I have a feeling that very soon the media is going to get tired of all of the government’s BS and start doing some actual journalism.

Not a day goes by that I don’t think there’s something seriously evil going on in DC and that corruption is so widespread as to be incurable.

Disappointed to hear Lee is involved in this probe.

Unless he's been thrown in to dilute the charges against Mr Cleanface the Democrat.

” Allegations against Reid may center on his financial and political relationship with online poker companies.

As for Lee, a House Special Investigative Committee report released Wednesday tied him and his campaign fundraising efforts to Swallow, who, according to the report, helped create a network of political committees meant to launder and hide hundreds of thousands of dollars of campaign contributions from the payday loan industry in which Swallow once worked.”

Smear. Government smear.

Military officers smeared.

Government opposition smeared.

Journalists who do not toe the line smeared.

Celebrities and actors who are not leftist smeared and blacklisted

Bakers who choose their first amendment right to honor their faith smeared.

Soon, your neighbor smeared.

Then, you.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Every agency of government is now politicized.

Have no fear that Holder’s DOJ won’t lay a hand on REid, but Lee is toast.

Lee is in here as a bargaining chip. He lost on a home purchase. I think that is endemic of the entire housing industry circa the mid 2000s. If he overstated his assets or income, he would be guilty of a crime of filing a false statement and that should be pretty direct to prove. I don’t know why it would take the government more than 7 days to figure that one out. Meanwhile, Reid is a crook, was, is and always will be. Nevada is what it is, gambing and prostitution, period. What do you think you get as a politician there, a minister?

This administration is recording everything, I mean EVERYTHING. Not to say they are looking at it but when someone becomes a person of interest, a name is typed, a button is pushed and every piece of information is filtered for ‘useful’ items. This must sure make it easy to silence a reporter, get a politician or judge to vote in a way that is out of character, etc.
Computers can filter ALL sites your computer as ever visited for one that might embarrass you. Cell phone and cameras can track your exact location to the meter and by the second for the last 10 years. Your location and communication devices can be crosschecked with other people of interest for ‘guilt by association’. EVERY check you have EVER written, even the ones the banks claim to have discarded, can be picked through by computer for ‘interesting’ purchases that might embarrass you or leave you (or a loved one) open to a threat of a felony charge. All at the fingertips of the wrong people within minutes of a search command.
I swear it is Beria's wet dream!

I was trying to read through this, going into each link that let to more links. This is all I could find.

In a February 2010 email recovered from Swallow’s crashed hard drive, which the committee obtained this month, Swallow asked then-Attorney General Mark Shurtleff: “can i [sic] introduce Mike Lee to Jeremy Johnson?” Shurtleff responded: “Sure.”

By June of that year, Johnson had apparently arranged for thousands of dollars of contributions to Lee’s campaign. In an email that month, Swallow notified Johnson that checks to the Lee campaign from four of Johnson’s associates — which the report said totaled $9,600 — had bounced. Swallow forwarded the exchange to the Lee campaign, a suggestion, the report said, that Swallow was coordinating his efforts with the candidate’s campaign.

The checks bounced, so did Lee actually get any campaign money? I did read yesterday that he bought a house, then sold it to someone, lost money on it....that was hard to follow.

Can’t help but think this is a set up because they are angry obamas losing the public. If we don’t stop o he will have republicans investigated for hate crimes because they read the bible.
