Should Bucky be able to have sex parties and blackmail his mistress? No, wait, yes. Oh hell, this IS complicated.

He did tape her hands together and blindfold her. Maybe that's where the sex party idea came from?
