As cover for not going after and bringing down Harry Reid like a tiger slaying a wildebeest, but nonetheless:
D.C. super lawyer Cleta Mitchell fired back Friday evening at reports that Senator Mike Lee has gotten tangled up in a corruption probe along with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.You know what this means, of course: Mitchell was in on Senator Lee's "scam". Or did I just give away the Obamedia's next story in this ersatz saga?
“I think this is a smear,” Mitchell told Newsmax, “and you can quote me on that. I think this is a smear. Mike Lee is as honest as the day is long.”
A well-known figure in conservative politics, Mitchell advised Lee on the short-sale of his former Alpine, Utah home. That transaction is at the center of what she sees as a transparent attempt to impugn Lee’s reputation.
“He talked to me at the time to make sure that he didn’t break any rules, that whatever he did was done completely in accordance not just with the rules and the law, but to make sure there was no appearance of impropriety,” she stated.
Brian Phillips, Lee’s communications director, issued a one-sentence statement Friday regarding the latest developments as reported by Washington Times editor and vice president John Solomon.
"The article doesn't present any new information about the senator and, as it relates to his house, the senator filed all the required documentation,” Phillips stated.
