Harry Reid’s victory may have been due to violation of federal campaign laws
Examiner ^ | November 7, 2010 | Marc Schenker

Harry Reid’s victory over Sharron Angle this past Tuesday may have had a great deal to do with the senator’s campaign breaking not only federal campaign law, but, just to make things worse, criminal law also. According to the Justice Department itself, as recently as this past Friday, it is currently looking over a complaint that Angle’s lawyer has filed, demanding that Reid be investigated for what appears to be coordination between his campaign and a corporation, Harrah’s casino in Las Vegas. The complaint is based on damning e-mails that were exchanged between executives at Harrah’s casino and a staffer working for the Reid campaign. If the allegations are proven true, it may confirm what some people suspected after Reid’s surprise, come-from-behind win (he was consistently down in the polls before last Tuesday’s voting). Namely, that Reid did a lot more than just get all his supporters to the polls in a magical, last-effort push.

Yup and the fact that it's daylight outside might be caused by the sun rising.

I would love to see him go down in scandal. It would be nice to see this exposed and brought to life, sadly it never seems to happen with the corrupt in the democratic party.

Democrats are 100% corrupt. 100%. There is nothing good about them. They must be stamped out and never allowed to attain power again. They are built 100% on lies.

Meanwhile, at the Justice Department, a staffer looks over the complaint:

“Hey, you guys ain’t gonna believe this (HAHAHAHAHAHA), but Angle (HAHAHAHAHA) wants us to investigate (HAHAHAHA) REID, oh jeez, I’m laughing so hard I have tears in my eyes, for illegal coordination between his campaign and Harrahs. (HAHAHAHA). Oh man, it doesn’t get any funnier than this”.

The bottom line is this: even if the allegations are true, they won't be sufficient cause to overturn the results of the election, no matter how fraudulent. The lesson here is the means are justified by the ends.

And the corruption will continue...

Emaile between Harrah’s and a staffer.

These guys are always smart enopugh to keep someone in between them and their criminal comspirators.

What difference does it make how he won. Nothing is going to be done about it except Harry will make a point of firing the staffer——maybe.

Will Republican leadership push it?? Don’t make me laugh.

We don't have a president—we have a Capo di Tutti Capi.

Hard to believe his roots are in Kenya and not Sicily.

I would trust the Cosa Nostra more. They only charge 20% and they are honest crooks.

The results of the “investigation” will read something along the lines of:

“Our investigators determined the existence of some scattered instances of irregularity in the Senatorial election in Nevada. However, the conclusion is that such irregularities did not carry sufficient significance as to affect the outcome of the election. No charges will be filed.”

IOW, “Yep, the Reid campaign cheated, but we’re not going to do anything about it and you can’t make us.”

They must be stamped out and never allowed to attain power again. They are built 100% on lies.

...and yet like Phoenix rising, they just never seem to run out of like minded followers. Surely that is a telling tale of...

There has to be more justice in this country than simply the Department of Justice. We have the Supreme Court. We have good, honorable, conservative lawyers. We have LAWS. Surely it is not up to the whims of one thuggish man.

A cheating Democrat acting as though the law doesn't apply to him?


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
