Lori Holland shared Conservative Tribunes photo. 4 hrs · 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. The Salt Lake Tribune points out that Johnson has no way of knowing whether the funds actually made it to Reid, even if he did make a massive payment to Reid’s alleged intermediary. [...] Then, with the FTC investigation continuing, Johnson said Swallow suggested Reid could make problems with regulators go away — for a price. “I said, ‘OK, what do I need to do?’ He’s like, ‘OK, it costs money,’ ” Johnson said, who claimed Swallow was adamant he make a deal. “I think he told me, ‘Richard Rawle has a connection with Harry Reid,’ ” Johnson said. He said Swallow at first wanted $2 million to enlist Reid’s help. But [his company] I Works was no longer profitable and he did not have the money, Johnson said, so they eventually agreed on $300,000 upfront and $300,000 later. Of course, these are only allegations, but they’re certainly worth looking into. Reid needs to be investigated by the Senate Ethics Committee as well as the FBI for his history of corruption. Of course, with Democrats in power, this is unlikely to happen, and Reid’s reign of corruption will likely continue.
