Harry Reid's Corruption, Cont'd.

I didn't read this earlier, but Captain Ed has the real meat of the Reid story, in which he made a nice fat profit on an undisclosed land deal.

Another interesting fact comes to light in this article. Rory Reid, Harry's son and a lawyer/lobbyist who worked for Nevada's largest legal firm. Lionel Sawyer & Collins represented more than a few clients whose business became Harry Reid's Senate business, but that isn't news. In fact, his other three sons also worked for the same firm and did some lobbying as well. Rory, however, is a special case. Rory got himself elected to the Clark County Board of Commissioners in November 2002, which makes zoning decisions for Las Vegas and its environs.

Why is this important? It was a zoning change that allowed Reid and his partners to sell their parcels in 2004 to developers after being allowed to build a shopping complex on the land. So far, the exact timing of that zoning change has not yet come to light, but the coincidence looks very suspicious.

*Update*
Still quiet on the MSM about Reid's corruption. And unlike what Dems would do if any major GOP figure had even the slightest hint of impropriety, the GOP will never insist on an investigation.
