You’d never know it from the mainstream media puff pieces of Harry Reid’s sudden retirement, but it was a long string of corruption scandals—including a recent one involving his attorney son—that drove the veteran Nevada senator to abruptly leave public office.

For nearly a decade Judicial Watch has investigated and exposed Reid’s involvement in a multitude of transgressions and JW even warned the Senate Ethics Committee, but not surprisingly, no action was ever taken. On multiple occasions the Senate minority leader appeared on JW’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” list for his role in a number of political scandals that got more serious as his seniority and clout in Congress increased.

Being a politician is a license to steal. They all have under the table deals going on, and the public pretends not to know. We get the government we deserve.
 
no one has posted about Benghazi lately, either. and how about Tom Daschle? We're still supposed to be mad about him, too, right? Didn't he stand on a box once or something?

Yet not a single indictment
