Can any action taken against Reid because he accepted the illegal donations?

You would have to prove he knew they were illegal.

How do we know these were campaign ‘contributions’ or ‘donations’ and not a GIFT? Maybe further analysis of the meaning of these words is in order. /s

Fine him $50,000,000 and throw his ass in jail for a couple of years.

There needs to be SERIOUS repercussions for campaign violations and voter fraud. Otherwise it won’t stop.

It’s amazing how the politicians have it rigged so that it’s the donors responsibility and not the recipients responsibility to make sure the donation is legal and to the law.

Makes perfect sense right? The one entity receiving the donations has no obligation to make sure it’s to the law? While the investigators have to look into 1000’s of donors.

All over this country, the “green” democrats who are looking out only for the “little guy” and protecting the environment from “greedy businessmen” - are practically the personal property of every sleazebag developer.

The democrat party controls areas with a stranglehold on behalf of their favorite business and development interests. This is reality versus the bullcrap republicans fall for.

Reid made his money based on favorable zoning decisions. This is what they always do. When the little guy shows up to remind them they are changing a zoning scheme that was in the public interest, they practically toss him out on the pavement.

I’ve seen it many many times over.

How would the recipient (Reid in this case) know where the individual donors got their money from (Harvey Whittemore)?

I agree though that donors shouldn't be able to buy political influence by donating to campaigns whose money is largely at the disposal of the candidate/officeholder.

They should funnel campaign contributions through bonded third parties who keep individual donors' identity confidential from the public and the candidates.

Sorry, but this really won't hurt Harry Reid or the Dems; just like all the recent scandals won't hurt Obama.

1) Corrupt Democrats

2) Complicit/cowardly Republicans

3) Corrupt Media

4) Low-Information Voters

Need I say more?

Reid needs to be publically pressured to return all money plus interest. Return to whom, you ask? How about a worthwhile charity?

Hairy should have thought of that before he pushed through that turd called the “Disclose Act”

How would Harvey benefit from his "generosity" if Harry didn't know where the individual donors got their money from?

There are two nations within our borders. There is the United States of America. They have a Constitution. Then, there is Democratland. The citizens of Democratland are out to loot the government treasuries. Which one is going to win?
