MORE “TRANSPARENCY INACTION …”
By FITSNEWS || Last March this website exclusively reported on the separation of Tim Pearson and his then-wife, Kristin Pearson.
For those of you who don’t know, Pearson is S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley‘s closest advisor – the manager of her 2010 and 2014 gubernatorial campaigns as well as her former chief-of-staff.
For the last five years, he and Haley have been virtually inseparable – with Pearson managing everything from the governor’s cell phone to her most sensitive scandals. In fact during the 2010 race Pearson played a starring role in covering up at least one of Haley’s affairs – although to his credit he did express regret over the scorched earth strategy that Haley (successfully) employed against her accuser.
That’s all ancient history, though …
Of interest at the moment is is the current status of Pearson v. Pearson (a.k.a. Richland County docket #12DR0448).
And what is the current status?
Well, we’d love to tell you … but the file has been sealed.
Yup …
Earlier this week, FITS was provided with an anonymous tip regarding specific information alleged to be in the transcripts of this case file – and so we dispatched one of our moles to take a look for herself.
She told us the file was sealed … but we didn’t believe her.
So we had another mole go down to the court house to check it out.
“It is sealed,” she reported back.
Whoa …
Sealing divorce files in South Carolina is incredibly difficult. In fact one family court attorney told us the process has “gotten a lot stricter recently.” Like everything in this backward, backwoods banana republic, it’s all “who you know.”
But as it relates to the sealing of this particular file, the “how” isn’t nearly as interesting to us as the “why?”
Seriously … what’s in this file that must be kept under lock and key?
We know Haley is the “other woman” in one divorce case … was she named in this one, too?
Haley vowed to run the “most transparent administration” in South Carolina history … and she still claims to be, despite a litany of examples of anti-transparent behavior.
As a candidate in 2010 Haley invoked a legislative exemption to keep her taxpayer-funded emails, computer records and public phone records hidden from public view after she was accused of having two extramarital affairs.
She still hasn’t released any of that information, by the way …
Haley also failed to disclose more than $40,000 she received from a company doing business before the state. Since taking office, Haley has been busted convening off-the-record public meetings, withholding relevant emails under the state’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and even deleting emails – although she claims to have stopped the latter abuse.
Under Haley’s “leadership,” South Carolina ranks dead last in the nation in access to public documents … including this divorce file.
Naturally the contents of this file – assuming they ever see the light of day – don’t matter. Nothing sticks to “Trikki Nikki” because she’s the “Jobs Governor” and “It’s a Great Day in South Carolina.”

Damn, FITS. Scorching some earth of your own…
Ooops! Did she do it again?
“Well, we’d love to tell you … but the file has been sealed.”…not to worry, before long an anonymous source will come up with something that FITS will print, be it truth or fiction.
Don’t worry, no matter what Haley does “The Colonel” and the rest of his idiot brigade will vote for Haley!
Don’t worry Sheheen will have his idiots.
But guys, she’s the least worst! The least worst! As long as you keep up with your state-funded identity protection and never end up in the care of DSS you should be fine!
This is more like it Fits.Call women whores and bitches and if they work “closely” with a man accuse em of having an affair.
You are a piece of work. All of ya.
She was just lonely while her husband was deployed. Military wives get real freaky-deeky, when their significant other is gone. Believe me, I know.
And you are a piece of shit.
However…I didn’t just spend $4,000,000 and humilate myself, my family and damage the SCDP for decades by proving there is “NOTRUSTINTOM” and that he is fucking liar and quitter!
She’s a liar. Period.
I will say again, In 2007 I worked in the Capitol building. Haley was a lowly below average, do little, 3rd year Legislator. The hot rumor in all circles was the ongoing affair between Haley and Will Folks. It was the talk of the building. A female Legislator and Gov. Sanford’s spokes person. NO ONE, NOT THE FIRST person considered Haley as a threat for higher office, nor smart enough to EVER be anything more than a boring, average run of the mill House Member from Lexington!
So this begs the question, If not true, why would this be a hot discussion?
The obvious answer is, no one would have made this up! No one would have repeated the affair, if it was not TRUE and an ONGOING situation!
After watching Haley for 4 years, seeing her refuse to answer questions on her mismanagement, lying about everything from emails to ethics filings, jobs at Lex. Medical and Wilbur Smith, The Savanna River sellout, the DOR breach, and DSS and then Larry Marchant, I’m convinced that all is true!
If she isn’t guilty, I’m the long dead Elvis, masquerading as Rita Allison part of the time and Katrina Shealy, the rest!!!!
Jobs, Jobs, Jobs.
And she’s still not smart enough. And never will be.
Really don’t give a shit what you think. What Tom Ervin did today tells me all I need to know. THe scheme and scam he just pulled on the voters in SC will damage the SCDP for a decade.
