Harry: Money Mob And Influence In Harry Reid's Nevada 5th Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781511487825)

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's connections to money, mob and influence in Nevada going back fifty years (Sixth Expanded Edition). Revelations from Reid's first campaign manager and others paints a picture of a politician taking money on the side. Most shocking is the polygraph backed claim that Harry Reid took unreported donations from pimp Joe Conforte of the Mustang Ranch brothel in the years leading up to Reid's time on the Nevada Gaming Commission. Conforte's links to mob figures like Jimmy 'the Weasel' Fratianno and Johnny Simone mean the mob knew Reid was on the take. Also disturbing are accounts of Reid's long friendship with a lawyer (mob nickname "old Brown package") to many of the most notorious strip clubs in Las Vegas - some of whose owners just did jail time for bribery and were Reid's political proteges. Oscar Goodman, former Las Vegas Mayor and lawyer to the mob also enters the picture. Sweetheart treatment of land deals, multi-billions of dollars of grants siphoned by billionaires Elon Musk and Warren Buffett, provide a disheartening tale of American political decay.
