Breaking: Harry Reid Tied to MASSIVE Bribery Case (VIDEO)

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is a shady operator. From changing the Senate rules which allowed him to increase the tax-raising power of the Senate Democratic majority, ties to shady lobbyists, and numerous scandals in Nevada, it is little wonder how a guy on a relatively modest public servant salary has become obscenely wealthy.

Now, Reid has been linked to a new massive bribery case that had two state attorneys general arrested already.

Utah prosecutors on Tuesday filed criminal charges against two former state attorneys general in a court filing that makes tantalizing references to a possible pay-to-play influence scheme involving U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Utah County District Attorney Sim Gill charged former Attorneys General John Swallow and Mark Shurtleff with numerous felony state crimes, including bribery, acceptance of illegal gifts, evidence tampering and a “pattern of unlawful activity.”

The charges were expected for months, and both men were taken into custody. Mr. Shurtleff served for many years as Utah’s top law enforcement official before retiring in 2013 and was succeeded by Mr. Swallow, who resigned in controversy after just a year. Both are Republicans.

“This is a sad day for Utah,” said Gov. Gary R. Herbert, who said that no matter what happens with the two men in court, it has become “a black eye for our state.”

Both Mr. Shurtleff and Mr. Swallow maintained their innocence, according to The Associated Press and other local news accounts.

Elsie, like Ronald Reagan said: Life’s tough, and it’s tougher if you’re stupid!

I guess he was thinking of you when he made that statement. Were your parents first cousins? Were you dropped on your head as a child? Inquiring minds want to know, because mostly you make no sense to normal folks.

Were you dropped on your head as a child? Inquiring minds want to know, because mostly you make no sense to normal folks.

I usually understand the man.

When I don't...the references he is reaching for are probably too obscure for me to either know, or keep up with.

It's not that he was "dropped on his head" but more you may not know what he's talking about. I've seen more than few short quips that would drive to the heart of a matter, or reveal the holes in antagonists reasonings.

It can include past conversations here on FR, in light of whatever it is that is going on at a more present moment.

Mix in lots of exposure of some of the worst of the error and excess of Mormonism in days gone by, and there you go. A skeleton key which can unlock many doors.

[vette6387]

“It’s not that he was “dropped on his head” but more you may not know what he’s talking about.”

Or maybe that he himself doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The one think that you take away from reading his drivel is that he hates Mormons. Guess they may have excommunicated him.

[BlueDragon]

Or maybe that he himself doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

You just fairly well established that you rarely know what he is talking about.

The one [sic]think that you take away from reading his drivel is that he hates Mormons.

Me? No, there is often more to it than that, that I can "take away from" the things he may say...and it's not "Mormons" per se who are disliked, but Mormonism.

Guess they may have excommunicated him.

If he was ever there...I think he likely left on his own, as do many.

Regardless, the SLC Mormons (like --- the 'official' crew who tried to take over this forum a few years back) know what his handle is here.

When I told some door-to-door type bicycle Mormons that I already knew Mormonism was shot full of fraud, one of them asked me where I got the information -- I told them -- FreeRepublic.

He asked me right away, "are you Elsie?".

When I replied, "no", the guy then rattled off a few more names, but not my own handle here...

[vette6387]

So do I take it that you and “Elsie” are the anti-Mormon tag team here?
So you think that you can separate “Mormons” from “Mormonism?” That’s a neat trick. It’s like hating Communism but liking Communists, or the same deal with Muslims. It simply doesn’t wash. But I do understand hate, and “elsie” has it in spades. The fact the you “understand” each other is all I need to know.

[BlueDragon]

So do I take it that you and “Elsie” are the anti-Mormon tag team here?

You have gone from not understanding much, to acting as if you know everything.

I'm only an honorary flying Inman at best.

As yes, that is a deliberate misspelling of "Imman" which arose some years ago now, from one who hated Elsie and other critics of Mormonism.

So you think that you can separate “Mormons” from “Mormonism?”

Easily.

It simply doesn’t wash.

Perhaps not in your own limited universe...but in my own, it is not only possible, but can be done quite simply.

But if there is no separation between what one gives mental assent to, and what they otherwise are; Then we should "hate" or despise atheists? Oh, wait...you are borderline one of those?

Yet if you despise religiosity -- I do think I understand and can relate. I "hate" it too.

But I do understand hate, and “elsie” has it in spades. The fact the you “understand” each other is all I need to know.

Speaking of "hate". Can you not see what you just did?

Can you not hear yourself talk?

Look-- just because I called you on your own limited understandings and "hate", doesn't mean that you should double-down on those and continue in them.

[vette6387]

“Can you not hear yourself talk?”

Yeah, the problem is that I didn’t listen to myself and quit this idiotic “conversation” a couple of iterations ago.

