AP Exclusive: Reid got $1M in land sale

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.

"Now, wait a minute. There are a lot more senior dems who'd get the nod before she would...Byrd, Biden, Lautenberg, schumer."

Not if they want to stay alive.

Hillary has the votes to take over Reid's spot.

Why do think she's been giving away all of the PAC money she's raised to her fellow Senators?

She wanted Reid's spot and now she's going to get it.

The AP was just following orders.

The nightly news tonight will mention it briefly later in their broadcasts and not make much of it. At least for tonight.

Not if they want to stay alive.

You aren't suggesting a mysterious car crash, mysterious plane crash or a mysterious suicide, are you?
