Harry Reid in hot water for $17K campaign dole-out to granddaughter
Sen. Harry Reid — under pressure from the Federal Election Commission — revealed that he gave about $17,000 in campaign cash to his granddaughter in two separate payments that were recorded in his books as “holiday gifts.”
Shortly after the payments came to light, Mr. Reid also announced he was refunding the money, The New York Post reported.
The checks were cut in amounts of $5,417 and $11,370 and given to his granddaughter last October, the media outlet said. On paper, they were listed as amounts to a person named “Ryan Elisabeth.” It was later learned that the recipient was actually Ryan Elisabeth Reid, 23, who’s the daughter of Mr. Reid’s son, Rory, the New York Post said.
Par for course for democrats. They are always generous with other people's money. People donated the money for his campaign, not for him to buy gifts for people from his granddaughter no less. I can't believe he did it after all he is the Senate Majority LEADER and a good leader knows ALL the rules and regulations and secondly the jewelry looks like crap. I'd be too embarrassed to give it to anyone.
It is a tragic truth that these people feel they are above the laws they've written. I'll bet all thieves would like to 'give back' their stolen goods instead of facing charges and jail time. Harry Reid is your enemy
as “holiday gifts.”
Hot water? Not harry. This will be "deemed" an honest mistake. It could have happened to anybody, right?
