Whoops! Is Harry Reid Involved in a 2 Million Dollar Bribe Scheme?
Did the Department of Justice and the FBI back off of an investigation involving Reid and a $2 million dollar bribe?
That’s what it looks like.
Reid, who was being heavily courted by online poker companies, may have received a bribe from one of those very companies.
However, the DOJ and the FBI stopped investigating.
From Salt Lake Tribune:
The $2 million cashier’s check was drawn at a St. George bank Nov. 5, 2010.
From there, it was sent by FedEx to a Los Angeles attorney who represented Ireland-based Full Tilt Poker.
Made out to “Mail Media LTD” — a Full Tilt-owned entity used to launder online-gambling funds — the millions then were deposited at Basler Kantonalbank in Switzerland, where Mail Media had an account.
And from there, Davis County Attorney Troy Rawlings is investigating whether it went into a Marshall Islands account in the name of Searchlight Holding Inc. to benefit, or even bribe, Harry Reid, the once-powerful majority leader of the U.S. Senate whom online poker companies had been courting to push a bill to legalize their gaming across the nation.
But documents gathered by The Salt Lake Tribune from state and federal investigations, court filings and public records requests — including audio recordings of interviews and thousands of pages of transcripts, summaries by investigators, emails, requests for evidence and other materials — show that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI failed to pursue a vigorous investigation of this money and any potential tie to Reid.

Harry Reid has got to be corrupt. How many years a senator?From Nevada the gambling center. Term limits will get rid of career politicians like him and John McCain. Long overdue
I want the Trump DOJ to aggressively investigate as many of these democrat thugs as possible. These fools are full-bore ahead to do anything they can to delegitimize the Trump presidency. I don’t want anyone to be falsely charged with anything, but if they are guilty prosecute their sorry a$$es.
I think everyone currently in Washington is a crook. Trump needs to drain the whole swamp and bring in new people. It is disgusting what has been done to our country from Washington. Get rid of McConnell and Ryan.
