By 1980 Reid had been cleared of Agosto’s allegations by the Carter Justice Department (then also in the process of bringing about virtually no successful prosecutions in Billygate, Koreagate, ABSCAM, BCCI, or the investigation of cocaine use by Treasury Secretary Hamilton Jordan).

A little fact checking would help here Fedora.

ABSCAM sent several people to Club Fed including a US Senator from New Jersey.

IIRC, BCCI wasn't under investigation until well after Carter left office. (It hit around the same time as the S&L scandal.

Hamilton Jordan was never Treasury Secretary (he was Carter's Chief of Staff) and to my knowledge, the cocaine thing was never "under investigation." It was Washington gossip column stuff after Carter left office.

I'm not defending Carter or Dirty Harry, but facts are important things to get right.

A blast from the past, and the real reason for Reid's actions this week: blackmail.

Dirty Harry Reid: The Mafia's "Mr. Clean Face" on the Nevada Gaming Commission

Reid is so mobbed up that he's a walking, talking blackmail machine. Axlerod and Rhambo could order him to tar and feather himself and walk naked down Pennsylvania Ave and he would do so instantly.

Read Freeper Fedora's excellent investigative thread to understand this human slimeball, and why he is willing to be a tool: he has NO CHOICE.

Of course he’s a mob lawyer. He wouldn’t have had all that union support without the mob.

Steve Wynn, a casino developer who used profits from a 1970 deal involving Howard Hughes and Caesar’s Palace to purchase the Golden Nugget; described in a Scotland Yard report as a front man for New York’s Genovese Mafia family.

Interesting. Steve Wynn always struck me as a staunch Republican. He spoke some harsh words against obama during the 2012 election.
