SOUTH CAROLINA ATTORNEY GENERAL RECUSES HIMSELF IN ONGOING CORRUPTION INVESTIGATION

|| By FITSNEWS || S.C. attorney general Alan Wilson is recusing himself from an ongoing state-federal investigation into corruption at the S.C. State House.

Again …

For the second time in as many years, Wilson is handing off prosecutorial authority in a public corruption case to S.C. first circuit solicitor David Pascoe – citing potential conflicts of interest related to the probe.

“Out of an abundance of caution, (Wilson) has designated Solicitor Pascoe to handle any matters involving certain legislative members,” a statement from Wilson’s office read.

DAVID PASCOE
DAVID PASCOE

According to The (Charleston, S.C.) Post and Courier, Wilson’s latest handoff – well, “punt” – took Pascoe completely by surprise.

The probe” – exclusively unearthed by this website last September – has already brought down powerful former S.C. Speaker of the House Bobby Harrell.

Last October, Harrell pleaded guilty to six ethics-related counts, resigned his office and got three years of probation.  Harrell also signed a cooperation agreement with the government agreeing to assist investigators moving forward – although it’s not clear if (or how) he’s been called upon to honor that agreement in the months since he cut his deal.

Pascoe handled Harrell’s prosecution after Wilson recused himself from any matters involving the former Speaker, citing undisclosed conflicts.

Numerous state lawmakers have been rumored to be under the probe’s microscope – although it’s been several months since the investigation was on anyone’s radar.

At least publicly …

In fact things had gotten so quiet in recent months many believed the investigation was over.

Clearly that’s not the case …

Wilson’s statement referencing “certain legislative members” indicates an ongoing investigation.  In fact many political insiders believe his recusal indicates at least some of those members could be affiliated with the neo-Confederate political empire of Richard Quinn and Associates – which manages the political destinies of numerous state lawmakers and elected officials, including Wilson.

Wilson’s office did not immediately respond to our request for comment on his recusal, however a statement distributed by Wilson’s press secretary Mark Powell indicated he would “not comment on ongoing criminal investigations.”

What are state and federal prosecutors looking for?

Cash doled out by political action committees is said to be at the heart of the investigation.   In fact these alleged disbursements were rumored to be among the items discussed in a heavily redacted S.C. State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) report on Harrell – news of which also broke exclusively on FITS.

Stay tuned …

Whatever information we receive on the investigation we’ll be sure to pass along.

I hope hey get all the crooked bastards. And then the handful of others can turn this thing around for us.

However, experience tell us that any infraction will be technical in nature, or campaign related. As we all know, no one ever stole a penny from the government or the taxpayers. Wink, wink.

Smart move.
Vote for a governor based on national issues a governor can’t do a thing about except make meaningless political gestures that will only get us sued and be overturned.
That mentality – or, lack thereof – has been working out so well for SC since 2002.
But, apparently every GOP voter falls for it.
Saps.

There used to be a time when a corruption busting AG was on his way to fame and almost endlessly high office.
But, in the 21st century SCGOP, all the AG wants to do is wimp out time and time again.
Of course, this is SC, and he figures as long as he has the R after his name, the same voters who missed that Nikki Haley never paid a local, state or federal tax on time or at all unless a lien was imposed, will give him their votes, too.

There’s no “upside” to good government in SC. Why bother? Elected officials may be incompetent, lazy, or corrupt and the sheep will go to the polls and reelect them.

Kelly August 1, 2015 at 7:53 pm

Elected officials do not run SC.

Bureaucrats run state government. They run it by leading the elected officials around by the nose, feeding them with the info that best suits the bureaucrats interest.

They run SC by making issues more complicated than they really are, so that the officials and the public can’t understand them.

They run SC by forming alliances with the press to leak stories unfavorable to the good officials that care, and favorable to the lazy and aloof official that could care less about their constituents.

They run SC such that they maximize their power and prestige and salary to the detriment of the interests of the citizens of SC.

Elected officials enable the bureaucrats by being lazy. And when an elected official is not lazy and is in fact energetic, the bureaucrats remove him from office, or damage him in the effort, which amounts to the same thing.

Manray9 August 1, 2015 at 8:06 pm

I don’t agree that the politicians are passive elements in the system. They could control the bureaucrats if they wanted to. As I said above: There is no “upside” in it.

Kelly August 1, 2015 at 8:55 pm

Yes, they could do something if it was in their best interest.

However, if an elected official does nothing but smile, be nice to the press and toe the party line ,he will be in office till the day he dies.

