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.

Poor Harry. Why do bad things happen to bad people?
Thanks for the ping. I heard about this on Rush, just a bit ago. This really IS great news.....for the GOP! :-)
Need to find a way to keep this story going. The MSM will try to bury it after one news cycle.
If Frist had any sack he would demand it in front of the Senate
"You aren't suggesting a mysterious car crash, mysterious plane crash or a mysterious suicide, are you?"
Let's just say that watching the leaves change color in Ft. Marcy Park isn't the best idea.
I'm not sure that it will.
Hannity... Hume... O'Reilly...
By tomorrow at the latest. Make the other Dems have to comment on it.
Agreed.
Then the story is:
Senate Minority Leader under investigation for possible tax fraud.
That plays well in America
If this gets any traction, the MSM will simply pile it into a "We need CHANGE in Washington" story, and of course that change will include the party in control of Congress.
Yup. It's something anyone can understand.
The other thing is not only is it complicated, it's boring (except to an accountant.)
At least in the Jefferson one you had the amusement of him stashing cash in his refrigerator. I doubt you'll have anything as interesting with Reid.
269 stories already carry Reid story through AP according to Google. Give it a week. It wll be thousands.
I demand that he step down immediately. I demand that Hillary demands that he step down immediately. I demand that every Democratic politician and every Media source demand that he step down immediately!!!
I bet the damned Dems are gnashing their teeth over this. First Kim and his "nuke test", then crooked Dingy Harry, and then, House GOPers demanding a new investigation on der Sandy Burglar's stuffed pants and socks.
Yeah but Harry looks like damaged goods right now if this is an ethics violation in the Senate. Can't have the Minority/Majority Leader with that type of stain.
Hillary is laughing her balls off right now....
