PAINTING OF HARRY REID PAID FOR OUT OF CAMPAIGN FUNDS MAY HAVE BROKEN FEDERAL LAWS

PAINTING OF HARRY REID PAID FOR OUT OF CAMPAIGN FUNDS MAY HAVE BROKEN FEDERAL LAWS

January 10, 2016

This week, a painting of Nevada Senator Harry Reid was unveiled in the US Capitol. It was also unveiled that the painting was paid for out of Reid’s campaign account, to the tune of $7,000, which may violate federal law.

Senator Reid is already under criminal investigation by Salt Lake City, Davis County Prosecutor Troy Rawlings who is investigating Reid for allegedly taking a $2 million bribe from the now defunct online gaming company Full Tilt. Rawlings named the investigation “Rogue Runner.” As first reported in the Salt Lake Tribune and later Breitbart.

Rawlings also said he is ready to empanel a Grand Jury but his small county doesn’t have the estimated $300,000 it will cost to operate the Grand Jury. So he is waiting on the Utah State legislature next year to fund it, however he may accept private funds, as allowed under Utah law, to pay the expenses. Mr. Rawlings’ bulldog attitude has driven him to even take on the Obama administration over their efforts to block key witnesses from testifying against Reid and others. Rawlings said “Initially the local FBI was interested in the case but the Obama DOJ shut them down. Instead they filed protective orders to hide key documents from our investigation.”

Rawlings was extremely confident in his case against not only Reid but several of his associates in Utah and here in Nevada and believes he could bring indicts if only he could get the funds to empanel the Grand Jury. Nevada officials refused to return our calls regarding Mr. Rawlings’ criminal investigation of Harry Reid.
