Think hillary and cow. I mean cattle futures. Yeah, that’s it.
BS....he can go to his ‘mob’ buddies all over Nevada and get all the money he needs, that is if they decide not to knock the snot out of him first!!!
let me correct the title, Harry Reid wants to spend 900,000 in bribe money on him self and his family.

Oh look. ANOTHER democrat defying the law without consequences.
It’s kinda gettin’ old.
Tell you what, if I was a youngster entering politics, I’d definitely entire on the side with utterly no laws.

Well, Harry, no.
How about a nice consolation prize, like a new treadmill.
And yet, unlike Alaska and the oil folks, we residents of Nevada get no residuals from the gold mining companies. What’s up with that? LOL!
If the man wants to keep his papers in a ski lodge or on a boat, who are we to argue? Such nitpicking!
But I’m sure Dingy Harry gets a piece of the golden pie.!
