When is the little bastard going to turn in his “Speaker of the House” license plates and go to DMV and stand in line for new ones — like us commoners (non-criminals)?

Report not only redacted – but purged of other things. Go to the prosecutors office and ask to see his “true” copy.

The forty-two page document – obtained my multiple media outlets…

Damn sorry to hear that, Will.
Sometimes those uppity documents act as if they are above the law.
Sure hope you can figure out a way to get your media outlets back…..

It must not matter. They are opening a new facility in Piedmont.
I guess those tax breaks are too much to turn down. SC could use that money for roads. He had to run his mouth and blame everyone else rather than let Michlin do its part.

Of interest, he took state per diem & mileage reimbursement AND had the campaign reimburse him for the same. Also couldn’t help but note the purchase at an Apple store for about $1500 and a later note indicating Harrell’s son had an apple computer.

What a scumbag.

Harrell told SLED he used his legislative stationary to

“…make sure that the hospitals knew he was contacting them as a private business owner and not in his official capacity as Speaker of the House.”

What nonsense.

WE sure got the message — Palmetto State Pharmaceuticals / Rep. Harrell is our new “preferred provider.” No questions to be asked.

SLED pg. 9 —

In Speaker Harrell’s interview (Ref Att. 6), he provided the following information:

Speaker Harrell did send a solicitation letter to different SC hospitals seeking business for PSP. He mentioned, in the letter, his position as Speaker of the SC House of Representatives only to make sure that the hospitals knew he was contacting them as a private business owner and not in his official capacity as Speaker of the House. He knew that his name alone was associated with being the Speaker of the House, so he felt he should make it clear that he was sending the letter as a private businessman and not as Speaker.

His State Farm office on Rivers Ave. in N. Charleston has a new name on it. Old man Harrell who started it and got all the customers, must be real proud of his son-the-bum.

Today’s Post & Courier, front page:

LEFT – “A feast of kindness; Charleston Basket Brigade delivers Thanksgiving dinner to 3,000”

RIGHT – “Report explains Harrell’s undoing. details misuse of campaign funds —
– trips on his personal airplane to a Harry Potter attraction in Orlando
– trip Harrell, his wife and daughter to Martha’s Vineyard for $3,880
– $3,874 to a baseball tournament to ’see and be seen by constituents’
– home setup for Harrell’s wife’s new computer, reconnecting Harrell’s daughter Nintendo Wii console to the house wireless network, and recovering data from Harrell’s son’s dead hard drive.”

A remarkable contrast.

Dear Bobby Harrell………

Just look at this comment section….really study it. What do you hear..? What is not being told in this comment section or this article..? From a social media and informative flow analysis “paradym”, the timing of all this offers you a great moment of media “counter-offensive” terrain. Bobby…this is what YOU need to do…….

1) Call the Post and Courier and Fitsnews to set up an interview and record the entire moment on youtube……

2) Point blank tell them that you are going to submit an OP-Ed to be run after your interview to settle any additional questions that arise that may be asked in a court of law..

3) During the interview…..ask to WORK as a contributor to FITSNEWS….

4) During the interview…….make sure you remind viewers that you are an insurance man and that you know full well how documentation matters in any circumstance. How can insurance claims be settled without proper documentation.

5) During the interview…..use your GEICO insurance competitor ads to highlight just how UN-responsive our state website is for voters and taxpayers..!! How transparent is that website..? Heck, look how long it took for ALAN Wilson to actually get state information to use against you in this indictment..!! Talk about Freedom of Information requests….. Geez..! (Roll your eyes and ask how long it takes a University to find 30 Million in missing “transportation” funds..?)

6) Come clean as being a double agent and using your information awareness to actually bring this to the attention of tax payers all across our state. Heck, look into the camera and ask….”Do citizens really think I want to live in a CHINESE state…!?”

7) Use your “lobby” chart….to actually illustrate how 900 Million in BOEING funding was years in the making…and did not happen overnight. Look into the camera and ask Alan Wilson how 900 Million to a corporation without the vote of the taxpayers is not worse than using funds that you have from your campaign account to fly to a “meeting”. Is Alan Wilson going to indict BOEING…..MAYOR SUMMEY…TIM SCOTT……Lindsey Graham……Jim Clyburn……and MAYOR Riley….?? Any insurance man in the lowcountry can see the payoff with that “development”..!?

8) Be a champion for our state’s media and look at your interviewers and tell them YOU are pulling for them and that you can only do so much..!@!

9) Be a champion for your fellow lawmakers and look into the camera and say your not ashamed of using campaign donations to fund a plane trip that may be against the LAW but who writes the LAWS..? How else are you going to get media “smoke” to put out the information fires in the STATE House..? Ashley Landess can only pull out so much hair..!!

10) Ask your interviewers if they know how their leadership or AD sponsors (media campaign editors) actually benefit from their “campaign accounts”..? Do readers or stockholders understand who benefits from the Post and Courier SQUARE..? Do readers understand how a landfill can be used to fund a “campaign”……?

11) Boldly tell how this state can be so much better than it can be but how good a job does our state’s media do in telling readers what is really going on..!! How long does it take…? Apple can come out with a new phone every 6 months but we are still only using CARS with fossil OIL that our sons and daughters and fellow HUMANS are getting killed for..?

12) Bobby its up to YOU………….you can squirrel up and join a lobby group or you can………..stand up and fight…!!! Bobby…your an insurance man…you understand RISK…!!

13)……….WIN……..win Bobby…….WIN..!!

Robert Ford, our criminal, former state senator from Charleston, was in Publix tonight.

Seeing him made me think of Bobby Harrell, our criminal, former state representative from Charleston.

And I thought, “These two pieces of stinking shit came from the same asshole.”
