If that's not the reason maybe the brother of this "excercize machine" knows the reason.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) explains his shocking decision to not seek re-election and retire when his term ends in 2016 by telling the New York Times, “he was worried his race would consume campaign money that would be needed in other competitive states as Democrats try to regain control of the Senate.”
“I think it is unfair for me to be soaking up all the money to be re-elected with what we are doing in Maryland, in Pennsylvania, in Missouri, in Florida,” Reid told the Times.
Reid said neither his recent eye injury nor concern over his chances of winning played a factor in his decision.
But the real reason Reid is retiring may have nothing to do with any of these excuses and everything to do with his concerns that a possible Republican Presidential victory in 2016 would lead to the appointment of a Republican Attorney General in January 2017.
A Republican Attorney General would be almost certain to initiate a criminal investigation into Reid’s abuse of his political power in a brazen intervention in the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) issuance of EB-5 visas to investors in a Las Vegas casino and hotel that was represented by his son, Rory Reid, as was highlighted in a report released by the Inspector General of DHS last week.
“I think Harry Reid’s getting out of town ahead of the posse,” former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova tells Breitbart News.
On Thursday, the non-profit group Cause of Action called on the Department of Justice (DOJ) to launch a criminal investigation of Reid. Citing the specific federal statutes that were violated, the group said Reid “participat[ed] in unlawful political activity, possible coercion and fraud related to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program.”

bergdahl announcement seemed timed as well Maybe I’m too sensitive.
He had better be prosecuted anyway. PERIOD. I am fed up with Dems getting away with ‘murder and other criminality’ because the Republicans lack the ‘testicular fortitude’ to hold the Dems accountable!
I was half way expecting him to say that he wanted to spend more time with his family. That’s the catchall phrase, right?
Good riddance. I'd like to see Harry get a 20 year sentence.
Obama would probably, however, pardon him.
So best policy is to wait until Obama is gone.
I hope they go after him even after he retires.
Dems will get away with it no matter what, until doomsday.
The Dems are headed by a bunch of adolescent psychotics who will get away with it until the opposition learns how to deal effectively with personality disorder.
IMHO
There’s so much corruption and so many criminals in the democrat party that it’s just mind blowing. That’s what happens when the idiot Republicans and law enforcement types just look the other way. It’s out of control. The truth is never told about anything coming out of a democrat(or Republican’s) mouth.
It would be nice if it were true but the idea that a republican would actually prosecute a democrat is a bit fanciful for my taste. I believe the top brass of the democrat party could all be perp walked for a number of various offenses, but I have no expectation it will ever happen.
I tink he just didn’t wanna see dat “exercise equipment” comIn’ his way again, if youse know what I mean...
Reid needs to go into hiding, from the Mafia.
If that's not the reason maybe the brother of this "excercize machine" knows the reason.
I can’t imagine Reid is scared of being prosecuted by Republicans. I think the retirement has something to do with the “excercise” beatdown.
Isn;t it interesting that there has not been one mention of the maker and model of the exact machine that caused Searchlight Harry’s injuries?
Nor a demand for the government to investigate the same to eliminate the possibility of injuries to others?
The press does its assigned task, by NOT asking obvious questions.
Mark Levin for Attorney General.
But then again, being Obama and his penchant for bus rides...he just might throw him under at the last minute.
Rather have Ted Cruz or Trey Gowdy as Attorney general and totally unleashed by whoever is president.
Something is up. He insisted he was all in after his ass kicking.
