By FITSNews || A woman romantically linked to both S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford and another “high-ranking state official” could be on the verge of identifying herself, sources close to the woman tell FITS.
Sanford admitted to “crossing lines” with women other than his wife and lover last year during his now-infamous “soul mate” interview with the Associated Press, but he insisted that his mistress Maria Belen Chapur was the only woman with whom he had crossed “the ultimate line.”
Again, other than his wife we presume.
In his typical evasive fashion, though, Sanford never precisely said what he considered “the ultimate line” to be (clown mask?) …
There was considerable speculation at the time as to the identity of the governor’s “other” paramours, although none ever came forward or were positively identified.
“The governor definitely crossed ‘the ultimate line’ with this woman,” our sources say about the latest rumored lover, although they declined to provide her name or the name of the state official alleged to have been romantically linked to her.
All we’ve been told is that the allegations were likely to become public knowledge as part of a pending divorce, and that the woman was contemplating revealing her affairs with Sanford and the other man to “get ahead of the story.”
Meanwhile, the Sanford divorce is moving along smoothly (and quietly) due to what one insider called the “doctrine of mutually assured destruction.”
Asked whether or not that means there was an allegation that First Lady Jenny Sanford had also been unfaithful, our source said merely to “follow the money.”
Wowzas!
Stay tuned …
