It’s obvious to see now after witnessing the specious and politically manufactured attacks on Donald Trump and Brett Kavanaugh, but at the same time that was going on–2018–then-Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens—a retired Navy SEAL badass whose first political office was governor—had admitted to an affair. It was easy to think that maybe he was out ‘over his skis’ and had gotten caught up in some tawdry affair.

But Greitens had already confessed his affair with his hairdresser to his wife and family. He’d already come clean, but the new chief prosecutor, one of leftist billionaire George Soros’s hand-picked candidates in his District Attorney Project, alleged that Greitens had committed a felony with his affair. How? Kim Gardner alleged in her tissue-thin, one-paragraph indictment, void of any evidence, that Greiten committed a felony invasion of privacy for taking a boudoir photo of his mistress and threatening to release it if she talked about her affair.

Cue the #MeToo outrage.

Greitens, who was in office two years, was hounded out. The voters who thought they were getting a door-kicker who got things done, were instead getting an alleged felon. They were outraged and he resigned.

But fast-forward now, as John Solomon reports at his new website Just the News (see him talk about his experience below), there was never any evidence of that compromising photo. Never any evidence of threats made by the governor. Moreover, the private investigator hired to do the investigation–completely contrary to how the office worked–was indicted for lying and tampering with evidence. Gardner allegedly was in on what looks to be a phony investigation done for political effect, though she hasn’t been indicted by the special prosecutor now looking into the case.

This is an incredible story. The St Louis prosecutor in this case is very likely going to end up indicted for suborning perjury and conspiracy to drive the Missouri gov out of office. Just read the indictment of the former FBI agent https://t.co/GCWj7pJVBu

Solomon reported that this month Greitens was cleared of campaign finance charges, charges that were ladled on at “the height of the scandal” after an ethics investigation into the prosecutors:

Earlier this month, the Missouri Ethics Commission cleared Greitens of charges lodged against him during the height of the scandal that he had violated campaign finance laws. The commission “found no evidence of any wrongdoing on the part of Eric Greitens” but fined his campaign for two reporting violations.

It also turns out that the hairdresser, Katrina Sneed, never independently came forward to lodge a complaint against Greitens. Indeed, she was asked by prosecutors to come forward to claim the allegation.

And it appears that investigators put words into Sneed’s mouth. While they were alleging the evidence of a nasty photo, it turns out that Sneed wasn’t sure there was ever a photo taken. She told them she could have dreamed it. Later she testified under oath that there was never a photo.
