Show me Harry Reid’s tax returns (How did he get so rich?)
Review Journal ^ | 5/11/19 | Wayne Allyn Root

**SNIP**

Trump made his money in the private sector. That’s none of my business. Trump took huge tax deductions. Who cares? They were legal. If they weren’t legal, how come the IRS never had him prosecuted?

But if politicians get rich while in office, that’s something we all should investigate. How did Harry Reid retire as one of the richest senators on a salary of $175,000 - or less - per year? Can anyone explain how anyone gets rich on $175,000 per year, after taxes, after kids in college, after keeping homes in both Nevada and D.C.? I can’t make that math work.

I think I know the answer. I believe members of Congress trade on insider knowledge and steer government contracts, lobbying jobs and other leveraged perks to their spouses, children, parents and siblings. That’s the scam.

I don’t care about a billionaire president’s tax return. I want to see all the tax returns of Harry Reid and his entire family, from the year he was elected to Congress to the day he retired.

Then there are the Clintons. They are in a league of their own. The Clinton Foundation was an offshore extortion operation that would make the Gambino Crime Family blush.

I'm still wondering how Chelsea got into Stanford.

I’m pretty sure Harry got it by buying land at what was to become Interstate Exits that only he knew about.

Doesn’t add up.

There are also the Bidens, who have been making a fortune off of shady deals with China and the Ukraine...enforced by Joe Biden’s position as VP.

Don’t forget about Bernie. He has never had a private sector job in his whole miserable life. Lived in moms basement until he was mid thirties.

Reid was and is a byproduct of the Las Vegas Mafia.

Well it sure wasn’t as a result of her looks.
One very ugly byproduct of Hillary Clinton and Webb Hubbel.

Just check out all the Harry Reid’s land deals, he even sold land that he no longer owned for $1.1 mil. There is a long list of shady deals, he was listed as the most corrupt politician. Just type in Harry Reid land deals for a search

Dirty Harry had deals with china through his son. The Bundy standoff was over taking land and rights granted by congress away form Bundy so harry could have a solar farm.

CONgress passed laws allowing inside trading to transfer, launder, billions of dollars to CONgressmen.

That might be one way. The other was that he got BLM land turned over for development and then his Mormon buddy who developed that land kicked back a per cent of each lot sold-to Harry Reed.

Las Vegas is about to become a city without water. Way over populated.
