WASHINGTON - Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid collected a $1.1 million windfall on a Las Vegas land sale even though he hadn't personally owned the property for three years, property deeds show.

In the process, Reid did not disclose to Congress an earlier sale in which he transferred his land to a company created by a friend and took a financial stake in that company, according to records and interviews.
The Nevada Democrat's deal was engineered by Jay Brown, a longtime friend and former casino lawyer whose name surfaced in a major political bribery trial this summer and in other prior organized crime investigations. He's never been charged with wrongdoing except for a 1981 federal securities complaint that was settled out of court.

I've sent the AP title and link to all the cable news stations and requested it go under "Breaking News". We'll see if we have any takers?

I'm thinking Hillary (who lives by polls) has seen the polls indicating she doesn't have a chance at POTUS. Next best thing would be majority/minority leader of the Senate.

I'll be interested to see if it makes the top of the hour news on the radio.

Folks this is the AP, therefore it will be in 95% of the newspapers in this country!Don't bet on it. They may buy from AP, but that doesn't mean they'll run it.
But that's why we have the internet :)

He's a Democrat.
The LSM won't cover it, Fox will cover it until another car chase in LA comes along.

I agree. When the leader of the donk's in Congress is nailed like this, it is over for their party this election. Payback, it is a b**ch.
