Eric Greitens this month when they released a startling report on the GOP chief executives conduct. The details prompted some on both sides of the aisle to call on Greitens to resign, a demand the governor resisted.
Then came the following week, which featured a full collapse of Greitens political support and darkening cloud of legal developments.
Questions about The Mission Continues fundraising list. An unprecedented call from the General Assemblys legislative leaders to resign.

(38,958 posts)4. He hasnt exactly made a lot of friends in the Legislature.