You people have accused this woman of everything, including murder (DSS). Sheheen is brazen enough to call her a “whore”.
She is a conservative, pro-life and pro-traditional marriage.
I involve myself in several different races in election cycles. Haley’s toughness reminds me of Jesse Helms in the 1990 North Carolina Senate race when the pundits had him down several points and the MSM had him buried. I was with Jesse in that Greensboro , NC airport hanger as we met with with voters and the media followed the campaign on the day before the election. Jesse had been pummeled by the MSM with lies and falsehoods , much like they and Fits do with Haley.
The MSM smelled blood and a Helms defeat.Unbelievably I watched a man thank the very media that had tried to destroy him. A man of honor.
NIkki has shown honor and will be rewarded on November 4th.
So all of her transgressions, scandals, complete failures, and lies don’t bother you, but a political opponent calling her a name does?
Wow. You are blinded.
Tom Ervin showed SC today why you can’t trust Democrats.
Obama quit on America and Ervin quit on SC.
Tom gonna return those campaign donations or go on a vacation?
That’s a nice redirection, but you didn’t answer the question.
I am done answering lies and falsehoods about Haley. WE are going to shove it up your ass so hard on November 4th that “sparlkecity” will feel the voters rage via his tent in Moore,SC.
Of course you are done. The same way she is–you just don’t do it.
And “We” who? If either one of them win we all lose.
This is the shit I don’t get about politics; the people involved in it think its a friggin’ football game; the people who get fucked by it just get lied to about it all.
Ya left out Palin quitting on Alaska!
YOU BETCHA!
Ervin really fucked those 20,000 SC voters that signed his petition and put him on the ballot.
Is he gonna give those donors that contributed $100,000 to his campaign their money back?
YOU BETCHA?
YOU ARE SO EASY!
YOU BETCHA!
So is her boss.
YOU BETCHA!
No you didn’t work in the Capitol building.
The hot rumor originated with Will because she was the only powerful hot women he knew.
She was only in her third year, but was the only hot girl around to gossip about.
No one considered her smart enough for high office. Proves how stupid they were.
The definition of a Dumb@$$ (not insanity) is to keep doing the same thing over and over, and expecting it to work, when it has failed again and again.
Ah, you are correct. Like voting for Haley, Sanford, Eckstrom, McMaster, Bauer, etc. You nailed it.
I like the results GOP polices (when followed) give. Look at highly GOP voting sections. Prosperity is much more prevalent among Republican voters than the cyclical poverty and failure where Democrats reign. You actually make my point…. I don’t expect a different result. I nailed it…you are right…
With the exception of Sanford, right on.
Nikki is a fine, upstanding role model for our daughters. And you are just jealous. Leave her alone you big liberal dummy.
Shut the F up Simran.
Say WHAT?
Nothing. I figured that I would mock her supporters, and see how many fools would actually agree with it.
GREAT GOVERNOR, WILL WIN BY A LANDSLIDE!!!
Which one filed as the victim — wife or husband?
She is listed as plaintiff. I don’t see an attorney listed for him either, only the plaintiff’s atty.
Didn’t Obama win his US Senate seat by getting a corrupt liberal judge to unseal the Republicans divorce records? …FITS and Obama have a lot in common…
Post the link to your blog. So we can see it.
The true story, that is
FITS – The State or Charleston City Paper – do not allow voices not in line w/ the leftwing to be posted…When you can beat the $#!t out of them, at their game, they have a tendency to be a little possessive of eyes they just as soon keep covered.
It’s easier to sell their cliches and myths, if reality is never presented to their dolt disciples.
PS: SC is ranked in the Top 3 of best states to do business with. We got it up now.. I bet FITS will not show you that, nor will The State.
“Area Development” are the ones who are responsible for this data.
They came up with this data by interviewing four “experts” in economic growth and stability:

I mean they don’t really have that much traffic so I’m a bit sketched out by them.
http://i.imgur.com/YpEoWt8.png
FITSNews has an Alexa score significantly higher than that.
To ruin your little rant about being Top 3 in the country to do business with, I present you with Forbe’s version. Which I find to be much more reliable for some reason.

Haha! BAM!
Knew he was T. Lawrence and not Emily Peterkin.
What’s his first name, Karl?
LMAO!!! Go get him Buz…find out his name and where he lives…stalk him…find out where his family lives…stand in his front yard with your prettiest dress on and call him out…
BUz is back!!!
Shot at a peeping Tom outside my bedroom window last night. Are any of the ERs reporting a bearded tranny in a tin-foil beanie, on Obamacare, in a blue dress, with birdshot to the @$$???…LMAO…
A classic!!! I told ya about Buz. Rumor was that he used to sit in the dumpster @ Fuddruckers in MB and wait to see if any local politicians were playing “spin the bottle” in the parking lot. :-)
Creepy. Sounds like FITS, who is always trying to stick his nose in the underwear drawer of the people he hates, but cannot whip at the ballot box.
