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.

Probably figured reid isn’t worth spending time in jail for.
? Is older brother Larry left-handed? Or perhaps he kicked Harry a few times when he was facedown on the floor, guessing from the bruises and marks Harry was provided during the experience.
Thank you for the excellent explanation..........surprised that wasn’t his story all along. lol
Perhaps it also offers a hint as to why the Boehners and McConnells are so pusillanimous in their official activities.
He should have called Mrs. Clinton. She could have gotten the Fort Marcy Park Police to take jurisdiction.
Nailed it!
So why would the police be involved? If it was just an accident I could understand calling an ambulance.
Did they call the police to arrest the exercise equipment for assault or what?
The article is curiously silent about the authority of the Capitol Board? It says it is the supervisory authority, but then talks about its frustrations with Chief Dine. Does it or does it not have the authority to compel activities by the Chief or to remove him from office?
Rube Goldberg was piker compared to your scenario. The only thing needed to complete it was a mouse, some string, and a pair of scissors.
Like they would admit that the 12 yr old boy he was trying to have his way with beat him up.
:-)
Hmmm... A Capitol Police beanbag round to the eye? (guessing, of course...)
We sure do have a secretive government these days.
.Humph. The old commie was probably as drunk as a skunk and fell over.
Good question is WHY do the feds cover for illegalities by gub mint officials.
Carters kids smoking cannibus?
Bill doing coke?
JFK and his hookers?
Etc?
Larry kicking Harry’s ass?
Why do they cover for em?
I still think he got a BB gun for Christmas.
Lessee—Reid gets so injured he night lose an eye—and the Capitol Police transport him to a local hospital?
Why did they not call an ambulance and have paramedics look at Reid and assess the injuries?
Why are Capitol Police providing security in Nevada?
Thank God Harry was not in line to be POTUS. He was not the President Pro Tempore that was Patrick Leahy now its Orrin Hatch. All losers.
