WASHINGTON -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the suggestion that he intervened to have Nevada Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki indicted was “absolute fiction.”
Krolicki, a Republican who faces four felony counts for his role overseeing a state scholarship fund during his tenure as Nevada’s treasurer, has maintained that the investigation by the state’s Democratic Attorney General was politically motivated, influenced by Reid.
Krolicki was considering running against Reid when the senator stands for re-election in 2010.
“This is just absolute fiction,” Reid said today in Washington. “I would not do anything like that. That’s unethical.”
Reid bristled at even being asked about his potential involvement. “It’s kind of insulting to have to answer the question,” he said.
“I don’t know what the indictment is about and I don’t care,” he said. “It’s not good for the state of Nevada that he was indicted.”
Now Reid and the Democrats want Brian Krolicki brought down.
"This is just absolute fiction," Reid said today in Washington. "I would not do anything like that. That's unethical."
Reid bristled at even being asked about his potential involvement. "It's kind of insulting to have to answer the question," he said.
Senator Harry Reid and Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto are saying that the publically known education accounts are "False Accounts" hence must be a misappropriation and falsification in accordance with NRS 204.30, 204.050.
Nothing in these laws can be construed to apply to the situation.
How can it be misappropriation and falsification when everybody knew and allowed that it could happen?
This is Harry Reid who thinks everybody but him "stinks" demanding Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto to abuse her prosecutorial discretion
The last Nevada Attorney General provided guidance on the process, hence should he be charged under NRS 195.020,
The legislative branch knew everything that was done on a daily basis while it was happening and did nothing, hence should they be charged under NRS 195.020,
Governor Guinn knew everything that was done on a daily basis while it was happening and did nothing, hence should he be charged under NRS 195.020,
I followed this story in the press. The press doesn't spell out a quid pro quo for Krolicki.
I read the audit. The audit doesn't speculate on motive.
Krolicki lawyered up and won't talk.
The grand jury is secret.
Would someone please articulate, for my benefit, a evil motive for what Krolicki did.
The whole out of state shuffle of money seems far to complicated to have been done for the purpose of generating advertisments to boost Krolicki's name recognition and fulfill his future political aspirations.
If I were to divert money from a Walmart cash register, I would not turn around and give it to my friends to promote my political aspirations. I would put it in off shore bank accounts or purchase hookers.
Help me out.
The bean counters who wrote the audit findings bored me to tears.
Harry Reid did the audit. Harry Reid was the grand jury. Harry Reid was every employee in the state treasurer's office. Harry Reid was every employee in the attorney general's office. Harry Reid got Brian Krolicki elected. Harry Reid made him do it. Harry Reid controls his every move.
I don't know who sounds goofier, Krolicki or the people who believe his whiny paranoia/rationalization.
Does Harry Reid like anyone, or does he just hate America in general?
Lucky for us vilate has access to all the information the grand jury used to indict Krolicki. Oh wait, he doesn't...
Grow up, people. Brian Krolicki did what he did and he needs to answer for it, whether what he did was wrong or not.
You people are totally stupid. Your commments are immature. What you are alluding to is that when a Democrat AG is in office, no Republicans can be prosecuted because it is partisan. So is the reverse going to be true? When a Republican AG is in office, no Democrats will be prosecuted or it will be considered partisan? No, I think the rule has been when a Republican AG is in office, no Republican fat cats can be prosecuted. Krolicki did these alleged activities WHILE WE HAD REPUBLICAN AGS!!!
Grow the Feck up!
hey krolicki .... ever got your ---- pushed in. yeah, your ---- pushed in....

"Does Harry Reid like anyone, or does he just hate America in general?"
He loves everyone except people who fly Boeing 737 200s and 300s. Personally, I think anyone flying anything less than an 800 is a wimp.
Who benefitted economically for what Krolicki allegedly did? All the reports say Krolicki didn't make any money out of the deal....so who benefitted? Anybody know?
A Democrat gets caught giving himself a 30% illegal raise......nothing happens.
Nope.....no politics involved in who gets indicted in Nevada.
Loux has an appearance in front of the ethics board next month.
It's funny that some would try to spin a 2 year investigation as a sudden response to announcing a possible challenge to Reid.
And no, it's obvious, with the indictment and guilty verdicts of Kenny, Herrera, etc. that ONLY Republicans get indicted in Nevada.
I actually like Krolicki (met him a few times) but I do have to say that to simply dismiss this as a political vendetta is wrong. As much as it pains me to say it, a political figure does not get a grand jury to indict you purely on politics, there's got to be some evidence or case against him. Maybe he's innocent, as this progresses we'll get to know.
Ethics board.....LOL
He committed a crime and should be indicted.
It is that simple.
And he did it to enriched himself.
Kenny, Herrera were indicted by the Feds not state or local entities.
The only officals that get indicted by the state or by the county are Republicans.
They got Loux redhanded with his arm deep into the cookie jar.
They tons of evidence and a clear violation of state law.
No indictment because he is a Democrat and a FOR ----- Friend of Reid.
Moronic. Look he didn't say Americans stink. He didn't even say tourists in general stink. Reid said IN SUMMER, the tourists stink. That's because these people walk around the capitol, and it's summer. That means it's in the 90s with 100% humidity. I've been there. You will sweat your butt off. I can only imagine a bunch of tourists tromping around the Capitol Building. After a point it has to smell a little like a lockerroom. But the end of his statement which you right wingers hate to look at said, "Because of the new AC system, that will no longer be a problem."
Jesus you right wingers can latch onto anything.