Why would a pol in SC do anything? There is no upside to meaningful action, only downside. The moment they take on the status quo they are eviscerated by the status quo and their friends, and usually the press. (When is the last time the press supported a reformer?)

The best thing a pol can do is sit quietly and collect his pay and benefits.

Love August 2, 2015 at 1:46 pm

Loftis is collecting his pay and benefits… for sure. And he takes care of his intimate friend Mike Montgomery and he takes kickbacks like vacations in Italy in the villa of Ed McMullen. Ed handles advertising for the Future Scholar 529. Love me , I love you back… The tax payers are violated… But who cares?

Steve August 2, 2015 at 4:23 pm

Such deception. Really incredible.

Love August 2, 2015 at 5:51 pm

I don’t know about that. Check out Loftis on this: https://jamesakersjr.wordpress.com/2015/07/20/curtis-loftis-all-i-did-was-tell-the-truth/ Looks racist to me. But then, to Curtis, it is never Curtis’s fault. The worst kind of racist is the one who deceives himself that he isn’t racist. Model for that: Curtis Loftis.

Racist August 2, 2015 at 6:06 pm

Loftis is racist to the core…Dangerous and vicious. What a fine elected official!! Vomit.. He needs to resign or be “fired” as soon as possible.

I did not know he was employable.

Gameisup August 5, 2015 at 8:25 am

Curtis Loftis is a bully and a vicious cyberbully. From way back. In 2004 on Alt. talk.royalty Curtis Loftis was exposed as “gay, dick head and UR one evil guy, trying out of jealousy to ruin something positive…” and The Saluda Foundation was exposed as a”Buckshit Organisation , no one takes seriously… Lets write to Loftis church and tell them of his evil and the Saluda Foundation. Close down his charity…” Loftis had many false names and posts : RichinUS2003, Chris Richards, Cloftis,.. On 1/20/04 Under Serbia: Orthodox church.. “This guy Loftis started an attack on Princess Linda…He accuses her of embezzlement but offers no proof….It is obvious that this guy Curtis Loftis is wired and probably mentally unstable…Mr Loftis, go away you are a pariah..” Yes, Loftis is experienced in cyberbullying and false accusations without proof, He must resign now

Rob August 2, 2015 at 6:13 pm

Loftis clear reported what he saw. There is a video to back it up. left wingers just never miss a chance to split the races. Too bad really. Just too bad.

Missy August 2, 2015 at 8:06 pm

Such silly little lies you tell.

RogueElephant August 2, 2015 at 8:18 am

You are dead on right about this and Curtis Loftis is the perfect example. These bureaucrats get a “gubment”job and after a few years of getting into the job they learn how to manipulate the process to their base beliefs. Most bureaucrats couldn’t hold down a real job but screw the system and good politicians.

Ellie August 2, 2015 at 12:06 pm

It’s true. Loftis came in as an outsider for reform. Now he is a bureaucrat of the first order. over 80% turnover in his office since he came. Many of those disillusioned were hired by him and were not entrenched bureaucrats. Too bad.

Fake August 2, 2015 at 1:16 pm

Curtis Loftis has assault charges against him, violent temper beyond control, a vile life style, lies and false accusations too numerous to count, He hopes to get browny points from the tea party ladies by posting pictures of churches on his Facebook!!! What a fake man. sick and mentally unstable.

Just that Homosexual Daniel Brennan carping at Loftis. Loftis let him go because of poor performance and he is mad.

Daniel and his boyfriend are just back from Iceland where the legal age of consent is 14.

Wow, wonder how Daniel liked that? I mean 14 is awfully young.

Jealous August 2, 2015 at 4:47 pm

Heard that Loftis is homosexual and that he likes young men with a big bulge.. How many PR guys left the STO? FIVE, Five…Something very sordid about that.. Why do they leave ? Is Loftis preying on young men? Curtis could not have them, so…they left.. Nothing to do about poor performance at work… Poor performance in other areas.. Rejection makes a State Treasurer very mad, and very jealous, indeed.

Bruce August 2, 2015 at 6:16 pm

You have Curtis confused with Dan Breenan, who just returned from a vacation where the legal age of gay sex was 14! hmmm, i wonder how much cash Daniel and his boyfriend spent? I wonder if the Concerned Veterans for America financed any of that trip.

There might be photos. If anyone gets photos post them, especially if there are 14 or 15 year old boys in it.

