Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid collected a $1.1 million windfall on a Las Vegas land sale even though he hadn't personally owned the property for three years, property deeds show.
This huge transaction was just a "hand shake made by two friends"
Now, last time I sold some land I had to sign a stack of papers. But Harry doesn't have any?????
Head scratcher

The fact that he didn't follow the rules of Senate disclosure is part of the issue. He doesn't feel he has to follow the rules. Liberals are above the law in his mind.
The reason you hear little about this is because the mainstream media is biased and won't report on anything that makes Democrats look bad, or shows them for the crooks they really are.
I'm glad other forms of news leak this stuff out. I think as a whole most Americans are becoming more informed now that the liberals no longer have a total monopoly on the media.

Rich & Powerful Democrats are like the Kennedys: ABOVE THE LAW.
Here's the ironic part, the prisons are full of poor little neer-do-well Democrats.
While the Rich Democrats get by with everything.

Sounds like all he did was carry the paper on a land contract

Does anyone know if he paid ANY Taxes on the transaction?
If he didn't, then the IRS should be checking this out!

... well... I'm sure there is a little more to it than that... and I've heard many people talking about it already? maybe you should watch the news?
but so far... I don't see an exact illegal action... but I don't know that much about real estate law... and most others don't either... so maybe that's the problem...
there were some probably congressional ethics violations though... but people usually don't get to upset over them... it's not a sex scandal...

"Dirty" Harry Reid really IS dirty! And a tax cheat! He should be made to step down from his MINORITY leadership position!

since he is a democrat, it means he supports communism/socialism, the most corrupt forms of government ever created.

If nobody is saying one word, what is it that you're doing?
