Reid gave granddaughter $17K in campaign funds
« on: March 27, 2014, 07:55:24 AM »

WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid sent nearly $17,000 in campaign funds to his granddaughter, and disclosed their relationship only under pressure from the Federal Election Commission, it was reported Wednesday.

The Senate’s top Democrat announced he was reimbursing the money after it was revealed his campaign had cut two separate checks of $5,417 and $11,370 to his granddaughter last October for what were described as “holiday gifts.”

The checks went to “Ryan Elisabeth” — but Reid’s office didn’t initially disclose that the recipient was Ryan Elisabeth Reid, the 23-year-old daughter of his son, Rory.

When first contacted by Las Vegas journalist Jon Ralston, Reid’s office said Ryan Elisabeth was a campaign vendor — without acknowledging she was Reid’s granddaughter.

Is using campaign funds illegal as in a felony? If so, the Feds should arrest this POS. This louse stole $17,000. Shows you that he is a greedy Dummiecrat millionaire.  Tom Delay was accused and tried for something similar, and was hounded for years by the Justice Dept on triumphed up charges.

“Harry Reid is in a class by himself. One of his sons and his son-in-law lobby in Washington for companies, trade groups and municipalities seeking Reid’s help in the Senate. A second son has lobbied in Nevada for some of those same interests, and a third has represented a couple of them as a litigator.

In the last four years alone, their firms have collected more than $2 million in lobbying fees from special interests that were represented by the kids and helped by the senator in Washington. Apparently such activities are not illegal. They should be. Harry Reid has four sons who all work for Nevada’s largest law firm, Lionel, Sawyer & Collins. All of them have benefited by Reid.”

Several years ago, Reid and his sons were part of a land deal that raised a lot of eyebrows.  Don't remember whatever came of that.

Being a career politician is very lucrative.

I dunno whether to refer to him as 'Dingy' or 'Dirty'...

How about both.  "Dingy Dirty Harry" has kind of a nice ring to it.

I like catching Jerry Doyle's radio show.  

Because one of Harry Reid's favorite campaign trail stories is about how he was a little "Mormon" boy in Nevada who learned to swim in the swimming pool of the local brothel,  :whatever: Jerry most often refers to the Senile Senator from the Great State of Nevada as "Whorehouse Harry Reid".

Seems more fitting than any other moniker I've seen hung on him. :devious:

Ryan Elisabeth Reid has a Brooklyn address and her page on the Vimeo video-sharing Web site says she attended classes at NYU.
The page paints a picture of a free spirit who “runs a namesake jewelry company . . . interned at San Francisco Mime Troupe” and “likes anything French,” while “living in NYC or Paris.”

Eff this guy.

And Jeanne Shaheen needs to be tied tightly to Dirty Hairy.  Joined at the hip.  Carol Che and Nasty Nancy are an item so too Dirty Hairy and Mean Jeanne.

Where is the list of the dirt bag's prior offenses?  Well here is one:

Hairy is dirty no doubt about it.  Now what is to be done about it?

A millionaire like Harry could easily afford such a gift...but he stole other people's money instead.

Yeah thats right. I haven't been able to catch J.D. for a while, and I had forgotten. I enjoy his show when I'm able to catch it.

There's one good thing to be said of Dingy Dirty Harry, at least we can't be accused of being racists if we speak the truth about him.  :-)
