The Senates top Democrat was more deeply involved than previously known in an effort to secure U.S. visas for Chinese investors in a Las Vegas casino despite the concerns of career federal officials, according to an inspector general report released on Tuesday.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) and his staff received weekly updates from top officials at U.S. Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS) regarding the status of visas for investors in the SLS Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, the report reveals.
Executives at the casinos parent company, a client of Reids son Rory, donated thousands of dollars to Reids campaign after he helped speed consideration of its applications for visas for its Chinese investors.
That expedited consideration came despite warnings from career USCIS officials that applicants had forged paperwork, tried to conceal the sources of their investment, and, in one case, had ties to a child pornography business.

I wonder if this is connected to Harry’s recent tune-up.
Corruption is the cornerstone of the Left. Blatant. Unabashed. Corruption.
There isn’t a Prison BIG enough for all the corrupt criminal Democrats!
He’s come so far from the old days of collecting paper bags of cash while an employee of the State of Nevada.
On the other hand he hasn’t really changed at all.
More corruption in the DemocRAT party ... Harry Reid and Diane Feinstein.
Every wonder how Harry went from Trailer Park Central in Searchlight to one of the rich in DC? Mob connections. And Feinstein’s husband’s Company raked in almost a billion with a California High Speed Rail contract.
Reid + Feinstein = only two .... how many more are out there?
Good, hope he gets back on the treadmill soon.......
remind me again why gov. bob mcdonnell and wife are headed to jail.
The Royals are not amused!
Ping - Harry Reid and China
Life imitates art. This scenario was a subplot in Season 2 of Netfix’s “House of Cards”.
“I fell off my exercise bike.”
Thanks for the heads-up....and if that little runt Reid is involved, the conniving Clintons are involved.
REFERENCE Circa 2012, Sen Charles Grassley (Repub-Iowa) exposed the DHS-USCIS visa program--Sen Grassley said ICE identified key vulnerabilities in EB-5 visas:
1) Export of sensitive technology/economic espionage.
2) Use by foreign government agents/espionage.
3) Use by terrorists.
4) Investment fraud by regional center.
5) Investment fraud by investors.
6) Fraud conspiracies by investors and regional center.
7) Illicit finance/money laundering.

There's also Reid's connection to the infamous "Clinton Global Initiative" .....
PUT ON YOUR TINFOIL HATS TO CONNECT THE DOTS:
(1) Harry Reid's son Rory is in business w/ the Chi/Coms on a multi-billion dollar solar energy project; Cliven Bundy and his land are standing in the way.
(2) Reports say Bill Clinton recently went to China to panhandle for his tax-exempt "Clinton Global Initiative" foundation.
(3) The "Clinton Global Initiative" (NOT KNOWN for giving out US grants)---gave Harry Reid's granddaughter a grant for her Brooklyn theatre (what is the Brooklyn theatre's connection to "global initiatives?")
(4) A Nevada energy company also gave Reid's granddaughter's theatre group a grant.
================================================
"Money laundering" comes to mind. Could the Chinese be financing the Reid's solar project through donations to the Clinton Foundations....which is then laundered to Reid's granddaughter?
================================================
REFERENCE----HARRY REID IS LIVID THAT HIS GRAND-DAUGHTER HAS BEEN OUTED AS A RECIPIENT OF LAUNDERED CAMPAIGN CASH---Reid lashed out at reporters, saying, My granddaughter has been the target of harassing phone calls, strangers tracking her down, knocking on her door and negative, unwanted attention on the Internet. This has gone too far and it needs to stop now, Reid said. I deeply regret any role I had in creating this situation but now, as a grandparent, I say enough is enough.
============================================
Besides the "jewelry company" financed by her grandfather, Ryan Elisabeth Reid runs the Sprat Theater Company, a small theater in Brooklyn, which is also coming under scrutiny. According to Sprats Theatre Company Web site, it has received grants/contributions from:
<><> the Clinton Global Initiative (theatre connection to Clinton's global do-goodism?),
<><> two major Las Vegas foundations: Caesars Foundation, and the NV Energy Foundation.
NOTE NV Energy Foundation---is a non-profit division of NV Energy (a public utility). The NV Energy utility is a subsidiary of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company which took over in 2013....and is now owned by a Warren Buffet unit.
BTW, here's Harry w/ his grand-daughter....the one who got $31,000 in laundered campaign funds for her "jewelry company" and grants from Clinton and Nevada energy foundations.
Reid and granddaughter Ryan Elisabeth Reid.
