McGreevey stepped down because he was near to being indicted for bribery and influence-peddling.
He cleverly made the correct decision that resgning and giving his personal life as a reason would generate sympathy and lead to a possible return to politics in the future.
Being forced out of office for taking bribes would have ended his career permanently.