Movie Producer Pat August 2, 2015 at 6:17 pm

Are there videos of Dan Brennan and boyfriend in this vacation sex land where the legal age is 14?

R. Lime August 2, 2015 at 7:43 pm

It may be on Grindr called little piggy porn. I have watched it over and over, but hard to see anything. Size is evidently not important while on vacations in countries where the age of consent for gat sex is 14

Sam August 2, 2015 at 8:26 pm

Legal consent to gay sex at the age of 14? Wow, Daniel must have searched all the porn sites to find that out.

That is what I like about Daniel. If you want to know about gay sex laws he is the guy!

Orphans August 3, 2015 at 7:31 am

Rumors are rampant that Loftis used his Saluda Charitable foundation in Ukraine because it provided easy access to young orphans boys… How sick is that? He knows all about sex laws in Ukraine! Sick, sick..

Wilbur August 3, 2015 at 7:47 am

Ask Daniel Brenan. He knows about such things. See grinder videos for fresh info.

Projection August 3, 2015 at 9:02 am

Wilbur, You can bet that if Loftis talks about violence against women, he has done it. See police report. If he talks about sex with 14 years old, he has done it. If he talks about lies, false accusations, he has done it. If he talks about grinder videos, he has done it. If he talks about traveling with a gay man, he has done it. Logan Simmons and many others? This is a peculiar personality trait called “projection” in which a person projects his own behavior onto others. Many narcissistic people have it.

Andrew August 3, 2015 at 7:36 pm

Are there videos of Curtis Loftis and boyfriends and more for his vacation in California and many other places? We, the tax payers of SC want to see them. Loftis needs to come clean, CLEAN. He needs antibiotics, beach, and more , as he is infected with a vile, loathsome Incurable disease. Are there any videos with the male orphans in Ukraine and Serbia? Did Loftis use the Saluda Foundation to have access to young boys?

Mako August 4, 2015 at 7:57 pm

Daniel, Daniel Daniel,

What are we going to do with you. You write nasty lies about other people yet are going to a vacation spot where 14 year old boys can have legally have gay sex.

I heard a rumor your boyfriend Steven had a great with the stack of $20.00 bills you took. But I guess a 14 year old does not know about business and may charge only a little bit. Or maybe you pay by the inch?

Someone said there were photos of you guys with the local boys but I have not seen them. Your Grindr site has me locked out. Hope you are not mad a me.

Oh well, if it is legal at 14 I guess it is not a sin. But still, it is kinda creepy to me.

hope you took the condoms. Those boys are kinda ruff.

Travel August 2, 2015 at 6:26 pm

Curtis, what do you have to gain by posting such things. You are a disgusting , vile man. A rejected gay man with the decency of a roach. Oh, the bug man of West Columbia with many traveling gay companions ..We know you.

Nick August 2, 2015 at 6:34 pm

Oh Dan,

Don’t be silly. This is not Curtis, this is the guy you sent a penis pic to 2 weeks ago on Grndr while you were in a Concerned Veterans for America meeting. I was offended by it, so small and smelly looking. I told you I would get you back. B

Besides, I like seeing you mad at Curtis!

He is the only guy that fights for the taxpayer.

Faye August 2, 2015 at 5:21 pm

Seems like Loftis has run the lousy employees off and replaced them with much better ones. I thin that is what is called attacking the status quo.

Some state employees are fat, lazy and always faking some injury. Some are great people that work hard. The trick is to fire the former, hire the latter.

Good job, Mr. Treasurer.

The greatest illusion of 2015 is that Loftis thinks that his infected butt and oozing penis are a source of envy and desire. Young men with a bulge, the Koch brothers and the veterans will squash any political burp named Curtis Loftis. Bye, Bye Loftis and good riddance, Loftis.

Fool August 2, 2015 at 3:46 pm

Ken…Slugging away? You mean fucking the tax payers of SC and filling his pockets and the pockets of his friends. Loftis lost over 200 millions from the trust fund of retirees of SC… millions have gone to his intimate friend and others.. Ethics violation coming up soon… What are the orders of the Koch Brothers and the concerned veterans for America? Please explain, you fool…

Cal August 2, 2015 at 4:18 pm

You are a liar. The investment commission lost over $200 million in 2008 and 09.

Loftis began his service in 2011. Your lie does not pass basic smell test.

As far as Ethics Commission, Loftis had a complaint filed on him by an investment common stooge. The hearing is scheduled. He has not been convicted of anything. It is a technical violation at best.

The Commissiom has lost, overpaid on fees, and underperformed billions of dollars. Yet u cast lies about Loftis.

