Spencer

James Spencer has had an on-going case with the corrupt, “good ol’ boy” system in Columbia, South Carolina for more than a decade. Even his own mother was kidnapped by authorities and hidden away from him with the ransom payment being that he back off of his civil suit and criminal claims. She later died under cloud of government malfeasance.

Scrambling for cover now is federal judge Bryan Harwell, who is about to be exposed in court. Here a court-watcher gives his views.

A Federal Judge’s Desperate Move Implicating Senator Lindsey Graham

Documentation recently discovered by plaintiffs in the notorious Southern Holdings case demonstrates why the federal district judge in that case, the (semi) Honorable R. Bryan Harwell, has consistently ruled against the plaintiffs. In one area involving allegations of judicial ethical misconduct, plaintiffs in the Southern Holdings case presented to the court certified evidence proving that while Judge Harwell presided over the Southern Holdings case, his stepmother’s consulting firm received for her clients over one hundred million dollars of unbid contracts involving highway and airport construction from Horry County (South Carolina), a key defendant in the Southern Holdings case.

In another area concerning the applicability of South Carolina State law in cases tried in South Carolina, plaintiffs in the Southern Holdings case provided the court with case-defining information that Judge Harwell did not permit the proper law to be applied in determining whether or not a legal settlement existed in that case. Particularly, SC law states that when two or more plaintiffs are represented by one lawyer, then there must be a written document of informed consent signed by all such plaintiffs indicating their agreement with the terms and payouts of an aggregate settlement. The Southern Holdings case clearly qualified for this treatment (Judge John R. Rakowsky was counsel for multiple plaintiffs), but no written agreement of informed consent ever existed in the Southern Holdings case. When confronted by this case defining information, Harwell did not seem to be interested in applying the law when doing so would support the position of plaintiffs in the case against him that there was no legal settlement in that case. And plaintiffs say that, as a co-defendant, Harwell is clearly complicit in a conspiracy against the plaintiffs that manifestly involves every officer of the court involved in that case. And when one adds to that Harwell’s recently demonstrated loss of command of a wide range facts of the case, then Harwell’s position in the Southern Holdings case could easily be characterized as desperate.

As if to somehow make a desperate move to deal with the desperate situation, Harwell has recently stated on the court record that Southern Holdings plaintiffs have claimed that Senator Lindsay Graham is involved in a criminal cover-up regarding the Southern Holdings case and the (subpoenaed and certified by the FBI as accurate although illegally edited FBI-NCIC) reports that the FBI sent through Senator Lindsay Graham to be used in the Federal District Court. This is a desperate move because Harwell knows very well that this allegation is not true. He appears to be somehow attempting to involve Senator Graham in the Southern Holdings case in hopes that Graham will (a) believe the unfounded allegation and (b) throw Harwell some sort of “life jacket” that will enable Harwell to extricate himself from the Southern Holdings case with at least some semblance of honor left. If Graham does this, then the Southern Holdings case will be seen in the future as a public corruption case for the ages, a case where the good ole’ boy network trumps everything else—including overwhelmingly strong evidence and the word of the law circumvented by the Federal District Court Judge, SLED, the FBI and if Senator Graham allows himself to be used as the scapegoat, the office of a United States Senator.
