A Richland County, S.C. solicitor has been accused of sexually harassing females in his office … the latest allegation in a long line of questionable behavior attributed to this powerful “upholder” of the law.
Sources familiar with the alleged conduct of S.C. fifth circuit solicitor Dan Johnson tell FITS he made “inappropriate advances” in and out of the office – and that these advances involved “multiple women.” At least one of these women pursued a formal complaint against Johnson, although it’s unclear whether she followed through on that action.
Johnson – formerly a top lawyer/ deputy with the Richland County Sheriff’s Department (RCSD) – has been accused of all sorts of violent/ ethically bankrupt behavior in the past.
For example, he was accused of pulling a gun on a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent – and threatening to kill him. He has also been been accused of using his influence to target a Columbia, S.C. man whose only crime was being married to a woman with whom Johnson was allegedly having an affair.
FITS first reported on the gun/ murder threat allegations involving Johnson in this story, which was related to the S.C. Supreme Court’s public sanctioning of his wife, local attorney Kana Rahman-Johnson.
We’ve also written extensively about the alleged affair and the lengths to which Johnson went to make life miserable for the husband of his alleged lover.
So … why hasn’t Johnson ever been held accountable for any of this? Easy: He’s got incredibly powerful friends, including Columbia, S.C. mayor Steve Benjamin and Richland County, S.C. sheriff Leon Lott. As long as those relationships are in place it would appear he pretty much has carte blanche to do as he pleases …

We have a system in America that has made certain leftwing special intrest groups think they are entitled to do anything they want, and get away with it…
Some liberals, like Obama, Target Conservatives, and intimdate (NBP) non-Obama voters…others feel they can do as they please w/ any woman…
The Stupid and corrupt let them get away w/ it..and FITS and his followers (the patronizing Liberal-tarians and liberals) are as guilty in their in-action, or non-outrage, as the Perverts and sickos perpetuating the crimes…

Damn, son! That’s a long ass list!
Republican, Democrat, doesn’t matter in the long run. Creepers are creepers. Politicians are more prone to be creepers due to the shitty nature of politicians. Getting T to understand that would take a miracle, though.
Isn’t it, though, and it even left out the Herman Cain allegations! You’re right, party doesn’t matter here. Unfortunately, T would like to think that it does.
Lol!
OK, I see your point and very well played sir, but in all honesty how long have you been working on that list? There is no way you just wrote and cited all of that in the less than 15 minutes between posts from T to yours. Admit it, you have been holding onto that until the opportune moment. It was very good and impressive, but I agree with what Smirks wrote. It doesn’t matter what party you are in, scum is scum. I wonder what the list would look like if someone took the same amount of time to look up all the democratic “leaders'” accusations and allegations (not to mention arrests and guilty verdicts) as well. I guess since I have no interest in doing it, and Big T/GrandTango is only a blabbering idiot without any real proof ever of anything we will never know.
It came from the website Bad Republicans: http://www.badrepublicans.com/republican-hobbies.html
Like I said, I Googled “Republican sex charges” and the site came up – I just used the list they already compiled. Try it yourself.
Yup. That definitely was a long list. Too bad you didn’t realize that Grand Tango (and his previous incarnation Big T) is a totally fictitious poster used by Fartin’ Will Folks to jimmy up anger, conflict, and comments on his site.
….Grand Tango (and his previous incarnation Big T) is a totally fictitious poster…
Cuz NOBODY could be THAT much of a dumb@$$!!!
Unless I overlooked them, I think it missed Susan Smith’s molesting GOP and gopvangelical activist father, as well as Young Republican activist and mass murder of young women, Ted Bundy.
He’s got that creepy Herman Cain smile.

He’s got those creepy Herman Munster eyes.

Johnson’s most powerful political friend is Jean Toal. She alone controls attorney discipline in SC. Her corruption there is legendary. She now “owns” him like she does some lawyer- legislators by hiding their unethical actions. Same old. Nothing will happen to Johnson.
This shows how clueless you are. Jean Toal can’t stand DJ. She talks sh*t about him at every judicial conference when he stood up to her in a kerfuffle involving a true toady of the Chief, Clifton Newman.
For some reason, or as a favor to somebody else, she did NOTHING to Johnson over his divorce debacle and his wife got a public reprimand. There was a lot there. Toal’s public arguments with Johnson may be just for show like her sometimes “arguments” with Harpo and Cam Lewis are. Thanks for the imput, though. This may get more interesting as it progresses.
This statement keeps getting posted around here about Dan Johnson and Jean Toal. They are not friends. They do not get along. They talk shit about each other and Johnson refuses to follow her administrative orders. They are both awful but cronies they are not.

