A Utah businessman is rocking both state and national politics after claiming Utah Attorney General John Swallow helped him broker a deal with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to make a federal investigation into his company quietly disappear, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Jeremy Johnson was allegedly told that the price would be $600,000, and claims to have made an initial payment of $250,000 when he was slapped with a federal lawsuit. Now he says he wants his money back.

Please let this story have legs!

If true I'd like to see Harry Reid move out of the Ritz Carlton and into the state penitentiary.

I believe it's true, but making it stick is another thing.

Oh, my...

There have been several pushes recently looking to check into Reid's family finances. We can only hope it's the beginning of the end...

Let us not forget the campaign money that went to buy jewelry, and his son's lobbying gig.

Fingers crossed.

Who will Eric Holder assign to the case?

Himself. And he sees not even a smidgen of corruption or wrongdoing.

Even if true, I don't have any expectations that he will be prosecuted or removed from office.

He has wide latitude in deciding what, and what not, to prosecute... :sad20:

This was published in the Blaze 1/12/13 - if it has not found legs by now, unless something else drops I doubt it will.

Folks this guy may be trying to get a plea by offering to turn states evidence. It may be money good... it may be crap...

Watch and wait.

With Holder as AG and Obama as president..... Nothing will come of it.

Just remember his replacement could be much worse on 2A issues.

Only one way to find out.

Not likely. But he or she will not be as senior. One valid concern is who will rise to the leadership. And the extent to which gun control is not the issue that takes him out...

March 2014, the DOJ won't allow the charges to go to a grand jury...
