Eric Greitens: From Political Persecution to Anti-Establishment Icon

After facing false felony charges and a politically motivated prosecution, former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens has been fully exonerated, with the courts confirming his innocence. Investigations revealed that key figures, including former St. Louis prosecutor Kimberly Gardner, pursued the case against Greitens without evidence, leading to criminal charges against the investigator involved.
Despite his vindication, Greitens faced another round of unfounded allegations during his 2022 Senate campaign, backed by millions in attack ads. However, a judge later ruled that the accusations were baseless and that the case had harmed his children.
Now, Greitens is being hailed as an anti-establishment hero, with legal scholars pointing to his case as an example of political lawfare. A Navy SEAL, Rhodes Scholar, and decorated veteran, Greitens’ resilience has solidified his reputation as a fighter against corruption.
