#WeekInReview 🎥

A jam-packed episode following a massive week in South Carolina politics...

Excerpts from our extended interview with @AnnieAndrewsMD, a recap of @AGAlanWilson's big lead in the Palmetto State governor's race, not one but TWO major scandals impugning the legacy of @LindseyGraham and commentary on the #WriteInRalph movement - which could deny @DarlineGrahamSC (Nordone) a victory "Republicans" in Washington D.C. desperately need.

Also a heartwarming story from our @ErinParrott24 about an Upstate charity that changed her life - and the latest on the #ChuckWrightTapes from our chief photog and lead investigative reporter @RealAndyFancher.

Our show is LIVE!

Forty years is a long time to wait on answers...

Thanks to @JustinBamberg (the people's rep) for supporting yet another installment of #UnsolvedCarolinas, where we take cases that have fallen out of the headlines and bring them back in the hopes someone, somewhere saw something.

Our latest Unsolved comes from Fountain Inn, S.C., with our @IndyJenn_ sharing the story...

@IndyJenn_ Are you trying to make me cry? Again?

I am so incredibly proud of our @erinparrott24 and the work she put into this story. She is such a special person and I know her dad would be exceedingly proud of her.

Let There Be Mom is an incredible organization in @Greenville_SC and its annual fundraiser, "Dine Out for Mom," is Thursday. I don't know @erinparrott24 but I know other families who've been able to gain comfort from LTBM services.

‼️ LIES, LEADS & LOOSE ENDS: THE CHUCK WRIGHT TAPES

With former Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright now behind bars, @FITSNews has obtained nearly 14 hours of never-before-heard interviews conducted during the multi-agency probe that netted three federal convictions and zero state-level charges.

Secured through #FOIA, the case-file tapes feature then-Sheriff Wright himself, his unindicted Norco 10 supplier, then-county councilman David Britt and a host of sheriff's office personnel who offer wildly inconsistent accounts of "no-show" employee LB Watson.

"The whole thing is sickening," said a multi-decade sheriff's office veteran familiar with the case. "I'm ashamed to tell people I used to work there… The only thing I can say now is burn the whole house down."

🎧 Case-file playlist attached.

If you peddle fentanyl in South Carolina, we’re coming for you. The Devil in Disguise investigation, one of the largest fentanyl trafficking cases in South Carolina history, continues to deliver results.

Thank you to Assistant Attorney General Savanna Goude, SLED, the 13th Circuit Solicitor's Office, DHS, HSI, and all of our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners for taking another dangerous drug trafficker off our streets.

@fitsnews 🔴 #LIVE: Despite an impassioned plea for no jail time, arguing Lawson “LB” Watson could better repay restitution as a free man, the Chuck Wright co-defendant was sentenced to 16 months in federal prison.

🕊️ “Tell the truth or sell your soul.”

A principle I live by daily, though I can’t take credit for it. Like so many things in my professional life, I owe it to a self-described redneck I met while working for @wis10.

After a long fight with cancer, my dear friend Jeff Mattox passed away in a home where he and I had broken bread and talked for years about the horrors of our federal and state government, which he had a gift for stripping of all dignity with what he called, when being nice, “DUMB-ocracy.”

A master carpenter by trade and an anarchist by conviction, he spent years as a thorn in the side of both Kershaw County Council and its sheriff’s office, armed with an old laptop, a well-worn YouTube page and a cast of puppets, including a pissed off sheep named “Poke Chop.”

Having crossed paths with Jeffy during my own coverage of Kershaw County, I found in him someone who never hesitated to listen to my frustrations with WIS, push me to leave #MSM or shape the work I do at @FITSNews, an outlet he read as faithfully as he criticized…

… and I owe him more than I ever got around to telling him.

Rest assured, though, if heaven’s got a county council, Jeffy just became its most dangerous attendee.