Buz I can’t dox the poor man.
Eminently civil of you, good sir.
I’m obviously a horrible human being even to ask.
Haw!
Karl Marx!
Damn, son, you didn’t even give him a chance!
A chance for what?
Wow: you caught me. Presenting manufactured data. I bet all your HARD work will doom Haley. You are so smart and you and FITS are such brilliant political strategists.
PS: I hope you don’t do for Food Allergies what you did for Ravenel, Ervin and Mace. But I do hope more Democrats enlist your “help” in their campaigns. You have an unblemished track record that I so admire. I can’t thank you enough. (:
PSS: Since you know where I live, come by the Mobile Home and see me sometime. I’m sure you, and your minions, have some notions about me…why don’t you come and see how accurate you are…(;
SCPB?
South Carolina’s Political Bullshitter?
It was a typo Buz, she has the scoop..
It would have to be one gigantic scoop, for all that bullshit.
speaking of “irrational contempt”…
If you don’t get any sleep at all between now and election day, Will, you can dump everything you’ve got on us about you and NIkki — plus your best intel on this Pearson thing.
Yeah, it might elect that turd Sheheen. But … well … out of the two of them, he’s the whore that will love you long time. BWAAAHAAAHAAAHAAAA!!!!
Too late BUz.Sheheen will be lucky to hit 40%.
Maybe so, maybe no. Depends on which internal polls you believe.
pogo, I actually have friends who are doing all they can to keep him from winning — as well as friends who are doing all they can to keep Haley from winning. And I have no problem with either group, because I can’t stand either one of them.
Of course, if I HAD to be stranded on a desert island with one of them … well, you know …
Hint: It would NOT be Sheheen in a tight blue dress and boots.
IF it was Sheheen you could wear your favorite dress? :-)
You’re wearing it out, pogo. They say if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe you. But they have to first actually pay attention to you. You fail on that count.
I believed Sandi the first time he revealed it, because I based it on what you’ve said about yourself, and substantiated info. elsewhere.
Yeah, we all believe all the negative stuff said about you, too because it is presented by nameless trolls, Mr. Lawrence. I mean, who CAN you trust if not pogo aka Sandi aka a million other names? Right?
Buz, thanks for reminding me of “POGO” — one of my older female cousins used to collect all of the books. I’m going to see if she kept them. Walt Kelly and Al Capp were probably the principal inspirations for my unique humor and wit. When the day comes and I find myself tied to a rocking chair on the front porch in the old folk’s home, those little old ladies will be bringing iced tea and cakes just to listen to my stories. Thanks, Buz.
Well, you’re welcome, but one of the thinks I like the least about this pogo is the way he sullies the name of a good swamp possum.
These are my comic inspirations from age 12 or so. Including Kurtzman/Feldstein and MAD. So we have that in common.
It may be why you seem so conspiratorial toward your enemies, instead o articulating why you hate them. …
Imitators are usually frustrated…why not try to be original and create something using your mind, instead of being a lazy copier of someone else’s imagination?
Wait, wait … let me write this down. To be inspired by someone is to be unable to do anything but copy them. Nobody, in the history of the world has ever been inspired by anyone and gone on to do something original.
Maybe if you tried making even a little bit of sense sometimes you would not get shit on so much and people would read your crappy blog, T.L.
Inspiration or being totally reliant on someone else’s work are different notions.
Your projection only. I never said I only rely on their works.
Jesus, you do have too much time on your hands, don’t you? Just picking at me for the hell of it.
Fuck off.
The complete “collected works” of Pogo is being published. I have seen Vol. 3 and in it they say they expect it will take 12.
He doesn’t have anything. Never did, and there will be no “info dump” because there is no info. This non-story is the best dig Will can muster, and that speaks volumes. Add the planted comments from a “former State House worker” and even the peanut gallery regulars who can’t add single digit numbers should be able to sort this one out.
Fitsnews was always, first and foremost, Will’s stage to promote his delusions as a “playah” and a king-maker, to crow about conquests and confrontations that never happened. This is his reality show, and if the last few days’ posts haven’t brought this home and utterly exposed his M.O., then I don’t know what will.
It’s *all* right there in front of us.
Nikki’s a slore, and an awful governor the only delusional people are the ones who will vote for her on Tuesday.
Not even denying that. But Fits keeps attacking it from the wrong angle.
What’s that restaurant in Columbia where Haley used to make out and suck bones in the parking lot? In her car at night when she was a representative? She do that with Pearson too?
The Gulp & Blow.
MacDougall’s. No shame.
Lizards Lickit? Mellow MILF? More-Easyies?
Tim has been a busy man a Richland County Court, 6 rules to vacate
rental property at 1833 glenwood in 2014.
