Attorney for mistress’ ex-husband reacts to governor’s resignation

Al Watkins, the attorney for the ex-husband of Gov. Eric Greitens’ mistress, released a statement Tuesday night following the announcement of Greitens’ resignation.

Watkins statement said, “My client moved on with his life a long time ago. He sought only to protect his family, including his former spouse. A man of influence who aspired for the highest office in the land is no longer a threat to his family or others in like position. While the last three years have been like a bad dose of the flu, the symptoms have abated as suddenly as they appeared in March of 2015.”

Watkins also added, “We are all on this earth simply killing time between funerals. Let’s hope Mr. Greitens chooses to kill his time wisely…sitting on a lounger on his front porch waiting for the mailman.”

Greitens resignation will be effective June 1 at 5 p.m.
