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.

Uhn huh...
Can’t happen now. He just moved to a gated community.
Nuclear testing? Sinkhole? The missing Malaysia plane from a few months ago? China has made a breakthrough but it’s not where they thought?
In the late 2000s (2008 or 2009) Harry Reid received the highest award a mormon can receive from BYU, for beinging an example of what morons would be.
So your question is yes.
Cab a pResident pardon state charges, not federal charges?
Oh, yeah! It’s amazing what voters will put up with.
Utah is heavily Republican....they wouldn't have been in those positions if they weren't walking the R walk. Of course, it's GOPe.
“Based on their record, I predict the LDS Church will never drop the nuclear bomb on Dirty Harry ... unless and until his cost (measured in terms of embarrassment and loss of membership) outweighs his benefit ... which, given his position and ability to distribute government favors such as doling out cash and calling off the dogs, is pretty close to nil.”
Correctamundo! But lets be honest, all the rest of the “churches” do the same thing when it comes for high-rollers who don’t follow their faith. And right now both the Catholics and the Mormons are licking their chops over all these “children” flooding into our country, particularly the Catholics because most of them are Catholic. They get their members any way they can.
What I want all of them (the churches) to tell us us just “how many illegal immigrants is enough! When has America “done enough for the worlds’ disadvantaged?” Do we follow their “teachings” and just let America fail in the name of doing what’s right for the poor and disadvantaged? How about India? Bangladesh? Eastern Europe? How many Muzzies is “enough” here? Come on churches, just tell us!!!!
Oh, I forgot, you are too busy waging wars around the world to answer this question.
The Uncle Leo of politics.. “I’m an old man, I was confused...”
Wrong... the country’s turning against liberal elites like Reid...
Every American patriot is delivering imprecatory prayers against Harry Reid over this.
Not really but a King can... if you get my drift.
Gee I sure hope you’re right that I’m wrong. And I hope that people are turning on liberal elites fast enough and in enough numbers to make a difference. It takes more than people just turning against them tho too as you well know I’m sure.
“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.”
Black eye? Now, that’s racist.
It really makes no difference. Harry Reid and a host of other democrats will never be prosecuted for anything. When Slick Willy and Hillary got away with all sorts of crimes because his replacement thought we should “move on”, it made democrats immune from prosecution.
NOW you've done it!
Don't you KNOW we can't report a person's religion if they've been accused of a crime?
The Ronnie Haskell thread got yanked that mentioned that HE; too; was (is?) a Mormon.
You are a HATER!
—MormonDude(Hail Joseph!)
That'sa BIG brush!
The OLD orange...
You pinged NARSES???
Does he have a cerealbox for THIS meme?