Clearly, u have an agenda other than one of truth and honor.

Deception is difficult to pull off and when you see an attempt at it, know there is a reason for it, and if you figure out that reason you have found a real gem of info.

Clean out the nest August 1, 2015 at 1:01 am

Remember he is Joe Wilson’s son! He and Joe have an incestuous relationship with Danny Frazier, illegal gambling ring leader in Lexington, adulterer and disgraced Lexington Councilman.

They also have an cozy relationship with the other infamous adulterers and associates of the Ring, the Peelers, Metts, etc. Donna Peeler worked in Wilson’s office while married to another man and having an affair with Bob Peeler.

Randy Halfacre’s relationship with this bunch defeated him as Mayor and when he ran for Frazier’s Council seat.
The entire rats nest needs to be cleaned out permanently.

It is easy to create whiffs about elected officials. The law makes it a heavy burden for a elected official to defend himself.

Some of the most rotten, lying, miserable people in SC are the ones creating the whiffs. They know that creating the whiff, dragging the official through the newspapers, etc, is in fact a win. What the Ethics Committee or Ethics Commission does is just a bonus.

Some officials are bums, but many are not. Too bad a creep can create a whiff for the price of a postage stamp or an anonymous post.

Ethics my rear. The House Senate Ethics Committees and the State Ethics Commission is a farce and a joke. They do nothing. It has been well written about here and makes a mockery of the process.
You are obviously one of the officials who benefit from the Throne of Power. When you have the political connections, you can pretty well get away with anything and do it at the expense of the taxpayers!!!
When you mention creeps look in the mirror! You will probably find one of those you attempt to defend and spin the narrative in their favor!
it is called abuse of office and abuse of process!

I hate creeps August 1, 2015 at 9:05 pm

Silly you. You have not a clue what I think.

I think there should be one Ethics entity that has police like powers to investigate ethical wrongdoing!

As it is now, officials can be dragged through the mud because one person files a complaint. That person has no liability for his complaint, but the official has to respond and be the focus of the press. It can cost an official 25 to 50 grand to defend himself and to win, yet the complainant has spent only the cost of a postage stamp and the time to write a complaint. Even when the complainant has been shown to be dishonest or wrong nothing happens to him.

Many complaints are just junk. I know because I studied many of them for a project. But they are treated as if they were legitimate, which of course I understand. But nonetheless, where does the pol go to get back his reputation?

I hate crooks in politics, but we need a system to deal with that, not to allow crackpots with grudges to run wild.

Nelly August 2, 2015 at 11:28 am

Sounds like you got an ethics complaint against you. Nobody to blame but you. You are the one that broke the law. Quit trying to find a scapegoat and man up!

Your comment is illogical.

B does not necessarily follow A.

Let’s pretend that a Democrat, with whom you share ideological tendencies, was elected. He starts to change the old boy GOP way of doing things. Then, a crackpot, closet KKK member file ethics charges against the Democrat. Your Democrat friend is a working man, so he can’t afford the 20 to 50 thousand dollars to defend himself.

Either he is not properly defended and suffers the possibility of loss or he mortgages his house to raise the money.

Even if he finds the money and wins the Ethics case, the negative publicity ruins his career and he can’t get re-elected.

Change in SC starts by allowing real leaders the ability to make change. Our petty laws harass those seeking that needed change and ensure that the status quo remains.

Alas, the system is rigged. The GOP has the status quo protected and it, cleverly, uses left wing hate to fuel their scheme of protection.

Hate, an unattractive quality that is rarely appealing on anyone, is a constant source of protection for the GOP in SC. They raise money on it, they are elected on it, and certainly, thank you for supplying such an unrestricted supply of that valuable resource.

Alan Wilson has Danny frazier’s criminal case in his office which is completely improper. Alan party with Danny when they lived in wood creek subdivision together.

I find it very suspect that jimmy Mets and Jason amodio has already entered pleas and serving their sentence, but Alan has yet to bring Danny Frazier to trial.

When Alan Wilson moved Danny fraizer’s criminal case to his office and has yet to bring him to trial, I lost all respect for him and his inaction to bringing his friend, Danny Frazier, to justice.

