What did Harry Reid know and when did he know it?

But as the story of the Bundy Ranch made it through the media in the last few days, disturbing questions began to be raised. In 2011, attorney Rory Reid, son of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, went to China and returned with a new client — ENN Energy. ENN wanted to build a solar-powered energy plant in Clark County. Amazingly, Clark County commissioners voted to sell ENN a 9,000-acre tract for $4.5 million. The appraised value of the land was $38 million. As the Bundy Ranch saga unfurled, a lot of questions began to be raised in the conservative blogosphere. There were accusations that the Bundy Ranch and the area the Bundys use to graze their cattle are in an area called the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone. If the cattle continued to use the area, it would be impossible to use the land for a solar energy installation. The current head of the Bureau of Land Management is Neil Kornze, who was hand-picked by Harry Reid. Until 2011, Kornze was on Harry Reid’s Senate staff. All of this raises a fascinating, if circumstantial, case. It is a case that merits investigation. There are many questions that need to be asked. Such as, who ordered the initial raid? Why did Clark County sell land to ENN at far below its fair value? Who ordered the BLM show of force? Why did the BLM impose a no-fly zone over the Bundy Ranch so the media could not get video or photographs of what was going on? Rep. Darryl Issa has shown no reluctance in investigating wrongdoing by the administration, and his staff should be working on subpoenas today. While the House of Representatives can’t compel Harry Reid to testify, it can bring in everyone from the BLM, and that is exactly what should be done...more
