Betcha dollars to donuts that probe refers to the four billion dollars Harry Reid "accidentally" gave to Mary Landrieu at the time Reid needed Democrat votes to pass Obamacare.
How $4.3 billion tax dollars to then-Sen Mary Landrieu (Dem-LA) was attached to the Obamacare bill, and how Obama and Harry Reid failed to catch and fix it, is yet another indictment of the Obamacare atrocity.
The payoff to Landrieu should be investigated as an indication of how EVERY Democrat came to vote for Obamacare.
BACKSTORY In the fall of 2009, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was trying to get the necessary 60 Dimocrat votes to pass the Affordable Care Act. Reid needed every Dim on board, which gave waffling senators a great deal of leverage.
In Landrieu's case, she connivingly saw that selling her aye vote could get her maybe $200 million federal dollars. Obama complied--- Reid chalked up another vote for Obamacare---but $4.3 went to Landrieu not the $200,000 she had bargained for.
<><> Was Mary the baglady for buying the Democratic straight party-line votes? <><>
THE LANDRIEU PAPER TRAIL IS HUGE Landrieu sold her aye vote for a "price." Landrieu was bought off in what Forbes Magazine dubbed "The 'Louisiana Purchase" that included a massive $4.3 Billion to Landrieu.
FORBES REPORTED the Democrats nailed Landrieus support for Obamacare w/ a greenback bribe. Landrieu, critics believe, pledged her vote in exchange for some $200 million more additional federal funds for Louisiana. Except that, due to a drafting error, the law ended up giving Louisiana $4.3 billion: more than twenty times the assigned amount.
