Something brewing in Utah

From The Salt Lake Tribune:
Indicted businessman ties Swallow to alleged scheme
Embattled St. George businessman Jeremy Johnson says new Utah Attorney General John Swallow helped broker a deal in 2010 in which Johnson believed he was to pay Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid $600,000 to make a federal investigation into Johnson�s company go away.

But when the federal government filed a lawsuit Johnson thought he had paid to quash, he demanded Swallow return some of the $250,000 initial payment. Then, just days before the Nov. 6 election, Johnson engaged in a frenetic but unsuccessful effort to get Swallow to drop out of the race, saying information about what Johnson called a "bribe" would come out and force the Republican�s resignation if he became attorney general.
Bidness as usual only if we let them get away with it. Vote them out. Posted by DaveH at January 12, 2013 9:00 AM