GrandTango you are so correct and it effects the protocol (none) in all Fed, State, local government agencies. This a big big problem. When the person in charge says I can’t fire them.
Look at the leftwing Kooks who posted below. It looks like they are too un-intelligent to figure out: the examples they are using consist of PUNISHED Republicans, IF the charges are accurate in the first place…
They MAKE my point about how the Obamas of the world GET AWAY WITH IT…and then go around demanding you vote for REVENGE and hate…even though the left is not held accountable.
We have two Americas…..that lets liberals walk free…
you mean the ones above getting the up votes don’t ya?

No different than all of SC’s judges and their many lawyer friends. The law means nothing to these tyrants. You have to band together and rise up against them if you want equal punishment for them under the law. Otherwise, the good old boy system stays alive. And they all just continue on with breaking the law and criminal statutes.

When is Columbia going to learn? You cannot continue to put incompetent african-americans into all of these leadership positions in city and local government. They just simply can’t get out of their own way. Self-destruction time and time again.
Because incompetent African Americans are worse than incompetent people of any other race? Oh, ok then.
No, just blacks prove time and time again that they aren’t fit to be in leadership positions. In this country, we bend over backwards to make sure they get positions where they aren’t the most qualified and they fail or do something stupid the majority of the time.
It’s time to forget the color of skin and hire the most competent person and say goodbye to political correctness. PC has proved to be a failed policy too and hasn’t done anything to advance any race. It just spotlights issues like this guy has brought on himself.
The Asians, India-Indians, Cubans and Mexicans are doing just fine, thank you.
Interesting, especially since the voters of Richland and Kershaw Counties “hired” this guy.

Circuit Finds FBI Informant Issued ‘True Threat’ Against Judges
June 24, 2013
A divided federal appeals court Friday upheld the conviction of a
blogger for threatening three judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Seventh Circuit.
Two Second Circuit judges said the evidence
at trial was sufficient to prove that Harold Turner committed a “true
threat” of violence when he issued a blog post saying that Seventh
Circuit Judges Frank Easterbrook, William Bauer and Richard Posner
deserved to die when they upheld a Chicago gun ban, finding the Second
Amendment does not apply to the states.
Second Circuit Judge Debra Ann Livingston (See Profile) and Eastern District Judge Brian Cogan (See Profile),
sitting by designation, said the evidence at Turner’s trial in Brooklyn
federal court was “more than sufficient” to meet each of the elements
for threatening a federal judge under 18 U.S.C. §115(a)(1)(B) and that
“Turner’s conduct was unprotected by the First Amendment.”
Judge Rosemary Pooler (See Profile) dissented in United States v. Turner, 11-196-cr, saying “as a matter of law” Turner’s speech was not a “true threat” under the statute and the First Amendment.
Turner began running the Hal Turner Show on a website in 2000 that was
popular with groups such as the Klu Klux Klan and Aryan Nations. Between
2003 and 2007, he also helped the FBI by providing information on
extremists who visited his web site and proposed acts of violence. The
FBI dropped him in 2007 after he was admonished for his own violent
speech on the website and his agent handler came to believe there were
“serious control problems” with Turner, according to the circuit’s
opinion.
Turner published a blog post on June 2, 2009 following the Seventh Circuit ‘s decision in National Rifle Association of America v. Chicago, 567 F.3d 856 (7th Cir. 2009).
“Let me be the first to say this plainly: These judges deserve to be
killed. Their blood will replenish the tree of liberty. A small price to
assure freedom for millions,” he wrote.
Turner then referred to
the murders of U.S. District Judge Joan Lefkow’s husband and mother in
the judge’s Chicago home in 2005, connecting it to Lefkow’s role in a
case involving white supremacist Mathew Hale and his organization “World
Church of the Creator.”
Lefkow had ruled against Hale in a 2002
trademark infringement case, finding that his church infringed on a
trademark belonging to another group. In 2003, Hale was arrested for
plotting to kill Lefkow. In 2005, Hale was convicted of soliciting
Lefkow’s murder, and he was sentenced to 40 years in prison. On
June 3, 2009, Turner posted photos of the three Seventh Circuit judges,
the room numbers of their chambers at the Everett McKinley Dirksen U.S.
Courthouse, photos of the courthouse and a map that indicated the
location of “Anti-truck bomb barriers.”

Surprise, surprise, surprise… This guy is a train wreck. It blows my mind that he gets away with murder, well, not exactly but close, and there is no investigation, no nothing. I know he has friends in higher places but enough is enough. Hopefully Will/FITS exposing this crap will get someone’s attention. I’m not holding my breath…
All of this being said, if you would like to hang-out with this fine man, go to World of Beer. He’s there on a regular basis.
