Ex FBI Agent in Greitens Affair Let Off without Punishment

Warner Todd Huston

Ex-FBI Agent Admits to Wildly Crooked Action Against Republican Governor, But Has Punishment Immediately Suspended

Only a day before jury selection was to begin in a case to prosecute him for lying in his investigation into a sexual misconduct charge against then-Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, former FBI agent William Tisaby pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of evidence tampering on Wednesday, The Associated Press reported.

Unlike what would happen for anyone else, the court quickly sentenced Tisaby to probation — and then immediately turned around and suspended the sentence and released him.

Tim adds:

Warner, you said Greitens was largely exonerated when the charges were dropped, but it actually went back to the trial when the defense demanded Gardner produce the photos and she had to admit she did not have them. It was the end of the prosecution.

But she vowed to keep bringing charges until she got something, and other Democrat prosecutors around the state agreed to do likewise, so Greitens had to resign.

It was a disgraceful affair, because the GOP refused to lift a finger to defend him. They hated him because he was an outsider and because he was taking the bread from their mouths; he was trying to put a five year wait period on legislators before they could become lobbyists, for example. He was trying to clean up state government.

And they hated him for the same reason the GOP hated Trump. He just walked in and took over the party.

Unfortunately, he presented a rather arrogant face and none of the Republicans could stand him. I didn't vote for him in the primaries and still think he was a bad choice (he had been a Democrat, which is why they were so eager to get him.)

But you NEVER let the enemy take out one of your own. The GOP is full of fools and self-seeking scoundrels. And Missouri Republicans are particularly dim witted.

A lot of conservative Missouri Republicans despise Greitens, say he is corrupt. He may well be. But that is immaterial; you take him out yourself. You never, ever let the Democrats and the media do it. That's the way you wind up losing.

Greitens is running for U.S. Senator and is actually a frontrunner, polling second in the current matchup. I pray he doesn't get the nomination, because the media will tar him and he may well lose in the general. The average voter will not understand the subtleties, just believe Greitens is guilty of something for which he has never been convicted.

Oh, and Kim Gardner, the St. Louis BLM Prosecutor, won her re-election bid handily and is still turning St. Louis into a crime-riddled hellhole reminiscent of Mogadishu. It was Gardner who prosecuted that couple who brandished firearms at the trespassing BLM mob, for instance.
