Seems to me his wife is engaging within criminal conduct.

Adultery is so common these days, very few really do not care. If you enjoy related vindictive type gossip, remember the assistant state prosecutor who was fired for snooping in her coworkers and boss’s office computers and desk drawers – ran to WCSC news as if she was so upright and just? Her vindictive nature, narcissistic arrogance. legal incompetence, and karma bit her in the butt.

Odd she was not disbarred. But, hey! SC’s corrupt system has always been alive and well

What criminal conduct is Ms. Leber engaging in by outing her husband’s affair? You think liking their text messages is some sort of computer crime? If so, that’s laughable.

If that is the mistress on the couch beside him, can’t say that I blame him. Men were built to seek out new warm and moist places. To boldly go where other men have been before.

Going public about a spouse’s affair for revenge almost never produces the desired result, and if you have children, it hurts them the most. Just get the divorce [if you can’t get through it with lots of counseling -and it is possible, albeit rare], tell your children privately why, and try to get on with your life with some semblance of dignity.

If the desired result is to publicly humiliate the cheating spouse and his mistress, then I’d say mission accomplished.

Leber claims to have been in the Army Special Forces, specifically 10th SFG. I called him when he first ran for office and he told me then that he was only a support troop. His characterization is very misleading. As a 21 year veteran of Special Forces, I resent people making false claims of joining a unit that requires very difficult and long training. That is a form of stolen valor. It also makes him a liar.

Glad to see like-minded people calling out the stolen valor types. Most of the ones who used to blatantly claim SOG affiliations, ranks, medals have somewhat fallen off because they get busted so easily these days. Now you have those who just make fuzzy/vague “hero adjacent” statements that are calculated to make people believe certain things which they didn’t explicitly say, but they sure told the tale in just such a way to allow people to assume it, and they make no effort to later clarify the sophistry. Case in point, did you look into Sen. Stephen Smith trying to make it sound like he was injured in combat in some podcast interviews when in fact he was just hurt in a gym exercise incident? He is a skillful liar – he almost makes it an art form.

Correction – Sen. Stephen Goldfinch, not Smith.

Media outlets are evil, ruining the lives of millions of Americans with lies & half-truths! We have seen Presidents blatantly lied about and people fall for those lies! Intelligent people understand that there are always three sides to a story: her side, his side and somewhere in the middle lies the truth!

The judgement of the masses compounds the damage done by a woman who is lying about her victimhood! By her posts she does not speak of her prior knowledge of her failed marriage with negotiations having already begun between herself and her soon-to-be ex-husband! Anyone with a functioning brain can see by her frantic, disjointed, angry, accusatory, and at times nonsensical posts that she is more than unhinged!

For those who have faced uncontested divorce in S.C., they realize, putting their lives on hold for 2/3 years after a year of separation, is a prison sentence! All the while divorcing couples in G.A. Have only to wait 30/60 days for an uncontested divorce!
No one should be labeled a cheater when they and their spouse are living separate lives while working through divorce!
Nor should one spouse do to the other irreparable, intentional damage with lies and half-truths for any reason!

And then we add in the ugly folks
Who take pleasure in the pain of others! Responsible journalism is as dead as common sense! FACT! Our Country is a cesspool of lies, coverups, corruption, human trafficking, exploitation of innocent, precious children! And less and less people care that the Country is built on lies!

Do journalists research and dig for truth? Do they even know what integrity means? Naw, why should they actually do any real research when they can go online and grab screenshots of rants posted by an unhinged, vengeful soon-to-be ex-wife!

Blaming a soon-to-be ex for the divorce is a twisted story as old as time! Instead of accepting partial responsibility for the failed marriage, she has taken the opportunity to seize control of the narrative all while her obvious emotional instability, brewing for decades, destroyed her career, her soon-to-be ex-husband’s career! But the most egregious aspect of this atrocity is the blowing up of her children’s lives, creating more pain and suffering than they would have if she would have protected them!

Don’t defend the cheater! (Most say). Yet no one actually knows the truth, do they? But the masses gobble up the lies and gossip like swine at the trough!

Which kind of person are you?
Are you a swine revelling in their pain and suffering OR are you praying for the entire family?

Matthew 7:1-6

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

The drama that often happens when marriages move into the divorce phase. When children are involved and custody battles might appear, the mud slinging and wilful lies start.

Domestic lawyers drool over these kinds of cases if the litigants have money and assets. Have seen cases where certain female lawyers who do nothing but domestic cases have been repeatedly caught fanning the flames inorder to generate more profit for themselves. They have their own paid hoes on their team for court ordered mental health counseling for children, too

One female SC lawyer got rattled pretty hard when she found out the feds were prepared to charge and prosecute her. The feds even learned the judge in the case was in on the female lawyer’s illegal outrageous behavior. Federal statutes have expired. However, state never will. She can still be charged.

Exactly!
People who jumped to judgment without the facts, will be swallowing down their regurgitated lies! It’s sad that people accept lies but never seek the truth. But these lies are libel leading to the destruction of an entire family!
