AP Exclusive: Reid got $1M in land sale
AP ^ | Oct 11, 2006 | By JOHN SOLOMON and KATHLEEN HENNESSEY, Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON - 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.

In the process, Reid did not disclose to Congress an earlier sale in which he transferred his land to a company created by a friend and took a financial stake in that company, according to records and interviews.

The Nevada Democrat's deal was engineered by Jay Brown, a longtime friend and former casino lawyer whose name surfaced in a major political bribery trial this summer and in other prior organized crime investigations. He's never been charged with wrongdoing — except for a 1981 federal securities complaint that was settled out of court.

Every GOP senate candidate should demand that immediately especially if their Dem opponent has demanded the same of Hastert.

As I play this out in my head, I think the MSM will blame the republican leadership for leaking this 'October Surprise' and call for Denny Hastert to resign twice. lol

You all think this will be the lead story on the evening news and cable shows tonight?

How about screaming headlines in the NY Slimes and Washington Compost so the morning shows will report it since that is where they get their news from?

Anybody want to buy some ocean front property in Arizona??

Reid is in big trouble.

Who is going to ask him about this, let alone prosecute him? The Bush Administration will quash an investigation for fear that someone will accuse them of being partisan. No Republican pundit will dare bring this up if they want to evr be on TV again. No Democrat anywhere will ever be confronted with their association with Harry Reid over this. And certainly no reporter will ask at Harry's next press conference.
