Senate Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid took an intense interest in pushing through visas for dozens of shady Asian investors for a Las Vegas casino represented by his son, Rory Reid, documents and reports show.
The investors, who were flagged for “suspicious financial activity,” had initially been denied visas by the Department of Homeland Security in a process that usually does not allow for appeals.
In a Dec. 5, 2012 email to officials at the Department of Homeland Security obtained by The Washington Times, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Legislative Affairs official Miguel Rodriguez wrote, “This one is going to be a major headache for us all because Sen. Reid’s office/staff is pushing hard and I just had a long yelling match on the phone.”

Prison for him.
Thank you voters of Nevada for sharing your crooked politicians with the rest of us.
I’m sure it was the typical case of inferred pressure. “Hi, this is senator hairy screeds office calling to check on the progress of (fill in the blank) and check on the status and remind you of the time frame we’re working under.” Typically, to allow for deny-ability, they use the subtle means. Soft coercsion if you will. Scumbag hairy.
It came out a few years ago that the way to Senator Reid was to write his son a check for a quarter million.
Rush doesn’t call reid, dingy harry for being upright and honest. reid is but a symptom though of the thorough corruption throughout congress, regrettably.
Crooked land deals with the mob in Vegas is how Harry become a millionaire.
You don’t think the mob still has its hooks in him?
We all know the answer.
Blame the Tea Party.
You don’t quit the mob...

As a Temple Mormon, Harry Reid is going to have to do a LOT to redeem himself from all these underworld associates he has chosen to surround himself with over the years.
“The Commissioner” long ago established his circle of associates, and he has never abandoned them.
Dirtiest politician in Washington. And yet, nobody will call him out on it.
In a rational political scene, he would have been indicted, convicted, and sentenced long ago. And in the process, excommunicated from the Mormon religion as well.
You cannot be a liberal Democrat and a practicing committed Mormon simultaneously.
In his defense, Harry Reid is too stupid to be ethical.
If you pay them enough you can:

And they even let you live.
One thing we all know about Dingy Harry, he is one crooked S.O.B.
Everything in this administration always leads to someone’s wallet.
The worst; he makes Tom Daschle look almost humble by comparison
From the article: “Initial attempts by Sen. Reid’s office to expedite the visa requests were denied on Dec. 17, 2012, prompting the majority leader to personally call USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas.”
The same Mayorkas now joining DHS in the #2 role, after Harry “the Feckless” Reid trashed the filibuster against presidential appointees?
OK, kids. Can you say, “Quid pro quo?”
Reid gangster self suffiency. The rest of us are dead people walking. The country is in fool looting mode everyone for himself.
