FORMER US ATTORNEY: DOJ SHOULD OPEN A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO HARRY REID PUSHING EB-5 VISA EXP

EXCLUSIVE–FORMER U.S. ATTORNEY: DOJ SHOULD OPEN A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO HARRY REID PUSHING EB-5 VISA EXPANSION

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) says he intends to retire at the end of his term in 2017. But he may still face legal pressure before he leaves.

Former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova, a leading legal expert on the prosecution and defense of white collar criminals, tells Breitbart News there is enough public evidence to launch a criminal investigation of Reid.

“Here’s the issue,” diGenova tells Breitbart News in an exclusive interview. “Because his son was involved representing the SLS Casino and Hotel that sought the expedited EB-5 visa processing from the Department of Homeland Security, and because Harry Reid intervened personally, there is obviously the appearance of impropriety here.”

“The Senate Ethics Committee, if it examines this independently, would see this as an instance of Reid ‘bringing reproach upon the Senate.’”

“But there is also the issue of criminal conduct. This requires further investigation,” diGenova says.

“There is no doubt in my mind,” diGenova continues, “that an independent Department of Justice or an independent U.S. Attorney would open a preliminary criminal investigation into Harry Reid’s intervention into the expediting of EB-5 visas and would in addition convene a grand jury.”

“I would open a grand jury on this in a New York minute,” diGenova says.

Well, someone beat the daylights out of the slimy geezer for a good reason. Maybe we could find the culprit and give him the Orkin Exterminator Award.

Google this year’s photos of Harry Reid. His bruise keep shifting, and today’s stories shows what appears to be new bruising on his jawline. There are also older photos of bruising, sometimes on his right eye with the left one looking fine. Other times on his left eye with his right one looking fine. In the photos with his bruised eyes, his jaw looks fine.

As we all know, bruises start purple, and then turn green, then yellow. These are all dark purple bruises.

I doubt a criminal investigation by the DOJ will happen as long as resident 0bama is in office but that’s exactly what should take place.

Dingy Harry deserves to spend some of his retirement in a federal slammer.

For any of you Harry Reid ‘fans’ out there in Freeperville a simple question:
++++
Are we certain that there was no connection between the eye injury and The Mob? Was it really an accident?

Not as long as Obama has a phone and a pardon pen.

So that Xero can give him a pardon before he leaves.

The nature of the “exercise equipment” is a curious thing since we’re yet to see a picture of a piece that could do the damage Dingy described along with a clear explanation of how the “accident” actually happened.

Well if that is ever going to happen it will happen in the Cruz administration with Mark Levin heading the DOJ.

Justice swift and sure!

Acute damage to the eye and face.
Broken ribs

This was a beat down and then his ribs were kicked in with great force.

The real question is what did Harry Reid do or not do to get this "bad ass beat down and who ordered the beat down?"

I forgot to add that if this was a “mob beat down” on Harry it would be real hard for me to vote guilty, but I guess I would. Just Damn!

And he seems so trustworthy.

He reminds me of Bloom County’s Senator Bedfellow, or the Nevada senator in “Godfather 2.”