I have better things to occupy my time than these “exchanges.”

[MHGinTN]

When you embarrass a Mormon by exposing what Mormonism is about, their usual reaction is to conflate the terms and whine ‘hate’. Victimhood is big with their ism don’tchaknow.

[BlueDragon]

Well, I guess the thread is really all about what Harry Reid is all about.

This "Mormonism" sidebar got things derailed, even though as it turns out, Reid doesn't appear to me to be faithful to "Mormon" values.

As someone pointed out...that seems to be ok with the crew in SLC, leaving it to appear they likely relish power more than what they otherwise say is "truth".

Besides, if high-up muckety-mucks within Mormonism were to disown the lying creep, it could make Mormonism look bad.

Meanwhile, there are more than a few genuine TeaParty type conservatives in the rural parts of Utah.

They are big-time Tea-offed at the likes of Reid, and some of their own so-called conservative Republicans too, oh you betcha'.

[BlueDragon]

Yeah, the problem is that I didn’t listen to myself and quit this idiotic “conversation” a couple of iterations ago.

No, the "problem" is you are blind to your own hypocrisy, and your own hatreds...then get your your pride up when anyone pulls your covers.

I have better things to occupy my time than these “exchanges.”

Then STFU and go LOOK IN A MIRROR!!!

The Reid/Clinton/Chinese connection

The Clintons bagged millions in kickbacks from the Red Chinese for Loral Space technology, paid for by American tax payers---and there's the 350M the Chinese government gave their "foundation" for "favors" Mr. Clinton performed for the Chinese (technology transfer), PLUS separate donations to Hillary---and you have quite a pile of illicit money.

WAIT A SEC There's also a Harry Reid connection to the tax-exempt "Clinton Global Initiative" foundation.

PUT ON YOUR TINFOIL HATS TO CONNECT THE DOTS:

(1) Harry Reid's son Rory is in business w/ the Chi/Coms on a multi-billion dollar solar energy project; Cliven Bundy and his land are standing in the way.

(2) Reports say Bill Clinton recently went to China to panhandle for his tax-exempt "Clinton Global Initiative" foundation.

(3) The "Clinton Global Initiative" (NOT KNOWN for giving out grants)---gave Harry Reid's granddaughter a grant for a Brooklyn, NY theatre she runs (what is a Brooklyn theatre's connection to "global initiatives?")

(4) A Nevada energy company also gave Reid's granddaughter's theatre group a grant.

================================================

"Money laundering" comes to mind. Could the Chinese be financing the Reid's solar project through donations to the Clinton Foundations....which is then laundered to Reid's granddaughter?

================================================

REFERENCE----HARRY REID IS LIVID THAT HIS GRAND-DAUGHTER HAS BEEN OUTED AS A RECIPIENT OF LAUNDERED CAMPAIGN CASH---Reid lashed out at reporters, saying, “My granddaughter has been the target of harassing phone calls, strangers tracking her down, knocking on her door and negative, unwanted attention on the Internet.” “This has gone too far and it needs to stop now,” Reid said. “I deeply regret any role I had in creating this situation but now, as a grandparent, I say enough is enough.”

============================================

Besides the "jewelry company" financed by her grandfather, Ryan Elisabeth Reid runs the Sprat Theater Company, a small theater in Brooklyn, which is also coming under scrutiny. According to Sprat’s Theatre Company Web site, it has received grants/contributions from:

<><> the Clinton Global Initiative (connected to global terrorism via Muslim Brotherhood employee),
<><> two major Las Vegas foundations:
Caesar’s Foundation, and the NV Energy Foundation.

NOTE NV Energy Foundation---is a non-profit division of NV Energy (a public utility). The NV Energy utility is a subsidiary of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company which took over in 2013....and is now owned by a Warren Buffet unit.

[Elsie]

Ah; so you DO understand me!

[Elsie]

The one think that you take away from reading his drivel is that he hates Mormons.

Iff'n yall gots just one think - best make it a good one.

[Elsie]

He asked me right away, "are you Elsie?".

Aw...  shucks...

 

[Elsie]

But I do understand hate, and “elsie” has it in spades.

Golly!

Was it something I said?

Questions put to Joseph Smith: "'Do you believe the Bible?' [Smith:]'If we do, we are the only people under heaven that does, for there are none of the religious sects of the day that do'. When asked 'Will everybody be damned, but Mormons'? [Smith replied] 'Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 119).

Joseph Smith: "for the teachers of religion of the different sects understood the same passages of scripture so differently as to destroy all confidence in settling the question by an appeal to the Bible" (from Pearl of Great Price 1:12). "What is it that inspires professors of Christianity generally with a hope of salvation? It is that smooth, sophisticated influence of the devil, by which he deceives the whole world" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.270).