Has he ever been charged with or convicted of Criminal Domestic Violence?
Don’t think he has.
No one cares. She can screw whoever she likes. No longer an issue.
That’s a lot of Republican bigshots you are talking about.
Teddy Heffner and Carey Rich have been fired by 560 The Team. Their attitude – or irrational contempt- toward USC was A LOT like FITS’. Check it out on SCPSD…
YAWN…..
wtf?
Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.
You mean Teddy “um er uh yeah my freinds Todds carwash” Hefner?
Who gives a shit? Its AM radio. I was barely aware its still being broadcast.
God you’re an idiot.
Which judge allowed these records to be sealed?
Why does no ‘journalist’ EVER name the judge?
The Island Packet needs to get to work on this.
The Island Packet???? hahahahahahahahahahahhahahwawawawawawawawawawawawawhahahahahahahahahhwahwahwahwahawahwah!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obviously, you have not followed their work on judges doing things they should not do…you ignorant slut.
How about a Class action lawsuit against Tom Ervin by the campaign donors that he fleeced for $100 Grand?
According to the Greenville News “traitor” tommy ain’t ruled out campaigning side by side with Sheheen.
Tommy really fucked those 20,000 that signed that petition and got him on the ballot. Fraud???
Stick that up your Island “packed” ass.
You need a few ‘ludes!
YOU BETCHA!
Tommy gonna be Vinnies right hand man1
Tommy dropped out bro, you can stop talking about him no-
Ah, shit, forgot, that’s what you’re paid to do. My bad. By the way, the Waffle House near me is hiring, you know, in case you need a new job in November for no reason in particular. *wink* *wink*
Don’t tell me who the fuck to stop talking about.Ervin lied to the voters , took their money and run.
Of course you being of the same character as Ervin,that is not a problem.
Never worked for Haley. Don’t know her or ANYBODY associated with her campaign. My services as “The Truth Detector” have been provided for free.
Unlike you I don’t have to wait at the mailbox first of the month to eat.
Waffle House? Thought you had a job for me? :-)
“Big T”, “Grand Tango” lives!
Wonder if “Sandi” ever met up with the dude in the blue bibs?
Also, do fags spell their names with an “i”?
Where is eue max and sparklecity? Maybe we can have a “come to Jesus” moment on the events of today?
Not you DEo…continue your pursuit of the truth on the Cartoon Network.
Where there is smoke, there is usually fire. However, her personal life is her business.
Not when she’s a standing US Governor.
She does have a helluva ass
Yeah, that one thing that’s grown during her tenure.
Attention All:
Usually….we, here, at FITS like to tell you we don’t care who touches/bangs/penetrates/etc who…so long as it is two consenting folks of legal age.
However, when we talk about Will’s old flame…we usually like to call the ole’ hypocrite out of the bullpen.
That is…we have principles and rules, but when our rules get in the way of a good story, we usually like to defer to the good story.
Enjoy the read!
Love,
FITS
P.S. do i care about any of these flings? nope! Do I care about politicians that are by the people, of the people, and for the people (meaning we don’t exalt or glorify them)? Yep!
Where is OWB?
If she is the “other woman”, then Vince was correct…garbbled words and all. I know she must make her family proud.
There’s a word to describe this kind of behavior. What was it again? Anyone? Vince?
We will have to look at the SC Domestic code statutes to see what public records are allowed to be sealed. Mostly, it is cases involving child abuse. Typical everyday divorces cases (even ones where adultery has been alleged) are not allowed to be sealed – nor even under the common law. Was Haley allegedly involved in another affair? What Family Court Judge ordered the file sealed? Who are the attorneys of record? Where the records sealed due to elections?
This site is full of idiots! MLK,JFK and other politicians have records sealed for 75 years. Bill Clinton only releases certain info that is handpicked. Can you not find out something better to write about for these idiots to respond to. I am beginning to see while you have the nickname you do!
Why cant we get T Ravs drug information and Sheheen’s records of the suits who brought against this state. What about all the records of legislators that sued and those that have collected from the state. You folks are hopeless and without the ability to do anything worth while!
Not one elected official has ever said that their staff don’t have the same rights in the legal system as a private citizen. How exactly would Haley force a judge to unseal documents? Ever heard of separation of powers? Also, you are not libel for any accusations you might make in these filings. Pearson’s wife could make any false statement and there is no liability for those statements.
The legislature has an exemption to keep their emails private. The people communicating with her presumed that it was private. Maybe Will Folks thinks it’s ok to reveal private communications, but most people wouldn’t. There may be emails critical of colleagues made in a rash moment that they would not want revealed. People should be able to email candidly without the concern of it being revealed.
Pull a David Axelrod, and like he did to Jack Ryan in 2004 Illinois senate race, find an activist judge to find an error and unseal them for the public good.
