Harrell, Jean Toal and Hugh Leatherman all deserve each other. All those Toal and Harrell whores who voted for Toal? They are too stupid and corrupt to be in the Legislature and should be thrown out also. Just sayin’. Have a nice day.

SIX DAYS AGO Contempt of Court

Contempt of Court: “The attorney general has not yet filed an appeal. He may wait as long as he can so he can continue to defy Manning’s order to halt his investigation and not run the risk that the Supreme Court also would order him to stop.” …”Once Wilson files an appeal, he is under the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction.”

NOW: uh uh uh Scooter

Columbia, SC (WLTX) – South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson has appealed a ruling involving House Speaker Bobby Harrell to the State Supreme Court. Wilson is appealing a ruling by Circuit Judge Casey Manning, who has ruled a State Grand Jury considering the allegations was improperly empaneled.

Which is it?

1. “Wilson may wait as long as he can so he can continue to defy Manning’s order to halt his investigation” OR………OR……

2. “Wilson has appealed a ruling involving House Speaker Bobby Harrell to the State Supreme Court.”

Those two statements by AG Wilson are six days apart, I’d say what Harrell is dealing with is a two-headed monster.

uh uh uh …..I’m not going to appeal…….uh uh uh….no wait…..uh uh uh ….I’m going to appeal……uh uh uh…. no wait……

That’s what the taxpayers of South Carolina are paying for, dumb legal advice.

Will, you’re wrong on this one. I wish you were right, but you are not. How has Harrell handled it poorly? He’s still Speaker and will continue to be. Look at the facts. (1) Yes, he lied about Dudley and strong-armed the P&C. Result, P&C retracts story and Dudley is gone. (2) Yes, he rigs the Supreme Court race to get his corrupt Chief Justice back in there. Result, he succeeds. {A race you incorrectly said did not matter.} (3) Yes, he launched a “blood war” against his enemies. Result, all of his enemies are on the run and no one will dare vote against him for re-election as Speaker. (4) Yes, he converted $300k of his campaign money for personal use. Result, the investigation is dismissed and his plane is paid for with campaign funds. “Poor advice” to himself…Really?

FREE public relations advice for Wil Folks……!!!

“Dude, you’re doing it wrong.” All wrong…..

At each and every step of Harrell’s “crisis” Folks has misstepped – often badly. In the process Wil’s projected a guilty form of journalism on par with the Post and Courier as opposed to “active” innocence, pettiness as opposed to mature leadership and vindictiveness as opposed to informational statesmanship.

None of which is helping his website position, ad revenues or South Carolina school system educational value…

Does Wil want to be relevant in this state somewhere..? Why have this website at all…?
When was the last time any article on FItnews was used in a pulpit on Sunday Morning..? When was the last time this website was used in the SOuth Carolina School of Journalism…?

Heck, has there been any billboard with a face of Lindsey Graham having “Fitsnews” across his forehead anywhere on our interstate system…? Not that I’ve seen. Talk about a marketing bonanza…!!?

Geez….at least Wil should have the GUTS to pull a FOI and find out how many veterans have called anyone at the statehouse about VA Care since Lindsey Graham has been so quiet..!! The NSA is tracking all phone calls…right..? Geez….just get a printout of all the phone records for the entire state capital and see just how many calls were from VETERANS and ask Bobby and Lindsey and Tim Scott some questions …..,!!!

Its more than the Post and Courier is doing…!!!

Harrell's Cronies Are Fucked May 20, 2014 at 5:55 pm

Bottom line, Harrell is a spoiled rotten little dick head. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His daddy was no better. Think, “like father, like son.” His father only got away with it because there was no internet or no “fitsnews” or no real watch dog groups like today. Bobby is old school. His mindset – old school. His behavior = that of an child who throws a hissy fit when he doesn’t get his way. He is as thin skinned as they come. And it is easy to push his buttons. He is guilty. Nobody – and I repeat, “Nobody” that is innocent would resort to such bullshit crappy adolescent tactics as he has. He should have controlled his angry and his temper. Now it is too late for him. He has shown his true colors. And the people have formed the opinion that he is a felon and that Manning has violated the law himself under the crux to possibly save Harrell from jail time. Well, it didn’t work. It failed. You will see — you will see ~~~~~~~

State Farm Insurance customer May 20, 2014 at 9:57 pm

Harrell’s vast stable of State Farm Insurance clients — his “book of business” — was also given to him by his father; Bobby Harrell didn’t “earn” even one of those clients. Many of those clients fall into one of two categories: (a) those who fear Harrell and thus keep their insurance with his agency; and (b) those who believe Harrell can and will “pull strings” to get above-average claim settlements.