I find it disturbing and interesting.
EXHIBITS:
1)Wilson, Frazier lived in Wood Creek.
2)They then moved to another subdivision off Mineral Springs road Frazier lived next door to Bob Peeler, Wilson lived right up the street.
3)Frazier, P.eeler and Amodio partied, golfed and vacationed together together, with Mayor Halfacre, Jason Amodio.
4) Peeler and Donna worked in, campaigned for, stood at the polls with and ran Frazier bumper stickers for Frazier in Town Council race, and Fraziers attempt to win a legislative seat.
5) Donna worked for Joe Wilson, peeler campaigned for Wilson.
6) Frazier, Amodio, and the Peelers all supported and campaigned for Metts.
7)Greg Leon, who gave the bribe money to Frazier, for Metts, was also an associate of Frazier and Peeler.
8)Frazier gave bribe money to Amodio for the illegal gambling machines.
9)SLED never moved on the Lexington Ring illegal gambling and only started an investigation, six months after receiving a copy of the FBI affidavit and only after news of the Illegal Ring and bribery Conspiracy was reported publicly in the news.
10)Peeler is an associate of Leon, Metts, James, Amodio and Ring leader Frazier.
11)Frazier is recorded on a secret tape talking of how he has “Law Enforcement on Lockdown”.
12) Amodio, Metts and Leon are investigated by the Feds. and plead guilty.
13)Fraxier still walks free!?
14) The people you run with, play with and associate with illustrates the kind of character and morals you live by.
15) Frazier is an adulterer cheating on his wife, who had cancer!
16) Frazier testified in the divorce proceedings of Peeler and Donna, when they were sued for divorce, on adultery charges. To which they plead guilty. Amodio wrote a sworn affidavit for Peeler and Donna and was later convicted to lying to the Feds, in the Illegal Crime Syndicate Lexington Ring!?
17) peeler’s brother a ranking Senator, Number 2 in the Senate, Donna’s Aunt is Jean Toal.
18) Frazier publicly advised Gresham Barrett to drop out of the runoff with Nikki Haley. Frazier raised money for Haley.
Simple to see how all is relative and depraved and incestuous.

The question that needs to be asked is: As bad as this ring incestuousness is, as horribly corrupt as things are, would their political rivals be any better? It’s possible they could be worse in the sense of general governance. Their corruption mostly affects them and others in their corrupt little ring. Huey P. Long was as corrupt as the day was long, but he is arguably the best Governor in Louisiana history.

Beaufort County, SC, filing suit against MERS mortgage database

Colleton County is joining the other counties in the 14th Circuit in a legal challenge to how many mortgages are handled in the United States.
*
The lawsuit to be filed against Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems (“MERS”) seeks to have the database owned by nearly two dozen lenders follow the letter of South Carolina law in recording property records.
*
Each county’s register of deeds is required to keep records on the liens, like a mortgage, against properties in the county.
*
MERS, established in 2002, allegedly skirts that requirement. Every time a financial institution sells or buys a loan, a county’s register of deeds is to be notified and the new holder of the mortgage recorded.
*
The financial institutions that own MERS avoid the cost of making those changes by stating that MERS owns the mortgage, the mortgage holder and the county doesn’t know which financial institution holds the note.
*
The county’s case against Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems is being handled by Jim Scheider of the Bluffton law firm of Vaux & Marscher.
*
The suit being prepared for Colleton County alleges “The MERS System has created massive confusion as to the true owners of beneficial interest in mortgage loans and mortgages throughout the United States, including South Carolina, and has harmed U.S. counties, including plaintiff Colleton County. In short, the MERS System has eroded the transparency and corrupts the chain of title of the public recording system in the United States and the state of South Carolina.”
An attempt to obtain a comment from MERS officials on the suit was unsuccessful.
Scheider worked with Beaufort County officials to file the first local lawsuit against MERS, which holds 50,000 mortgages in Beaufort County.
*
After that suit was filed in Beaufort County Common Pleas Court, the defendant’s attorneys filed a motion seeking to have the case moved to federal court, where MERS has had success in defending legal challenges to its operation.
*
The judge who heard that motion, ruled the case would remain in the state’s court system.
Armed with that ruling, Scheider contacted officials in the other four counties that make up the 14th Circuit and sought their permission to file suits against MERS on their behalf. Vaux & Marscher will only get paid if the suits are successful.
*
Scheider said that he expects to see the suits removed from the Common Pleas Courts in each county and assigned to South Carolina’s Business Court.
It is a move that he will not oppose, Scheider suggested.“This is complex litigation involving business law,” he explained.
*
In 2007 the Supreme Court of South Carolina issued an administrative order establishing the business court.
*
The business court, with venues in Charleston, Richland and Greenville counties, was established to handle complex business, corporate and commercial matters
