...and you know who the Big Boss at the WH is...
One of the subjects broached by Mrs. Clinton is said to be her demand Harry Reid not remain a member of the Senate after 2016.
This claim comes from Hill staffers with knowledge of rumors linking Reid’s recent announcement to retire with the Clinton Machine’s desire he do so.
Reid was willing to ignore the Clinton’s demand.
He was apparently not willing to ignore that same demand when it came directly from Valerie Jarrett’s office, indicating Jarrett and Clinton made an agreement to ensure this happened.
What each might be paying the other to push out the current Senate Minority Leader is unknown, but it is likely significant. (Reid has been a much closer ally to the Obama White House than the Clintons. His likely Senate Minority Leader replacement, Chuck Schumer, is very close to both Bill and Hillary Clinton.)

: Scott wrote here about Harry Reid’s announcement that he will

: New Year’s Day, in Las Vegas: multiple broken bones around
: his right eye, damage to the right eye, severe facial
: bruising, broken ribs, and a concussion. Was all of this
: really the result of losing his balance because an elastic

: Anyone who saw Reid would say that he looked like he had been

: When a guy shows up at a Las Vegas emergency room on New

: averted its eyes from Reid’s condition, and has refused to
: investigate the cause of his injuries. To my knowledge,
: every Washington reporter has at least pretended to believe
: Reid’s story, and none, as far as I can tell, has inquired
: further.
: This hasn’t stopped people from wondering what happened. Every
: day, thousands of people Google “What happened to Harry

: more than 90,000 such searchers have found their way to my

: A friend of mine was in Las Vegas a week or two ago. He talked
: to a number of people there about Reid’s accident, and
: didn’t find anyone who believed the elastic exercise band
: story. The common assumption was that the incident
: resulted, in some fashion, from Reid’s relationship with
: organized crime. The principal rumor my friend heard was
: that Reid had promised to obtain some benefit for a group
: of mobsters. He met with them on New Year’s Day, and broke
: the bad news that he hadn’t been able to deliver what he
: promised. When the mobsters complained, Reid (according to
: the rumor) made a comment that they considered
: disrespectful, and one of them beat him up.
: Is that what really happened? I have no idea, but it is a more
: likely story than the elastic exercise band yarn.
: What happened to Reid is not just a matter of curiosity.
: Everyone knows that the Reid family has gotten rich, even
: though Reid has spent his entire career as a public
: employee. It is known that a considerable part of his
: fortune came from being cut in on sweetheart Las Vegas land
: deals that included at least one person associated with
: organized crime as a principal. Was the Senate Majority
: Leader in the pocket of the Mafia? That seems like a
: question worth exploring, and yet, to my knowledge, not a
: single investigative reporter has chosen to look into the
: matter, even with the obvious clue of Reid’s face in front
: of them.
: The deliberate blindness of Democratic Party reporters hasn’t
: stopped people from speculating about what really happened
: to Harry Reid, but so far, at least, it has prevented the
: story from exploding into a major scandal.
