Missouri legislators to weigh impeachment of scandal-plagued governor

 

(Reuters) - Missouri legislators were set to convene on Friday to weigh the possible impeachment of Governor Eric Greitens, who has been embroiled in separate sex and fundraising scandals that have led to mounting pressure for his resignation.

 

The Republican-controlled Missouri General Assembly was scheduled to begin a special session in Jefferson City, Missouri, the state capital, to consider what disciplinary steps to take against the first-term Republican governor, including impeachment, after hearing the recommendations of a special House of Representatives investigative panel.

 

Greitens has vowed to remain in office while he fights to clear his name. No Missouri governor has ever been impeached.

 

Greitens, a 44-year-old former Navy SEAL commando once seen as a rising star in the Republican Party, was previously charged with felony invasion of privacy in connection with an admitted extramarital affair in 2015 with a hairdresser before he was elected. He has said he is innocent, the relationship was consensual and he was the subject of a political witch hunt.

 

On Monday, however, St. Louis prosecutors dropped the charge before his trial got under way after a state judge agreed to allow the defense to call as a witness Circuit Attorney for the City of St. Louis Kim Gardner, a Democrat whom defense attorneys accused of misconduct. Prosecutors said they would refile the case.

 

Greitens was accused of taking a photo of his lover in a state of undress without her consent and making it accessible by computer to use as retaliation should she divulge their relationship. He has denied threatening to blackmail her and his attorneys have noted the alleged photograph has never been produced.

 

Meanwhile, the governor faces a separate trial on an unrelated charge of computer tampering. St. Louis prosecutors allege he obtained and transmitted a donor list from a military veterans charity he founded in 2007, without the charity’s consent, to aid his political fundraising.

 

Greitens’ attorney has called the charge “absurd” and said his client is innocent.

 

In Cole County, which also received information on the case, prosecutor Mark Richardson said on Friday he had decided not to file a criminal charge. Jefferson City is in Cole County.

 

State officials expect the special House investigative committee, formed in February to examine misconduct allegations against Greitens, to complete its work and present a final report to the Assembly during the special session, which begins at 6:30 p.m. local time (2330 GMT) Friday and could last 30 days. The House and Senate are expected to complete their action on the panel’s findings in that time frame.

 

Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley, among others, has said that findings presented in the House committee’s initial report on April 11, detailing allegations of sexual coercion and physical abuse by Greitens, were grounds for impeachment.

 

The Missouri Constitution counts “moral turpitude,” among other things, as impeachable conduct.

Passenger Plane With at Least 110 Aboard Crashes in Cuba

 

HAVANA—A Boeing 737 plane crashed on Friday shortly after taking off from Havana‘s main airport on a domestic flight, with a number of people feared dead or injured, Reuters witnesses and officials said.

 

There were at least three possible survivors among the 105 passengers plus nine crew, Cuban state-run media reported, adding that there were five children on board. Earlier reports on state media said there were 104 passengers.

 

The number of casualties was not immediately known, but Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel, visiting the site of the crash, told Agence France Presse: “It appears there is a high number of victims.”

 

Wreckage was strewn over the area and ambulances and firefighters were at the scene, a Reuters witness said. The fire had been put out, and blackened parts of the fuselage could be seen.

 

“We heard an explosion and then saw a big cloud of smoke go up,” said Gilberto Menendez, who runs a restaurant near the crash site in the agricultural area of Boyeros, 12 miles south of Havana.

California Senate Candidate Endorses Call to ‘Rid America of Traitorous Jews Like Dianne Feinstein’

 

An advertisement in support of a neo-Nazi U.S. Senate candidate in California reportedly encouraged voters to pick him in order to “rid America of traitorous Jews” like his incumbent opponent, Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein.

 

The automatic or “robocall” ad that dialed up Californians was paid for by a podcast called “The Road to Power,” which labels itself as “white nationalist anti-Jew,” according to Right Wing Watch.

 

The ad, first unearthed by radio station KFI AM 640 on Tuesday, endorsed known white nationalist Republican candidate Patrick Little, and defamed Feinstein as “pretending to be American.”

 

“To rid America of the traitorous Jews like Dianne Feinstein, vote for Patrick Little for U.S. Senator for California…He’s a patriot, a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, and he’s vowed to end Jewish control over America, starting with Dianne Feinstein, an Israeli citizen pretending to be an American while she takes our money for her real country, Israel, and kills our children for it, too," the ad said.

 

The voice in the ad went on: "He's going to get rid of all the nation-wrecking Jews from our country, starting with Israeli Citizen Dianne Feinstein."

 

Little appeared to back up the ad’s content in a statement to KFI AM 640.

 

"Liberate the USA from the Zionist occupation. Free Palestine, America First, no more wars for Israel. This is my response,” he said.

 

Little seemed to distance himself from the ad by stating he “didn’t even know this was being done,” according to messages on social media site Gab screenshotted by Right Wing Watch.

 

But when asked by The San Francisco Chronicle whether he approved of its message, Little responded: “Show me the lie, and I will consider renouncing it.”

 

Little was removed from the California State GOP Convention in San Diego earlier this month and the party’s state arm denounced both Little and the ad. However, prior to the convention, Little was polling in second place with 18 percent of the vote.

 

In response to an inquiry from Newsweek last month, Matt Fleming, the communications director for the California Republican Party, disavowed Little.

 

“Mr. Little has never been an active member of our party. I do not know Mr. Little and I am not familiar with his positions. But in the strongest terms possible, we condemn anti-Semitism and any other form of religious bigotry, just as we do with racism, sexism or anything else that can be construed as a hateful point of view.”

Yes some people have different size, but not that droopy looks and not that extremely noticeable. People want to justify their own made up reality. This shit is real! I recently notice this everywhere.
