Great work by Fedora over at Free Republic in a series of articles exposing the fancy financing footwork of Senator Harry Reid. Revealed are Reid’s connections to the mob, the Searchlight Leadership Fund, and Mr. Norman Hsu. Hsu, as you know, is currently under investigation in a fundraising scandal that also involves several other prominent democrats.
The last of Fedoras five part series, “Caught in the Searchlight: Hsu, Reid, and the Searchlight leadership Fund, shows well-researched connections to Hsu and Searchlight. The series also exposes Reids mob connections and ties to the gambling industry, lobbyists, including Jack Abramoff, and the mob. Even Old Blue Eyes makes an appearance in this fascinating tale of political intriguebut Senator Reid remains the scandal ridden star:
Fugitive fundraiser Norman Hsus donations to Hillary Clinton have understandably grabbed the limelight, but there is another story lurking in the shadows of the affair. Federal Election Commission documents record that on May 17, 2007, Hsu donated $1,000 to the Searchlight Leadership Fund, a political action committee associated with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. On the same day, Searchlight received a $1,000 contribution from Winkle Paw, described by Hsus lawyer as a business associate of Hsu. Also donating $1,000 to Searchlight that day was Paul Su of Dilini Management Group, a company Hsu listed on a form while making a political contribution to Senator Dianne Feinstein. *** These donations to Searchlight expose a funding conduit reaching to the heart of Harry Reids political machine. The financial trail stretches back to Reids hometown, his longtime business associate Jay Brown, and his Nevada gambling industry patrons; and it connects the Hsu affair to scandal-ridden lobbyists William Oldaker and Jack Abramoff, Reids financial consigliere Claude Zobell, and a political action committee targeting freshmen Congressmen.
