Crooks protecting fellow crooks! Nothing new here, but the added sunshine and exposure IS appreciated greatly, Mr Bazzle! I have long wondered the real reason that Trumpstein cannot keep his damn nose out of our state’s politics; whether promoting Nikki Haley to UN Ambassador and making Henry McMaster Governor, or endorsing McMaster for Governor so that we were stuck with him for ten years, or endorsing warmonger chickenhawk Lindsey Graham for another long six years as our US Senator. Thankfully, God or fate intervened and took Lindsey off the ballot, but Trumpstein wasn’t through meddling in our politics. He conspired with McMaster to put Graham’s “Little Sister” in our Senate seat, and shortly afterward, to stick us with her for a full six year term. Unfortunately, South Carolina has a lot of Trumptards, sheep, and clapping seals, who will do whatever Trumpstein tells them to do.
Personally, I think Annie Andrews will make a horrible Senator, but I would rather see her get it than “Little Sister”, who Trump wants to ram up our butts, so badly. We need to vote against any and all Trump puppets like “Little Sister” and for anyone who will obstruct Trump’s many nefarious agendas, including his latest perpetual war for Israel, at any cost.
I was looking forward to Pascoe as AG. I really hope the “whys” of him being shut out get more closely examined.
Regardless of party, this is exactly why all registered SC voters should elect Richard Hricik Attorney General. We need checks and balances in government, when all high level offices held by one hyper partisan ilk that is where corruption flourishes. Hricik is a very capable jurist and is taking no campaign money, that’s right none, so he’s beholden to no one but the voters.
May want to give Tiffany Boozer a look for State Comptroller, an actual accountant, that would be refreshing. The Treasurer and Comptroller’s offices numbers have jived for years.
No thanks, why should we elect an unqualified ambulance chaser to be be the states top prosecutor or an online educated government bureaucrat for comptrolller
If Lindsey was setting up a bribe for himself, he wouldn’t be telling his political consultants about it. He may have had tremendously bad neocon political positions, but he was not stupid. If the crossover consultants assisting Stumbo were trying to also dissuade him from inquiring into Lindsey, it would be for generic loyalty reasons, not because of knowledge of a bribe, and even that is just ad hoc assumption on the part of the writer. But since Stumbo wasn’t in office, its more likely that the topic never even came up. He cites no proof whatsoever. Also, from what I’ve heard and read, the 36k issue on Stumbo appears to be a matter of travel reimbursements and lagging paperwork, not skimming the till or some other willful malfeasance. Pascoe himself didn’t seem to regard it as worthy of any meaningful discussion, being knowledgeable of how those clerical things work.

“If Lindsey was setting up a bribe for himself, he wouldn’t be telling his political consultants about it.”
I get the feeling that Ladybugs didn’t have to take bribes himself, the cash never has to touch his hands at all.
Now, if that same cash happens to go to some other young college boy, and that young college boy happens to have been seen around Ladybugs at some kind of party, hotel, congressional building bathroom… Well, that isn’t his fault guys!

Keep digging, Mr Bazzle!

Russia said Ukraine killed lindsay because he was about to be indicted for fraud. Who knows?
I still think he was poisoned on that trip to Ukraine.
