Embattled St. George businessman Jeremy Johnson says new Utah Attorney General John Swallow helped broker a deal in 2010 in which Johnson believed he was to pay Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid $600,000 to make a federal investigation into Johnson’s company go away.
But when the federal government filed a lawsuit Johnson thought he had paid to quash, he demanded Swallow return some of the $250,000 initial payment. Then, just days before the Nov. 6 election, Johnson engaged in a frenetic but unsuccessful effort to get Swallow to drop out of the race, saying information about what Johnson called a “bribe” would come out and force the Republican’s resignation if he became attorney general.
More government, more regulation, more corruption.
That’s how it goes,
everybody knows.
“…….which Johnson believed he was to pay Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid $600,000 to make a federal investigation into Johnson’s company go away.”
Why wouldn’t he? It worked out well for Eric Holder for Fast & Furious guns to Mexican gun cartels.
He just blamed American gun owners and the Second Amendment.
Here’s a tip – cry racism and it will all go away.
Wasn’t it Frank Costello who once said that most politicians were not only very
easy to corrupt but usually completely unaware of what great bargains they were?
The canaries in deadly air in coal mines usually sang – to save their own feathers!
Dennis Miller often talks about how “public servant” Harry Reid has become extremely wealthy during his tenure. I’m beginning to understand why. 🙁
There’s also very lucrative real estate deals Pelosi’s husband “happened upon”. She won’t talk about it.
To paraphrase our friend sasquatch, taint right, just is, and always has been, and will be.
Btw, where is he? His poignant comments are missed.
Yeah……
Tain’t right, tain’t wrong, just is……..
get it right!
There is no subject on Earth of less interest to the leftstream media than Democrat corruption.
Thank you sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
Business as usual then. Democrat/liberal version of the business they be in.
