Harry Reid says: “I believe in ensuring all facts come to light.”
However, two years after $1.1 million was paid directly to Reid for the sale of land which he no longer personally owned, he announced he was amending his ethics reports to Congress… to more fully account for the Las Vegas land deal, which was reported last week in a story by the AP. [After initially refusing to discuss the matter - Reid reportedly hung up on the AP reporter when asked about it - he has since offered to amend his financial disclosures link]
Reid labeled the AP story as the “latest attempt” by Republicans to affect the election. AP reported last week that it learned of the land deal from a former Reid adviser who had concerns about the way the deal was reported to Congress. Link
Interestingly enough, according to a report from Nathan Burchfiel, “Since the story broke, the Washington Post has mentioned it three times: once in story about the scandal on Oct. 12 and in an unrelated article and an editorial on Oct. 13. The New York Times has mentioned the scandal once in an article on Oct. 12.
During the same time period, the papers have mentioned Foley 37 and 28 times, respectively.

Just more Liberal/Democrat hypocrisy rising above the dung....P.H.D.
Did Pelosi know about this? She too must go!
Shades of macaca!
Hey everyone, this link needs posting, but I'm not much of a poster.

It gives the background of now jailbird Erin Kenny, the commissioner endorsed by Reid to run for lt. Gov. in 2002. She and Dario Herrera (another jailbird commissioner, Reid had him run for congress), both voted on Reid's land deal for rezoning. This is all in the 2002 timeframe.
What it looks like is either Reid bribed Kenny and Herrera with money, or bribed them with elevated political positions, to vote for his rezone.
REID MUST GO!
OMG! That's an outrageous statement.
I just detest how all Republican African Americans are portrayed as Uncle Toms. Disgusting.
See you tomorrow.
Thanks.
Did Reid get any tax documents when he sold/transferred the land? How did he do his taxes for that year.
Reid is DISGUSTING!!
"Did Reid get any tax documents when he sold/transferred the land? How did he do his taxes for that year."
I don't think he reported anything, but I'm not sure. But that ties him into a lie, doesn't it.
I wonder if he made his '04 tax filing public.
He's gotten away with it so long (clear back to his tenure on the Nevada Gaming Commission) that he's become careless and smug.
Meanwhile, the FBI is going to be questioning every stinking page that has been through the program for the last 14 years.
As far as I'm concerned this is the worst kind of corruption a government official can engage in. Not only are they immune to the rotten law they wrote that applies to the rest of us , but they profit from it! They are thereby encouraged to make even worse laws in the future for the same evil reasons. It's absolute poison to the functioning of a nation and the perpetrators should be nailed HARD against the wall! It's equal to treason!
I had the sound down at the time and missed most of that segment... what happened that got Beckel and Sean really going at it? (I think Alan got in the fray as well)...looked really heated.
