Harry Reid returns campaign money paid to granddaughter for ‘holiday gifts’

Quote
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has reimbursed his campaign nearly $17,000 paid to his granddaughter for “holiday gifts” in late 2013, after the Federal Election Commission insisted that his campaign clarify why the money was spent.

The FEC sent the treasurer for Friends of Harry Reid a letter insisting that he “must include a brief statement or description … to clarify the following description: ‘holiday gifts.’”

Reid’s campaign operation listed that description on its year-end report for two separate disbursements to Ryan Elisabeth of Berkley, Calif., on Oct. 23 — one for $5,416.93, the other for $11,370.00.

Busted and yes I love it.  :-)

If Republicans had any PR sense, they would exploit this little nugget, especially after all the lies Reid's told from the Senate floor where he can't be touched.

Me thinks someone at the Federal Election Commission will be flipping burgers soon.

No point. Reid would appear in the snooze and claim "It was an honest mistake and the money has been returned".

The snooze media would then pronounce it "done".

At least Fox is covering it. I love seeing that smarmy Dirty Harry sweating. What a nasty little twit.

I guess Harry loves his granddaughter sooooo much that he's willing to steal for her, with that kind of leadership in her life I'm sure she's right on track to becoming another one of those ummm, ?fine?, Liberal women!

The U.S.A. started downhill when being a politician became a life long profession instead of a short term public duty.
