Reid Donor Broke Campaign Finance Laws

In Election Law Violations
No Agenda

Looks like Harry Reid has been the recipient of dirty money.

<<< A prominent Las Vegas-based developer has admitted to illegally funneling a total of $37,000 in campaign contributions to Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and indicted former congressional candidate Dario Herrera during the 2002 election cycle, the Federal Election Commission said Thursday.

[...]

FEC officials said Reid accepted $10,000 in the bundled contributions. Reid spokesman Jim Manley said the senator will transfer the money to the U.S. Treasury, as ordered by the FEC.

"The senator believes that campaign finance laws should be followed to the highest letter of the law," he said.

Under federal campaign finance law, corporations are barred from making campaign contributions and donors are prohibited from making a contribution on behalf of someone else. At the time, individuals were limited to donations of $1,000 in the primary and another $1,000 in the general election.

In its complaint, the National Republican Congressional Committee said the contributions to Reid and Herrera were suspicious because a range of employees - from the CFO to the payroll clerk - contributed the maximum amount. All the Rhodes employees and spouses contributed to only the Herrera and Reid campaigns, and no employee had contributed to a political campaign in the 1998 or 2000 election cycles, the complaint said. >>>


And we're supposed to believe Reid had no idea.