In the last election a filling-station owner in District 114 told me that he let Harrell to install a 5′ x 8′ Harrell sign there because he was “afraid to do otherwise.”

Me, I’ve got my insurance with a “clean” State Farm agent.

I kind of agree with a lot of this. But it is scary when Wil Folks is the responsible adult in any situation
But I patently disagree. Somehow, Dudley was run off. She was a great reporter, missed in the state. But you have never offered any proof of what you say was the stick Harrell used. The threat about withholding the tax exemption.
here’s why I don’t believe that. if a politician who needs a majority of votes in his chamber to get anything done comes into my office and lays down that threat, it is my headline in the newspaper the VERY NEXT DAY. Any decent newspaper.
Or to call off such a threat. Just say wait a second, call in the editor and a reporter with a notepad and tape recorder in hand and say, “Will you repeat what you just said, on the record?”
He can’t back it up without assistance from a majority.
I just don’t believe that was the threat. stop repeating it as if you had facts on your side until YOU PROVE IT.
Your story is so simple to cast doubt upon, it casts doubt on everything else you have to say about Harrell.

Pierre Manigault gets the understanding (read, “threat”) via Rep. Chip Limehouse, Manigault’s long-time hunting buddy.

The most powerful corrupt politicians like Harrell cover their tracks and leave the threat-making to lesser-profile corrupt politicians like Limehouse.

Believe it.

The tax savings to the Post and Courier is about $10 million annually.

Bottom line is, Harrell has a serious sickness between his ears. He needs to be in a locked unit of a psychiatric hospital, like his ass licker friend, “anonymous.” The entire state is now award of Harrell the sociopath. His circle is going to crumble soon. And nothing can stop it nor save him. He is over already as he goes down kicking and screaming, acting like a little two year old kid. And as for Jean Toal? She can drink herself to death, for all I care. The woman is a serious alcoholic and a criminal herself. She dishonors the people of South Carolina. No one with her mentality and mindset should be in such a position. The People will see to it that she, too, falls with her friend, Harrell. All of them must be thrown in prison. And when the people are finished with them, they will. They are the enemy of the people of South Carolina. They are the crooks, the liars, and the thieves …. They must be punished – all of them.

I think Harrell is crooked and inept, but I also think this article was written for three reasons. 1st, for FITS to chime in about how great consultants are; 2nd to make a not so subtle play and offer to Harrell that maybe, oh jeeper walkers maybe, FITS is the consultant Bobby needs, and 3rd to work in deleterious into a story.

SPEAKER HARRELL SLAMS AG WILSON

“Harrell fired back Tuesday, saying that Wilson should appoint a special prosecutor to look into what he calls the attorney general’s own potential Ethics Act violations. The Post and Courier reported in April that Wilson had accepted thousands in over-the-limit campaign contributions and that amendments to his campaign finance reports showed dozens of previously undisclosed donors. Wilson’s campaign has been amending reports and returning contributions that were over the limit, including a lobbyist’s contribution.”

WHAT HARRELL SAID ABOUT WILSON: …”If he actually believes what he wrote in this filing, then he himself is guilty of over 30 criminal violations, including accepting money from lobbyists, accepting money above the legal limit and failing to report a number of items,” Harrell said. “He ought to have a special prosecutor take a look at this.”

BAM! …BA-BAM!….BA-BA-BA-BAM!….

Here’s what AG Wilson should do as a result of his own campaign finance abuses …

1) Wilson should appoint a special prosecutor to investigate his own campaign finance abuses and various political dealings and acknowledge the legitimacy of an inquiry and pledge his cooperation with the special prosecutor and investigation.

2) Wilson should apologize to the individuals smeared by his political machine – and vow to cease all future attacks against Harrell.

3) Wilson should replace existing legal advisors to advise him moving forward.
Until such time that AG Wilson achieves the three items listed above, Wilson will have no credibility in is political quest against Speaker Harrell.
