Harry Reid Under Investigation for Bribery in Utah

The retiring senator from Nevada, Harry Reid is being investigated in the state of Utah for bribery. He is being implicated in the investigation and prosecution of two former Attorney Generals of Utah in a pay to play scheme. The two former AGs are Mark Shurtleff and John Swallow. The case is being investigated by Davis County District Attorney Troy Rawlings. Rawlings made the announcement after he was asked about the investigation by a local paper.

The case was originally investigated by the DOJ, but since Reid is not a republican, they refused to prosecute. Apparently, they determined Reid was as innocent as Hillary Clinton and Lois Lerner. They are also refusing to give information to Rawlings from their investigation. Shurtleff has also joined in the motion. He is constitutionally entitled to the information in discovery as he is facing prosecution as a result of the DOJ’s alleged investigation. The DOJ Rejects that argument, using the excuse that they have the right to withhold information they deem to be irrelevant.

From the Daily Feed: (A local Utah newspaper:

Given the adversarial relationship of criminal proceedings, with prosecutor and defender squaring off, it is notable that Shurtleff’s defense team has joined ranks with those prosecuting Shurtleff, to call for evidence the feds are allegedly holding back. Rawlings maintains Shurtleff has a constitutional right to the information the feds have gathered.

Meanwhile, Shurtleff is also attempting to take the feds to task. He recently made a statement—through his attorneys—criticizing the Department of Justice and alluding to the fact that he had served as a confidential informant to the FBI and federal prosecutors, feeding both camps information about Johnson’s attempt to bribe a U.S. Senator.

The information being withheld from Rawlings and Shurtleff could be exculpatory and therefore under the US constitution must be provided to Shurtleff even if it is not for Rawlings. It’s safe to say the DOJ is withholding the information from Shurtleff because he will share it with Rawlings.

More from the Daily Feed:

According to charging documents in 2014, both Shurtleff and his heir apparent as attorney general, John Swallow, allegedly had dealings and received donations from indicted St. George businessman Jeremy Johnson. Court documents referenced in both cases detail how Johnson sought Swallow’s help to ward off civil and criminal investigations into his company’s IWorks’ business interests. Johnson went on to implicate Reid in two bribery schemes.

Jeremy Johnson claims that Reid was involved in a pay-to-play bribery scheme focused on gambling, the details of which were published in The Salt Lake Tribune in October 2014.

A transcript of a conversation that Johnson recorded between himself and Shurtleff included allegations about a group of online poker business owners who had funneled $2 million to Reid in 2010 to get Reid to introduce legislation legalizing online poker. According to a June 6, 2013, AP story, Reid as well as Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., “pursued federal law to legalize Internet poker but ultimately gave up before even introducing the legislation.”

It’s good to see someone finally go after Reid for his questionable behavior as a US senator. His office made him rich.

Hope he's indicted. So many Democrats have been given "get out of jail free" cards, or something even better than that.

Did you see this in the second paragraph?

"The case was originally investigated by the DOJ, but since Reid is not a republican, they refused to prosecute." :mad:

Every minute of the Barry administration has been straight out of the banana republic handbook. Barry will pardon Reid if the investigation gets hot. No justice no peace.

Big Al Shatpton owes well north of 5 mill in back taxes. He gets invited to spend nights at the White House. (Isn't that a racist name in itself?)

Cliven Bundy allegedly owes a mill in grazing fees, so they send over 200 heavily armed jack booted thugs to confiscate his property and destroy his livelihood.

There seems to be the beginnings of a groundswell of support for Trump in the black communities, according to what I've been hearing.

If every state required voter ID, it would put a halt to the dead and undocumented Democrats from voting....assuming the officials at polling places did their jobs.

I was asked to help out at my polling place the last election cycle, and I did. In Nebraska, you have 5 workers ( in this county, anyway) per station. If a D is President, 3 of the 5 workers must be D's, and the same for Republicans if an R is President. There was one retired gal working at ours that makes Hillary look like Rush Limbaugh. When she found this out she called the county clerk and really reamed her out, since this gal was the only D working at our polling place. The clerk then told her it was so hard finding people to work that she didn't care what party they belonged to, but if she wanted to make sure we had a D majority there, she'd send the other 4 home and the complainer could do it all. The hag hung up the phone and was pretty quiet the rest of the shift.

That is encouraging even if I happen to think Trump wouldn't make the best President. He'd still be way better than what we have now.
They said on talk radio that he would, because he always has, put good people around him, so that was encouraging too.

a new poll, which still has Trump leading the race, shows 40 percent of blacks are lining up behind Trump, as are 45 percent of Hispanics, and even nearly 19 percent of Asians.

Blacks and Hispanics, in fact, even support Trump at a higher level than whites.

Only Dr. Ben Carson pulled more support from the black community than Trump, at 50 percent, and no one had more support from Hispanics than Trump. Among Asians, 37.5 percent supported Sen. Marco Rubio, with Sen. Ted Cruz matching Trump’s 18.8 percent.
