Breaking: Harry Reid Tied to MASSIVE Bribery Case (VIDEO)
Political Insider ^ | July 17, 2014 | Editor

Posted on 07/17/2014 12:25:45 PM PDT by lbryce

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.

it says... "The document(s) 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."

Too early to poo poo it.

I don’t want to sound anti-Mormon but we know what religion Reid and Hatch are. I’d be willing to bet money that the rest of them are also LDS. Mormon Mafia anyone? There’s crooks in every religion.

They won’t do anything. He will skate away scott free. Nothing will happen. The government attorneys will be told to drop the case by President LePunk.

Looked at the Review and found this:

Swallow and Shurtleff are both mormon.

Could Mormon church excommunicate Shurtleff, Swallow?

"A church disciplinary council is mandatory in cases of murder, incest, child abuse, apostasy, serious transgressions while holding a prominent church position and predatory behavior.

Serious transgressions, which the Handbook defines as "deliberate and major offense[s] against morality," include but are not limited to "attempted murder, forcible rape, sexual abuse, spouse abuse, intentional serious physical injury of others, adultery ... deliberate abandonment of family responsibilities, robbery, burglary, theft, embezzlement, sale of illegal drugs, fraud, perjury and false swearing."

Let’s hope the accused attorneys general can drop the dime on Reid.

What is the name of that West Coast Billionaire that wants the Keystone Pipeline shut down and that he would give a 100 million to the Democrats election campaign if done and he also wrangled a major meeting with several cabinet agencies and their Heads?

I just hope that this whole matter indelibly tarnishes the Mormon Church Leaders. They are complicit in this by reason of their steadfast support for Reid throughout his sorry-a$$ed “career.” These two clowns are both Mormons. Reid is a Mormon, Hatch is a Mormon. Let the Holy $hit rain down on the church and all of these men.

I think one thing on this is interesting. The other Senator mentioned was not Hatch but Mike Lee. Now we find out that it was really Hatch. Why was Lee originally identified? Was it to keep tea partiers off of the scent of the trail and protect Reid. no one has commented n this yet.?
