It was just a little crooked.
"Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid announced Monday he is amending his ethics reports to Congress to more fully account for a land deal that allowed him to collect $1.1 million for property he hadn't personally owned for three years.Noting that there might be a few other small discrepancies in his ethics reports, Reid said: "I believe in ensuring all facts come to light." Sure, Harry, now that you've been caught.
Reid acted several days after The Associated Press reported the senator didn't disclose to Congress that he first sold the land to a friend's company back in 2001 and took an ownership stake in the company. He didn't collect the seven-figure payout until the company sold the land again in 2004 to others.
Reid said his amended ethics reports will list the 2001 sale."
