Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is a shady operator. From changing the Senate rules which allowed him to increase the tax-raising power of the Senate Democratic majority, ties to shady lobbyists, and numerous scandals in Nevada, it is little wonder how a guy on a relatively modest public servant salary has become obscenely wealthy.
Now, Reid has been linked to a new massive bribery case that had two state attorneys general arrested already.
Utah prosecutors on Tuesday filed criminal charges against two former state attorneys general in a court filing that makes tantalizing references to a possible pay-to-play influence scheme involving U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Utah County District Attorney Sim Gill charged former Attorneys General John Swallow and Mark Shurtleff with numerous felony state crimes, including bribery, acceptance of illegal gifts, evidence tampering and a “pattern of unlawful activity.”
The charges were expected for months, and both men were taken into custody. Mr. Shurtleff served for many years as Utah’s top law enforcement official before retiring in 2013 and was succeeded by Mr. Swallow, who resigned in controversy after just a year. Both are Republicans.
“This is a sad day for Utah,” said Gov. Gary R. Herbert, who said that no matter what happens with the two men in court, it has become “a black eye for our state.”
Both Mr. Shurtleff and Mr. Swallow maintained their innocence, according to The Associated Press and other local news accounts.

“Breaking”?
Is that code for information kept on a small slice of the internet that few people will ever see?

Harry Reid’s name surfaces in Utah bribery case against two ex-attorneys general July 15, 2014
How is Reid tied to thus?
This scandal won’t touch him. No scandal can touch any of Obamas operators.
Can I help perp- walk him. Can I, huh, can I?!!
Insanity, brought on by Alzheimer’s, is a valid defense.
Obama pardon even if he is guilty.
Ping me when you get a reply. Unless they’ve got Reid on more than innuendo, this is just and Internet Headline.
I think the prez can only pardon if it is a federal offense. Is that what may be charged here?
Amen.
When Harry Reid, or any demonicrat politician for that matter, is finally indicted, tried, convicted, sentenced and hanged for giving aid and comfort to the enemy, he should be left hanging until he rots off the rope, so that people can parade past to piss on his bloated, maggot-infested corpse.
For the fun of it...maybe this is why harry is moving into a gated community. No access for the press like his hotel suite :)
If we could only be so lucky...
It was true in ‘98, but because he didn’t fit in with the “culture of corruption” story line, since he wasn’t Republican, the MSM ignored it.

While the charges are major news in Utah, it was the mention of two senators — Mr. Reid, Nevada Democrat, and Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, Utah Republican — that could reach Washington’s corridors of power.
The documents detail efforts by a federally indicted Utah businessman, Jeremy Johnson, to secure meetings with Mr. Reid and Mr. Hatch, where Mr. Johnson hoped to enlist their help in fighting off an investigation by the Federal Trade Commission.
He will be arrested in 24 business hours.
NOT much there from what little I saw,!!!
Journalists looking for publicity,.
I am disappointed!
