Davis County, Utah: Prosecutor is Investigating Harry Reid

The Salt Lake Tribune
Republican Davis County Attorney Troy Rawlings confirmed Tuesday that he is investigating the most powerful Democrat in the U.S. Senate, Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, based on evidence he has come across in prosecuting former Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff.
That evidence likely is related to money that flowed in and out of the now-defunct SunFirst Bank in St. George from the processing of payments to online-poker companies in late 2009 to 2010 by embattled businessman Jeremy Johnson and partners.
Payments allegedly were made to Reid, then the Senate's majority leader, to win his support in legalizing online poker.
"We are looking into allegations related to Senator Reid [and others]," Rawlings said in a statement.
That statement is the most direct the Davis County prosecutor has been about the scope of his probe, though he has left clues in court documents pointing to Reid and others, including federal prosecutors, who, in 2013, backed off from investigations of Shurtleff and his successor, former Attorney General John Swallow.   READ MORE

#HarryReid Lied and So What?

by Kim D.

This week saw a candid interview with retiring Senator Harry Reid and CNN's Dana Bash in which Reid, in a round about way, admitted he lied in August of 2012, before the presidential election, when he took to the Senate floor and falsely accused Mitt Romney of not paying taxes. The smugness on his face as he justifies the lie he told before the American people is sickening. He obviously revels in holding the title of the most polarizing POS in the Senate and has no regrets for the role he thinks he played in securing a second term for Barack Obama.

Politics has become a dirty rotten game in Washington, and no one has played the game better than Harry Reid. So by his rules, perhaps all politicians should have to prove lies told about them are not true and the most convincing wins - truth be damned.

Recommended Read Of The Morning: Retiring Harry Reid Not Deserving Of Accolades

IBD
Harry Reid: The Senate minority leader says he's retiring when his current term is up at the end of 2016 and is being lauded for his decades of public service. But we don't think the fulsome praise is warranted.

Already the bouquets are being tossed.

"Our children, grandchildren will grow up in a country that is more just and offers more opportunity because of Reid," said Sen. Patty Murray, a Washington Democrat.

Speaker John Boehner played the game and called Reid "a devoted servant and a tough advocate for the people of Nevada," while Jim Messina provided the most unctuous response of the day.

"A lion sleeps tonight," said the Obama 2012 campaign manager and former White House adviser. "Sen. Reid will go down as one of the greatest public servants to ever grace the halls of the Capitol."...   READ MORE

Harry Reid: Stay Healthy My Friends

I believe Harry Reid's explanation of being injured when his elastic exercise band broke. Judging by the extent of his injuries I also believe there was a second broken elastic exercise band on the grassy knoll. The truth is out there.

This is why I love Twitter. Once the news broke this morning that Harry Reid would be retiring from the Senate, the hashtags began wishing the senator a fond farewell:
Oh yeah, the Twittersphere has a ton of suggestions:

Weasel Harry Reid Says He Won’t Seek Re-Election

By Elizabeth Nelson

After Harry Reid got beat up in January, by a mystery assailant.  Oh, fell down, bumped his head and broke his face exercising - that's his story and he's sticking to it. The Senate Majority wimp, the desk where all House Bills went to die - has finally seen the light after three long decades.  Career Senator, Harry Reid, has announced he will not seek re-election after his term finally dies of old age. Good riddance to a bad weasel. You did us NO favors, you Obama water carrier and agenda pusher. 


Senator Harry Reid, the tough tactician who has led Senate Democrats since 2005, will not seek re-election next year, bringing an end to a three-decade congressional career that culminated with his push of President Obama’s ambitious agenda against fierce Republican resistance.


“I understand this place,” Mr. Reid said. “I have quite a bit of power as minority leader.”


He has already confounded the new Republican majority this year by holding Democrats united against a proposal to gut the Obama administration’s immigration policies as well as a human-trafficking measure Democrats objected to over an anti-abortion provision.

 “I want to be able to go out at the top of my game,” said Mr. Reid, who used a sports metaphor about athletes who try to hang on too long. “I don’t want to be a 42-year-old trying to become a designated hitter.”


He posted his "good bye speech" on youtube, telling the world that his "exercising accident" gave him time with his wife, but that it had little to do with his decision to bail on politics - after three excruciatingly long decades.  He also told Mitch McConnell not to get too happy, with his decision, that he still had 22 months [to squash, sit on the GOP's Bills and carry Obama's water] before his term languishes and dies of old age. 
I've read some liberal commentary say, "This is going to be a big absence on Capitol hill..."  Really? His desk is where bills went to die, maybe now they will actually get bipartisan legislation passed and something done in Washington.  It's amazing how Reagan, Bush and Clinton all managed to get things done with a split Congress, but this President can get nothing done. He couldn't even get things done when he  had control of, during his first term.  He didn't pass gay marriage, gun control, health care insurance or Amnesty when he had full-control, so he can't blame the "obtrusive GOP" now.

Mr. Reid’s tenure has become increasingly combative in recent years and included a procedural change on nominations that infuriated Republicans. He also came under fire for blocking floor debate, and even some of his Democratic colleagues suggested that he was stifling the Senate. Just this week, he alienated House Democrats who thought he was sabotaging a compromise on Medicare.

Finally, the truth is brought out into the light, that the Democrats, with Weasel Reid as their "leader," are the combative one.  However, "combative" is the understatement of the millennium. Yet it's the GOP that are blamed for being the "obstructionists" to progress, because these Demonrats can do no wrong with this Administration.

His departure at the end of 2016 will create an opening both at the top of the Senate Democratic hierarchy and in a Senate contest that would have been a mega spending slugfest in the presidential battleground of Nevada. Conservatives such as Charles G. and David H. Koch, the billionaire brothers who were a favorite target of Reid criticism in 2014, would have spared no expense in trying to oust him.  Read more NY TIMES


There may be light at the end of this tunnel, after all. With the end of Obama's reign will come a lot of change, hopefully in the right direction.  Obama leaves and out go his water carriers, one by one as we see with Reid, if we do this right.  I wonder if there is any way we can convince Reid to take Pelosi with him and make this a party.  Now, all we have to do is stop listening to the liberals when they start chasing their tails and telling us, "we can't win" and they "have all the power," and start coming together to convince the rest of the world that we can win and take our country back.
