Reid amends disclosure reports

WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid filed 42 pages worth of amended financial disclosure reports Thursday for the years 2000 through 2006 to more fully account for a land deal in Las Vegas and to more accurately reflect the value of some other properties he owns.

Reid, D-Nev., had disclosed ownership of the Las Vegas property in his original disclosure reports, but he did not report that the title of the property had actually been transferred to a limited liability corporation called Patrick Lane LLC, which Reid had an ownership stake in. Reid valued the transaction in his amended 2001 report at between $250,001 and $500,000.

The sale was engineered by Jay Brown, a longtime friend and former casino lawyer, The Associated Press reported in 2006. The report led Reid to direct his staff to file amended disclosure forms. That effort was completed Thursday to clarify that Reid didn't personally own the property, but he was part of a limited liability corporation that did own it.

The limited liability corporation sold the property in 2004 in a transaction valued at between $1 million and $5 million.

This loser brings a new, sad meaning to the term “Dirty Harry.”

That corrupt scumbag does all this, and narry a peep from the MSM. Meanwhile, that same press is pimping the propaganda that Gov. Palin violated ethics rule for something SHE HASN’T EVEN DONE and that was PRE-APPROVED by the relevant people even if she had done it (spent legal defense fund money for legal fees related to bogus ethics charges).

Yeah, the MSM isn’s biased. Uh huh.

We get our hands caught in the cookie jar, we go to jail. Reid gets his hands in the cookie jar and he gets to amend his taxes for five years?

Who works for who in this man’s America? I know. Do you?

Was he expecting the high speed rail from LA to LV to run though any of his land?

He must REALLY be in trouble back home! As of late, he’s been doing a lot of damage control. He’s a pathetic little worm!

Too bad that the FBI won;’t give Harry the same treatment they gave Ted. He is up for election this time around - but, Harry’s a Dem....

I am wishing even though I lived in Vegas for a few years right along with you. I remember that little weasel, Reid.

THIS IS IMPORTANT FREEPERS

Jay Brown was partner with Oscar Goodman when they represented Lefty Rosenthal and the Kansas City Civella Crime family in the Tropican skim racket. Of course, the gaming commissioner at the time was Harry Reid, who claims someone tried to blow his car up at this time.

Why would Reid be partnered with a mafia lawyer now, considering his life was supposedly almost snuffed out by this group?

I have a ton of info on all this, just waiting a litle longer to put some of it together.

[Hold on until we get a viable person to unseat this jerk first.]

Yup, that’s what I’m doing. But if you know any intrepid souls, I could use some help.
