EXCLUSIVEFORMER 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.
Heres 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 Reids 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.

The corrupt “Just Us” dept will do NO such thing.....is there ONE decent person left in Obama’s Govt???
#8 Re “his exercise equipment”. Wonder what her name is?
Re Reid in an orange prisoner suit. PRICELESS
Re re: Reid in a Roach Motel Box (You can check in but you can’t check out) DOUBLE SECRET PRICELESS (I’ll take ten copies, please).
Exactly. H. Reid is disgusting and corrupt. However,Schumer, who supposedly will replace him, is even worse.
Then Schumer needs to go, too.
He definitely acts different since the” exercise equipment assault”. I think someone got some goods on him of the impechment or arresting variety.
Nancy “we have to pass it to see what’s in it” Pelosi needs to be next. Do you know ANY businessman in his right mind who would sign a contract without reading over it or having his attorney do it? Me neither. I wouldn’t.
> The nature of the exercise equipment is a curious thing since were 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.
Funny, most people would say what piece of equipment it was not refer to it as “exercise equipment” which sounds like BS which it probably is...
The movie is, in fact, a barely disguised history of the Stardust casino, and the Chicago Outfit. They only really juggled names around.
Ted Cruz is the only one in the senate who would even think about investigating Reid. None of the other members of the House of Lords would dare turn on a fellow elite member.
Go Cruz!
Just as Dirty Harry has said that "a friend" told him that Romney hasn't paid taxes in 10 years *I* have been told by a friend that Dirty Harry is known (in some circles) as a guy who *enjoys* being in handcuffs during his "leisure" time.
“Ted Cruz is the only one in the senate who would even think about investigating Reid. None of the other members of the House of Lords would dare turn on a fellow elite member.”
That’s the problem. The political elite class especially within Party covers for itself, and the media isn’t as prone to tell on the Ds. At least the Rs will sometimes expose and expel or shun their own for bad behavior or corruption.
Too many get to resign on their terms when they should get prison terms.
If it was a robbery or mugging we would have heard. When people are in places they shouldn’t be (w prostitutes), or doing things they shouldn’t be doing (tapping under the stall, or with neighbors wife, or dealing with bad people) is when they need to come up with excuses or tall tales.
Mr. diGenova, Eric Holder never saw a racist criminal he didn’t like. Boehner and McConnell are not about to jeopardize their priority status at the DC brothels.
We applaud your efforts anyway.
> Harry Reid.... etc...
Remind me again why Bob McDonnell and wife are in / going to jail?
The law does not apply to democrats.
[None of the other members of the House of Lords would dare turn on a fellow elite member.]
More to the point, none other of the lying, cheating, stealing thugs of the Congress except a handful of the Cruz supporters, would turn on Reid cause he got their records stashed somewhere safe if he should get hurt and disappear, seams like to me. DC has become Chicago and the thugs are bribing and stealing from the taxpayers who support their worthless lives.
Every wrongdoing possible has been POINTED OUT and PONTIFICATED about... but NO ONE has done anything to STOP IT or PREVENT it from happening further.
As an American I feel like the autopilot is on... we're definitely descending.. and OH YES, we're LOCKED OUT of the cockpit.
Bttt
