Sic Willie tilting at windmills again (still).
Isn’t the “still” redundant since you already said “again?”
Also, too.
yes but done for emphasis as it one of your “causes” that you cling to even though its fruition is extremely doubtful. Sort of like Mace (did she disappear?) beating Graham.
The Dept. of Redundancy Department’s work is never done.
This month we are battling RAS Syndrome. Since we are not “government-funded”,TBG urges everyone reading this to go by their ATM machine, punch in their PIN number and donate generously.
Crosby, Nash, Stills, Young & Dumbass, living up to its name. Again. Still. Whatever.
Sorry I gave you a choice. I forgot you couldn’t handle two things at one time.
I heard this rumor on Friday. Harrell was trying to get Toal, of all people, to delay this Grand Jury thing until after her race with Pleicones was decided. She, of course, has promised Harrell “she will do all she can” to make the charges go away if he will secure her about 20-25 more votes in the House. She is way behind in the House and losing ground daily. Even the politicians are tired of Toal’s attempts at manipulation of such things and pressure was put in Wilson to get the Harrell case moving.
Don’t believe it? Wait and see.
I heard last Thursday from a Family Court Judge that Toal is pressuring state judges she claims she helped get elected to work their best legislative connections to help her get votes in the House. The judges who have gotten these messages are livid. Some judges don’t even want to go to the SC BAR Convention for fear of being cornered by Toal. She is a bully if nothing else.
What’s amusing is that Toal,a well known Democrat, is even “in” this race at all,considering the Republican domination of the SC Legislature.
It’s a necessary evil for Toal. Same as McConnell is a Republican and a good many others. The R is only a sham name for many of them. They are really all of the same old time Demo blood. Toal is panicking over the fact that somebody else is going to get into her secret files. The U.S. Attorney’s office has turned on Toal. It’s no secret now. Nettles can no longer help and/or cover for her.
Whats really kewl is Toal is going to be busted for drunk driving.
Wanna bet that the Policy Council won’t like the result of this.
All the AG has to do is present a weak case to the grand jury so they won’t indict. Then both he and Harrell are off the hook. Harrell can say the grand jury didn’t find anything, and Wilson can say he did all he could.
So you think the AG would be willing to appear incompetent? Not going to happen. As the saying goes, a good prosecutor could indict a ham sandwich. Bobby’s going down.
That’s exactly how it’s going down. My son will never indict a fellow republican and especially not one as noble and powerful as Bobby. We don’t eat our own unless it’s absolutely necessary. Free Bobby!
Wilson had a choice; either send Leatherman’s man Reynolds Williams of investment commission fame (he made a couple hundred thousand off the commission investments) to grand jury or send Harrell. He chose Leatherman because Haley spoke to him at least three times on the subject (Haley hates Harrell). Wilson’s mom Roxane is from Florence and has deep ties there and because Eddie Floyd said if Reynolds went free he would raise zillions for Wilson in 2014. And never forget Harrell could be a candidate for Guv in 2016 at the same time Wilson will be running.
The timing, at the beginning of the session, shows it is personal. Haley and Wilson want Harrell out and this is how to do it.
PS. Never forget the SC Policy Council has special funding to get rid of Harrell. It came from Koch brothers. Haley and Wilson luvs den Koch brothers and that money! Harrell is chap price to pay to get Koch zillions.
They are entwined in collusion. Its all an act.
Haley always get her man.
Damn skippy she does. She is vindictive as hell and she set her evil eye on him last year.
This means Alan Wilson is running for governor in 2018
Haley will step in and pardon Harrell.
The H’s look after each other (remember, the ‘W’ is silent).
A little Napoleon!
You can wilson did this beacuse there is a great deal of evidece and Wilson wanted this monkey off his back and on someone else!
Nothing will happen, they’re just grandstanding to show that they tried.
What do you all think about the $12million dollar “bribe” to the newspapers in SC? Seems like the lack of in depth reporting of corruption and ethics by the local papers is in order to keep the legislators from jerking this awful subsidy…
“Of course Harrell’s abuses pale in comparison to those of Haley – who was caught red-handed illegally lobbying government officials on behalf of her employer (among other offenses).”
So FITS thinks Harrell should be jailed but you are going to endorse Haley for re-election. I think you need to explain this logic.
“I don’t know of any Attorney General who sends a case to the grand jury who isn’t 100 percent certain of the outcome,” one source familiar with the process told FITS.
Then, they have not paid attention to Alan Wilson. This way he looks like he’s doing something. And, we won’t be there to know how well his people are presenting his evidence.
The Feds are secretly talking about 100s of indictments. And they aint all against Booby, either.
Here’s hoping he drags India Null Hazzard Pickelsimer (or whatever her name is now) down with him.
Gonna be so easy to prove that his documentation of expenses are mostly fraudulent now that the grand jury will subpoena all of his records and have investigators check it all out with a fine tooth comb. If he gets off, we know that the corruption is really much worst than we presently think.
