She needs to be sued by a private SC Citizen.
It’s the only way to put her away: just like “Lost Trust Cases,” years ago.
Wilson, the Attorney General, should be removed from office for not prosecuting Haley.

Probably a Federal Lawsuit, or a Federal Investigation, is the only answer.

After Haley, Wilson and the SLED chief are all siting in Federal Prison, the rest of the crooks in the State House will finally get the message: NO THIEVES ALLOWED!!

SSDD, as in one of Stephen King’s novels.
So, nothing has come of the imminent indictments/fed involvement/investigations of Greenwood po po, Lexington ring, bribery at the beach or any number of scandals.
No one is looking… do what you want.

The Rainey v. Haley ruling ended the option of bringing private court action under the state ethics laws.

Yes, But that does not apply to Federal Charges.

Lost Trust was not a lawsuit. It was an undercover sting operation led by the FBI and the US Attorney’s Office.

I didn’t say it was a law suit.
I said there needs to be a Federal Investigation.
I knew the Citadel Grad who put those crooks in jail.
We need another Cid Grad to root out these criminals again.

This is what you wrote: She needs to be sued by a private SC Citizen.

Sure reads like you’re saying a lawsuit from a Private SC Citizen,like the Lost Trust Cases, is the only way to put her away.

From The Nerve story:

“Wages and salaries are not reimbursable because they are not an
additional cost to the State,” so reads the Oct. 4 agreement signed by
Haley, State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) Chief Mark Keel and Herb
Hayden, executive director of the State Ethics Commission.

Reimbursable or not, will the value of those resources be reported?

Wage and salaries may not be reimbursable, BUT these employees could be working on crimes in the state—ex: who hacked DOR? instead of riding her around to collect out of state money for her political use! Something is just not right her and no one will challenge it because Haley always gets her way REGARDLESS the cost.

Couple of questions;

1) If Ms. Haley goes to the grocery store to pick up milk and bread does the security go with her? I believe the answer is yes, she’s the governor and if they didn’t anyone wanting to bump her off would just have to wait in the parking lot at Piggly-Wiggly.
2) If Ms. Haley went to Vail, Colorado on vacation would the security go with her? I believe the answer to be yes, again, otherwise anyone wanting to do her harm would only have to go to Vail and wait for an opportunity (her schedule is public record).

Whether campaigning or not the governor must travel and must have security when traveling, to saddle this or any other governor with the bill for required (whether by law or circumstances) security when traveling would be unconscionable. For those that strongly dislike her, pick from among the abundant reasons for her to be defeated at the polls but petty criticisms like this only weaken your position and make otherwise ambivalent voters want to take her side (sort of like forbidding your daughter to date a ruffian, makes her want to date him more).

What has been done in the past? Generally speaking trips that are competely political in nature are paid by the campaign.

No one is questioning the fact that Haley needs security—the question is why should taxpayers have to pay for her travel expense while campaigning when she has $3 million dollars that she received to cover expenses. Our state does not “gain” anything by her going out of state on these trips—we go in debt because we are paying the expense of the gas, lodging and meals.

I’ve said it befor and will again, Obama and Haley were twins separated at birth.
Obama’s reelection was a horrible mistake; but, we are stuck with him for 3and a half more years.
Please don’t make the same mistake with Haley. Her first term has been about ethics violations, moral indescretions, lies, screw ups and self service. PLEASE don’t make the same mistake. Let’s send her packing!

How can state agencies make an agreement to allow violation of the law? She should be charged for this. I guess expecting the AG to do something is out of the question? Do we need the feds again like Abscam or Lost Trust? It seems only DOJ or the FBI can do anything in this political cesspool known as South Carolina.

The problem is SC’s AG has his nose stuck so far up Nikki Haley’s butt – he can’t see straight. He himself has spent SC taxpayer dollars on partisan issues.
