“LIBERAL AMERICA” CLAIMS NATHAN DEAL WILL BE INDICTED
By FITSNEWS || When this website says a politician is getting indicted, it happens. Other websites? Not so much … which is why they no longer exist.
Anyway, one liberal website is going “all in” on the indictment front – predicting Georgia governor Nathan Deal will go down within the first two weeks of the new year.
The website – Liberal America – says Deal is the subject of a U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ) investigation stemming from a pair of former probes, one conducted by the U.S. House (where he served from 1993-2010) and another by the state of Georgia.
The former probe focused on allegations that Deal improperly used his congressional staff to pressure Georgia officials into continuing a vehicle inspection program. The extension of this program reportedly benefited an auto salvage company owned by Deal to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The latter probe? It focused on allegations that Deal improperly used campaign funds to pay for legal counsel related to the congressional investigation.
Does either case blow our skirt up? No … but Deal’s involvement in a 2011 South Carolina scandal (the infamous “Savannah River Sellout“) does interest us. A lot.
Anyway, according to the website, “a source who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that Deal will be indicted on multiple charges and that the case against him is ‘airtight.'”
Another source claims the indictments against Deal will be handed down “no later than January 15, 2015.”
Hmmmm …
Deal’s attorney, Randy Evans, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution the indictment reports were “absurd.”
“We’ve heard nothing from anyone,” Evans told the paper. “There’s no objective evidence of this, and I’m confident that it would be something I would have heard. There’s been nothing.”
Interesting …
Worth noting? The AJC has reported in the past on federal investigators issuing subpoenas to Georgia ethics officials regarding the agency’s investigation of Deal’s 2010 gubernatorial campaign.
Not only that, in July 2014 the paper obtained a memo in which the state’s ethics commission director – Holly LaBerge – claimed to have been pressured by Deal’s chief of staff Chris Riley and his chief legal counsel Ryan Teague to “make the complaints (against Deal) go away.”
Fueling the fire? LaBerge failed to provide the memo to reporters who submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for all documents related to the Deal investigation.

What? This can’t be true! The perspicacious voters of Georgia just re-elected this statesman!
Another criminal brought to you by Southern Republicans. These people are lawless thugs, but goddamn do you suckers love them so.
He’s guilty until proven innocent.
If he is guilty I hope they hang him. Coming from a Democrats that is very hypocritical and you should not invoke the name of God you Democrats do not acknowledge him!
That you Mark?
I ain’t a Democrat. I’m a Rethuglican, like you.
! am not a Republican or Rethuglican I just vote what I think is the lesser of two evils. I am about of the opinion there are no honest politicians left,especially if they have been around for a while. But as crooked as the Federal Government is they should not investigate anyone until they clean up themselves.
No, you’re definitely a Rethuglican. It’s OK, be proud. We run things here in the South.
I am glad you know me better than I do myself.
Me too. We Rethuglicans can sense one of our own is around. It’s like sniffing asses.
Why is it the Southern Republicans who give lip service to Jesus at every turn are the biggest group of crooks? It’s stupid people like you who keep electing these frauds.
You have tunnel vision! You have more crooks in all political parties and government than you have in the rest of the country.
The US Justice Department sweeps more under the rug every year than the rest of the country. This Administration is the most corrupt in my lifetime.
No ..actually if all you deal with is facts, and reading yoru comments you may want to look up the meaning of the word..the most corrupt administration in history, was the Reagan administration with almost 140 convictions, and literally hundreds of indictments..but please troll, don’t let facts get int he way of your hatred and partisan delusions…hey have you met Grand asshat/flip/sandi yet? you guys will be close.
show me the proof that God exists. There is none.
What difference does geographical position play into it? Nothing. Furthermore, there’s not a political party that can claim they’re any more observant of laws than the other. It’s a two headed snake, you rube.
Oh, we own it in the South East. How can you deny it, Pieces of Shit? Just think of how many indictments and convictions there would be if we weren’t running everything down here. You should be happy, DooDoo Issues.
Politicians everywhere “own it” you idiot. Just another jackass trying to prove how “stuck back” the south is. I’ve lived all over the united states, there is corruption around every corner.
Uh, yeah. I’m just talking about our little corner of the world, that we control. Glad you decided to join us here. I assume you like what we do? Maybe you feel like a pig in shit?
seen any payments from Big Al (Friend of Barry)Sharpton for his back taxes? Crooks come in all shapes and political preferences.
Two words, Charlie Rangel.
I would list all the Rethuglicans in SC (forget all of the south east) who have pled guilty to various crimes and ethics violations in the last eight years, but there isn’t enough room here. It’s cool though, you’ll keep electing us. Thanks, boy.
Wonder how the investigation into Steve Benjamin is coming?
pleaded – you are welcome
Grammar? lol. This is the SC. Silly fucking liberal.
No worries. The GOP can just run him with the other republican crook governors in 2016.
If indicted, I hope he squeals some valuable information on Nookie.
I hope if he’s convicted he gets the death penalty and they send Nikki over to screw him to death. I hear she’ll do it for $10k.
The best way for a Governor to get a sweet-heart plea deal is to rat out another Governor, and it would be lovely if it was our gov!
That makes i a two-fer for the prosecutor. And they love that!
And, the Georgia-Pacific/Koch name would come up if any of this is related to both Deal AND Haley and their deal.
Yes, yes, this would be nice, but weren’t WE supposed to get multiple indictments before the end of the year? Oh, I know how exact predictions can go awry a bit, but we were so hoping.
The next Metts news may be of interest though. Wasn’t that scheduled for tomorrow?
Didn’t realize that he was a junk yard guy. That said, he’s guilty. Being shady and doing backroom deals is a prerequisite for the industry.
And: LIBERAL WEBSITE (named FITS): SC Gov. Going Down…
STFU…you idiot…Democrats have been deemed UNFIT for elected office, so you sic your corrupt DOJ dogs on Republicans….
People HATE you…and are voting that way. It may not have caught you yet…but it will…Just keep up the Bull-$#!t….it’ll come back on y’all.
Seriously, you might want to present to an ER. Strokes aren’t anything to play with. Since you don’t have any loved ones to recognize your symptoms, I guess it’s up to us FitNews regulars to alert you. Call 911. The Fire Dept can help assist in cutting out a wall or whatever to help the EMTs get you outside and into a waiting ambulance. Don’t worry, it’s not like when you were a young adult. They don’t just drill a hole in your head to let the demons out when you have stroke like symptoms. Medicine (and society) have come a long way since then.
Drunk…AGAIN.
Bobby Harrell, Grimm from New York..its always the liberals huh? Voices screaming in grand trolls head (sandi/flip/pogo…go back to talking about Obama and anal sex..its all about the anal sex…”)
Maybe there’s some method to the madness of the DOJ going so slowly on these cases of GOP gubernatorial corruption.
So many GOP governors are thinking of running for president on the grounds they have shown they are competent executives – HA, HA – when they start being indicted in droves just before 2016, some people – like the MSM, not to mention voters – might take note of the trend…might.
“….GEORGIA GOVERNOR GOING DOWN….”
Isn’t that what the Southern Governor yelled when he went down South on the other Southern Governor
