Former Nevada Powerbroker Guilty of Making Illegal Contributions to Sen. Harry Reid – Update: Mistrial on lying charge

The Associated Press reports that Harvey Whittemore skirted campaign finance laws in order to make contributions in others’ names to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

The federal jury returned unanimous guilty verdicts on charges of making excessive campaign contributions, making contributions in the name of another and causing a false statement to be made to the Federal Election Commission. [...]

Prosecutors say Whittemore gave money to family members and employees in 2007 to make contributions he had promised to Reid while concealing himself as the true source to skirt campaign finance laws.

haha... I got a lot to say today. Or more appropriately the news has a lot to say.

I am following protocol in all cases BTW. If you would like to report me please feel free.

It's pretty funny that you didn't speak to the actual article. You are more out of line than I am in this instance.
