Does it ace Hillary's futures system?

Harry M. Reid of Nevada, the Senate's top Democrat, said yesterday that he was in discussions with the chamber's ethics committee to determine whether he should amend his financial disclosure forms to include details of a real estate transaction that allowed him to collect $1.1 million.
The Associated Press reported that Reid gained a windfall from that sale of land in 2004 even though he had not personally owned the property for the previous three years. Reid also did not divulge the 2001 transfer of the land to a company he co-owned with a friend, a transaction that would normally call for a mention in Senate financial disclosure documents, the AP said.
Reid's spokesman, Jim Manley, defended the sale as a "normal business transaction at market prices." He added that the land went through "several legal steps associated with the investment . . . that did not alter Senator Reid's actual ownership interest in the land." If, however, the ethics committee determines that the land's transfer to a company requires additional disclosure, Manley said that Reid would be "happy to provide" it.

And while we are at it, let’s take another smell at the Obama-Rezko land deal.