 

 

 

Brigham Young stated this repeatedly: "When the light came to me I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness" (Journal of Discourses 5:73); "The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God" (Journal of Discourses 8:171); "With a regard to true theology, a more ignorant people never lived than the present so-called Christian world" (Journal of Discourses 8:199); "And who is there that acknowledges [God's] hand? ...You may wander east, west, north, and south, and you cannot find it in any church or government on the earth, except the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.24); "Should you ask why we differ from other Christians, as they are called, it is simply because they are not Christians as the New Testament defines Christianity" (Journal of Discourses 10:230).

 

 

 

Orson Pratt proclaimed: "Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the 'whore of Babylon' whom the Lord denounces by the mouth of John the Revelator as having corrupted all the earth by their fornications and wickedness. Any person who shall be so corrupt as to receive a holy ordinance of the Gospel from the ministers of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent" (The Seer, p. 255).

 

 

 

Orson Pratt also said: "This great apostasy commenced about the close of the first century of the Christian era, and it has been waxing worse and worse from then until now" (Journal of Discourses

, vol.18, p.44) and: "But as there has been no Christian Church on the earth for a great many centuries past, until the present century, the people have lost sight of the pattern that God has given according to which the Christian Church should be established, and they have denominated a great variety of people Christian Churches, because they profess to be ...But there has been a long apostasy, during which the nations have been cursed with apostate churches in great abundance" (Journal of Discourses , 18:172).

 

 

President John Taylor stated: "Christianity...is a perfect pack of nonsense...the devil could not invent a better engine to spread his work than the Christianity of the nineteenth century." (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.167); "Where shall we look for the true order or authority of God? It cannot be found in any nation of Christendom." (Journal of Discourses , 10:127).

 

 

 

James Talmage said: "A self-suggesting interpretation of history indicates that there has been a great departure from the way of salvation as laid down by the Savior, a universal apostasy from the Church of Christ". (A Study of the Articles of Faith, p.182).

 

 

 

President Joseph Fielding Smith said: "Doctrines were corrupted, authority lost, and a false order of religion took the place of the gospel of Jesus Christ, just as it had been the case in former dispensations, and the people were left in spiritual darkness." (Doctrines of Salvation, p.266). "For hundreds of years the world was wrapped in a veil of spiritual darkness, until there was not one fundamental truth belonging to the place of salvation ...Joseph Smith declared that in the year 1820 the Lord revealed to him that all the 'Christian' churches were in error, teaching for commandments the doctrines of men" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 3, p.282).

 

 

 

More recent statements by apostle Bruce McConkie are also very clear: "Apostasy was universal...And this darkness still prevails except among those who have come to a knowledge of the restored gospel" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol 3, p.265); "Thus the signs of the times include the prevailing apostate darkness in the sects of Christendom and in the religious world in general" (The Millennial Messiah, p.403); "a perverted Christianity holds sway among the so-called Christians of apostate Christendom" (Mormon Doctrine, p.132); "virtually all the millions of apostate Christendom have abased themselves before the mythical throne of a mythical Christ whom they vainly suppose to be a spirit essence who is incorporeal uncreated, immaterial and three-in-one with the Father and Holy Spirit" (Mormon Doctrine, p.269); "Gnosticism is one of the great pagan philosophies which antedated Christ and the Christian Era and which was later commingled with pure Christianity to form the apostate religion that has prevailed in the world since the early days of that era." (Mormon Doctrine, p.316).

 

 

 

President George Q. Cannon said: "After the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized, there were only two churches upon the earth. They were known respectively as the Church of the Lamb of God and Babylon. The various organizations which are called churches throughout Christendom, though differing in their creeds and organizations, have one common origin. They all belong to Babylon" (Gospel Truth, p.324).

 

 

President Wilford Woodruff stated: "the Gospel of modern Christendom shuts up the Lord, and stops all communication with Him. I want nothing to do with such a Gospel, I would rather prefer the Gospel of the dark ages, so called" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 2, p.196).

[MHGinTN]

It will never dawn on that type that you are sounding an alarm to those being lead astray.

[Elsie]

Yeah, the problem is that I didn’t listen to myself and quit this idiotic “conversation” a couple of iterations ago.

Do you talk to yourself often?

[Elsie]

This "Mormonism" sidebar got things derailed, even though as it turns out, Reid doesn't appear to me to be faithful to "Mormon" values.

MOST Mormons aren't!

What kinda rules make it so only about 15% or so of them ever get an eternity with God the Father?

[BlueDragon]

Hey! The guy named other people here too. There is more than one star in this movie. lol

Most of the registered Inmans were named.

Oh, and if he is still lurking around;

Hi Greg.

We still don't miss you...and no, we won't pay rent either -- living free (in your head) is too easy.
