Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took $31,000 in late 2013 from his campaign funds to buy jewelry for his granddaughter Ryan Elisabeth Reid's wedding. In his campaign year-end report, Reid tried to hide his granddaughter's relationship to him by simply listing the transaction as a "holiday gift" to one "Ryan Elisabeth." The impression Reid sought to convey was that he was buying gifts for his supporters. When it came to light that Reid had funneled campaign money to his granddaughter, Reid agreed to repay the money, but waxed indignant at continuing questions from reporters. "As a grandparent," he fumed, "I say enough is enough." Although Reid's case involves obvious corruption, the Obama administration has neither investigated nor prosecuted a case against this stalwart Obama ally.6
