The Reid land scandal took another bizarre turn as the Minority Leader revealed that two additional “clerical errors” had caused him to file false ethics reports. Both of the “clerical errors” involved land transactions. One of which, Reid had failed to disclose ownership of for over 20 years.
Reid revealed the information as an afterthought to his announcement that he had agreed to repay his campaign for funds which were dispersed in violation of FEC regulations. Reid said the land transactions, as well as his failure to disclose, amounted to “two minor matters that were inadvertently left off my original disclosure forms.”
So far, Reid has characterized the FEC matter as a “clerical error” and both of the additional land transactions as “clerical errors” as well.
Reid has promised to “more fully disclose” details regarding the 2004 land scheme in which Reid received a payout of $1.1 million. The false ethics disclosures were not characterized as “clerical errors”, but instead were said to be a “GOP smear campaign”, even though AP reported last week that it learned of the land deal from a former Reid adviser who had concerns about how it was reported to Congress.

Outstanding post/thread. Thanks to you and all contributors. BTTT!
thanks. :)
Pubbies have let us down. They just seem to lack conviction and don't want to take the Dems head on.
Oh My God, Harry Reid's house of cards begins to fall.
If Pelosi, Kennedy, Clinton, Kerry and Obama knew about it THEY MUST GO...and if they didn't know they should have known and THEY MUST GO.
Hang the bastard before a trial, and simply claim "clerical error" for not providing a trial...
Semper Fi
I find it interesting that this information is just now beginning to surface. The AP interview with Reid was on Monda. The story didn't hit till 5:15 ET on AP and later on other sources. Plus, if you just scan through the article, like I normally would, you wouldn't have even noticed the little disclosure of the "clerical errors". That comment was made in passing, and was buried, deliberately (I can't prove that) by the AP.
Bullshit is right!
" do they think we are that stupid?"
Yep-----his supporters are since they continue to re-elect him!!
Heh. Actually, I haven't seen too much of Ms. Pelosi the past couple of weeks. Haven't missed her either.
What did they know, and when did they know it?
Yeah, heh, I'm real tore up about it.
What Reid is certain of is:
The land is in Nevada.
The land glows.
It is suitable for a strip mall because it wont need a lot of lights to find it in the dark.
It needs to be rezoned "commercial plutonium lite".

Worse than just letting us down. They are no longer working for us, the people who put them in those jobs -- they are working for their own personal empowerment and their own politics....and be damned with the people they are supposed to represent and work for....
Well now I guess with these standards Wesley Snipes can just say he made a few technical errors on his taxes and will correct it immediately.
The MSM will be all over this ...starting November 8, the day after the election.
Is Frist still in the Senate?
And, he has transferred all legal liability to an LLC. I wonder if that is a Nevada LLC. Surely there are records at the Nev Sec of State's Office. And, if they're on-line, then they're available for public viewing. If I get some time tomorrow, I'm going to have to go and dig a little bit. Never know what you can find. Heh.
Thanks for the ping!
Happy fishing...
