JEFFERSON CITY • The process of deciding whether to impeach scandal-plagued Gov. Eric Greitens will begin as early as Monday in the Missouri House of Representatives.

House Speaker Todd Richardson, R-Poplar Bluff, spent Thursday and Friday reviewing which members of the Legislature’s lower chamber would be named to a special committee to investigate the charges against the embattled chief executive.

Among those expected to sit on the panel is Rep. Jay Barnes, R-Jefferson City, who has experience as a litigator and is term-limited after this year. Others could include Rep. Robert Cornejo, R-St. Peters.

Greitens was indicted and booked Thursday on a felony invasion of privacy charge for allegedly transmitting a non-consensual photo of a partly nude lover in March 2015.

1. MO is so right now that I bet they wait until he is found guilty. The GOP is blaming liberal media.

2. Interesting

As surprised as I am that they are even making this initial step, the “Esteemed” Governor’s scorched earth style of management has left him few friends in the GOP majority Legislature.
