A Utah businessman is rocking both state and national politics after claiming Utah Attorney General John Swallow helped him broker a deal with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to make a federal investigation into his company quietly disappear, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Jeremy Johnson was allegedly told that the price would be $600,000, and claims to have made an initial payment of $250,000 when he was slapped with a federal lawsuit. Now he says he wants his money back.
The Salt Lake Tribune points out that Johnson has no way of knowing whether the funds actually made it to Reid, even if he did make a massive payment to Reids alleged intermediary.
The Salt Lake Tribune continues, explaining how the bribe supposedly came to be in 2010:

BTTT!
While I hope you are right, I won’t hold my breath. The stuff that Congress gets away with is incomprehensible. Ethics laws apply to every profession in America except politician.
How else can we explain the massive lobby industry and the phenomenal growth of wealth by congress critters?
Show me your leaders and I will show you the future. Ours is not too bright right now.
Again?

They are rats. They will walk.
File a complaint with senate ethic committee. If no one complains or send them information they have nothing to act upon.

Lucky for him he’s a Democrat and is allowed to do as he pleases without any media coverage or Congressional punishment.
LOL, yeah, no kidding.
I just love it when someone pulls the rock aside and the bugs scurry for cover...
I believe that's either "up in smoke" or "down in flames".
same end, just equine.
Been a long day. You’re right, down in flames would be my choice for the scumbag old geezer.
Gosh, I'm going to have to take shower. Typing the above made me as filthy as dingy.
Hairy blames the DC tourists for the bad smell, but all the stink is really coming from him.
Popcorn time...
He could do both, first down in flames...boom...then up in smoke.
Don’t you love happy endings?
Fox News reported 2 days back that the BLM hired a Utah Cowboy [=Rustler, IMHO ] and he was paid > $900,000 to invade, roundup, steal and transport the bulk of Bundys cattle to Utah to be sold at auction.
Fox News also reported that the BLM paid >$300,000 to a Utah auctioneer to auction off Bundys Cattle, in Utah.

So many names apply to very late stage senility patient Harry Reid, and his hired guns:
Reids Rustlers
Reids Cattle Rustlers
Feudal Lord Reids Raiders.
Feudal Lord Reid of the Bureau of Feudal Land Management wants to make Nevada his personal Fief!
Holder had his glory days with Fast and Furious and escaped with an Exec. Order from his Chicago Hood pal, Barry Soetoro.
Now Kill the last cows in the Country Reid wants his 15 minutes of Glory.
Will the cowardly doormat Republican Leadership in the US House even consider holding Reid accountable for the taxpayer-funded slaughter of Nevada Rancher Bundys cattle?
Neighboring Arizona US Senator Wacko Bird McCain has not yet thrown his full moral weight of approval to Senate Classmate Reid, but it could happen any day now.
Doesnt the ACLU, or PIETA have a beef with the taxpayer-paid slaughter of Rancher Bundys personal Cattle?
Or will Feudal Lord Reid and his hired Rustlers get bailed out by another Executive Order from the infamous pen of You Lie Obama?
Feudal Lord Reid and You Lie Obama, a dastardly duo on the Democrat dung heap of History!
MOOOOOOOOOOVE . FORWARD !
Reid supporter and former Reid minion, BLM Director Neil Kornze is nothing but a domestic terrorist. I repeat: what the BLM did up there at the Bundy ranch was domestic terrorism.
Reid, who has not yet been arrested for bribery and violating his oath of office, admits to conspiring against the civil rights of Cliven Bundy and his family, a federal felony:
"The senator said he spoke with Attorney General Eric Holder, FBI leaders and Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie. Reid said he understands theres a task force being set up to deal with Bundy, and Gillespie is involved as well."
There is no word on whether Senator Reid personally approved plans to murder the Bundy family by burning, sniper fire or with automatic weapons.
The Senator's office was unable to be reached for comment.
