FULL HEADLINE: Harry Reid’s Office Reveals New Details About His Source On Romney’s Taxes, Quickly Takes Details Back

The Huffington Post, which broke the story that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) was accusing Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney of paying nothing in taxes for a 10 year period, took to the internet with another scoop that might keep the fading story alive – Reid was revealing details about his source. Reid’s office claimed that the source was close to Bain Capital and Romney and was — gasp — a Republican. The story made a splash for a tense 34 minutes on Thursday night before Reid’s office reached out to HufPo to note that they could not confirm Reid’s source was, in fact, a Republican.

So, Reid is basically accusing O'bama's IRS of being soooooooooo incompetent, that they can't catch a high-profile tax evader in over 10 years, is that it?

Or just that Romney used "loopholes" (i.e., the law) to avoid paying whatevr Reid thinks is "his fair share".

Which is it, Harry?

Yet, the lie will still be the lead on MSNBC and Daily Kos tonite, as well as Huffpo, to be picked up by local affiliates across the country, and Pacifica tomorrow.

if Romney’s taxes where not squeaky clean. Holder/timmy who ever would have him in jail by now.

I’d bet Romney turned in taxes with conservative numbers (IE paid more than he should have) just to keep the IRS off his back.

Al Capone went to prison for 11 years after being convicted on 5 counts of federal tax evasion and failure to file incomes taxes.

So Harry, contact the FBI and have Mitt arrested if you’ve got the goods on him, you putz. Either that or shut up!

Perhaps he is telling the truth. Maybe, just maybe, after the ghosts of Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth and countless others visited Nancy Pelosi, they then paid a visit to Senator Reid and revealed this information to him.

Maybe Harry Reid will die of alcoholism after being totally disgraced by an unfruitful smear campaign against Republicans in the 2012 election cycle.

Reid’s probably guilty of a felony. Thanks South40.
