Troubled Capitol Police Withholding Information About Harry Reid’s Injuries
Breitbart ^ | April 6, 2015 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 04/06/2015 11:13:34 AM PDT by don-o

The leadership of the troubled, 1,800 person Capitol Police force is withholding information about the circumstances surrounding Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) gruesome New Year’s Day injuries.

Breitbart News poked holes in Reid’s story that the injuries resulted from a home exercise accident that occurred when the exercise band that he attached to the shower door in his bathroom “broke and spun me around and I crashed into these cabinets and injured my eye,” as he claimed.

Breitbart News has also reported that virtually all of the information concerning the events surrounding the New Year’s Day injury and Reid’s subsequent hospital treatment that day has originated from Reid’s office. It insists the senator’s Capitol Police security detail was with him at his Henderson, Nevada home when the injuries occurred on New Year’s Day and transported him from his home to St. Rose Dominican Hospital in Henderson for treatment.

Breitbart News has repeatedly asked the Capitol Police to verify this claim, and to provide a copy of the incident report filed by the security detail describing the events of that day. Breitbart News has also requested the Capitol Hill Police specifically detail the date and time of day the incident took place in Reid’s home, and the date and time of day Reid’s security detail transported him from his home to St. Rose Dominican Hospital.

Despite sending numerous phone and email requests for this information to the Capitol Police over the last several days, no such information has been provided.

On Friday, Breitbart News spoke on the phone with Capitol Police Public Information Officer Kim Schneider, who promised to provide that information to us shortly.

As of Monday, we have received no further response and have been provided with none of the requested information.

If such grievous injuries were cause by faulty exercise equipment, wouldn’t it be all over the news that the brand and model of said equipment was being recalled because of safety issues? And wouldn’t there be a huge lawsuit pending?

lies. all lies.

oops. Who would try to secure anything by attaching it to a glass shower door? Sounds like B.S. Maybe he should play with a electric toaster while he is taking a bath.

It’s starting to make sense now.

He was using resistance training that included elastic bands while running on the treadmill that was located in the bathroom next to some cabinets. The elastic ban came loose witch snagged a soap dish on its way to harries face while he was still running. After being hit in the face with the soap dish and elastic band, he stumbled and fell face first onto the treadmill handrail while the treadmill was still cycling at 12 MPH. The double blow to the face caused hime to fall face first onto the still moving treadmill. Then he was spit out the back of the treadmill after tumbling once. This sent him face first into the wall of cabinets behind the treadmill. After hitting the wall of cabinets with his face, a bowling ball rolled out of the top shelf of the cabinets and also hit Harry in the face.

This explains why Harry Reid was found with his treadmill, in the bathroom, unconcious, next to a bowling ball. The gin next to him was for the bath he was planning to take following the extreme workout. It obviously spilled during the accident as it was empty when they found him.

” I think someone kicked this guy’s *ss.”

Then we owe “someone” a debt of gratitude.

Where the hell is the MSM in all of this??????

Every time the old bastard Reid launched an attack on a Republican they made sure his attack was covered by all and got out to the public.

Seems they would be covering how "their boy" got his ass kicked.

In the time warp he lives in,, he’s still falling off the treadmill. He may break a bone or two when he hits the ground. Probably won’t cause an injury to his EYE.

“1,800 officers in the Capitol Police??? The whole City of Atlanta has 2,000 officers.”

Yeah, but there are a heck of a lot more crooks and thugs in Congress than all of Atlanta.

The Cap Police actually have a pretty big jurisdiction in DC, particularly in the neighborhoods East of the Capital.

It kept getting expanded in the 1990s every time a Congressional staffer got mugged. Just about literally block by block by block.

The DC gvt and cops accepted it because several Congressmen (Republicans) threatened to exercise a little-known, never-used loophole that allowed them to grant weapons permits to staff.
