HARRY REID UPDATE:

Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid said this week that he is in discussions with the Senate ethics committee to determine whether he should amend his financial disclosure forms to include details of a Nevada real estate transaction that allowed him to collect $1.1 million.

Reid sought the opinion after The Associated Press reported Wednesday that the senator didn’t disclose to Congress that he sold some land to a friend’s company in 2001 and took an ownership stake in the company. He didn’t collect the seven-figure payout until the company sold the land in 2004.

Frank James, meanwhile, thinks that Reid is being treated unfairly. Investor’s Business Daily disagrees.

Some media outlets are getting questions from their readers about why the story hasn’t gotten more attention. Seems to me that the questions here could be settled with a little bit of reporting, if anyone wanted to do that.
