Harry Reid and the Generous Jay Brown

See AJ Strata and Captain Ed for the latest unravelings of Harry Reid's dubious financial arrangements. Meanwhile, via the FEC, you can see that Jay Brown has given easily over $100,000 to Harry Reid and some notable friends. Though Reid seems to like his individual donations larger than the others.

Of special interest might be former Reid staffer Tessa Michelle Hafen. She took in 4 grand from Brown this year with another 4 or so from his wife. And when you add in the Reid family, you're up to about 15 - 20k. Assuming she wins, I wonder if they're building anything in her District anytime soon? She was the press mouthpiece for Dirty Harry through his dubious dealings over the past 6 - 10 years.

Note to Dan,

Look up meaning of "beating a dead horse"

This story is not going to get any traction.

Sen Minority Leader Reid should hang up his spurs instead of hanging up the phone on AP. Even the liberal planets around the NYT sun are agog at the arrogance of this girlie man for his land deals with Jay Brown, a "former mobster." [BTW, what is the statute of limitations for being mobbed up?]

Sounds like the Dems are beginning the slide to Putinization before they are even elected to a majority status. The Russian KGB dwarf is busy giving parts of the economy to Russian mobsters, while his KGB pals and other cronies take the choicest parts of the economic pie.

Making a million without reporting it should be regarded as equivalent to e-mails and IMs to House pages, but look for silence by Pravda on the Hudson. As I was told long ago by a lefty scamster from Columbia U named Mark Rudd, "No fault on the left."
