UH OH: EXCLUSIVE: Aide to Harry Reid Lied to Feds, Submitted False Documents About Sham Marriage. Well, this should spice things up between now and the election. “An aide to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid repeatedly lied to federal immigration and FBI agents and submitted false federal documents to the Department of Homeland Security to cover up her illegal seven-year marriage to a Lebanese national who was the subject of an Oklahoma City Joint Terror Task Force investigation, FoxNews.com has learned. . . . According to interviews and court records obtained by FoxNews.com, Tejada knowingly filed false documents with the Department of Homeland Security?s U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services; lied in in-person interviews with ICE and FBI agents; and submitted fraudulent visa application affidavits and marriage license documents ? all in attempt to use her status as an American citizen to get Tarhini permanent residency.”

UPDATE: Reader C.J. Burch writes: “Uhm, haven’t normal American citizens been prosecuted for much less?” Why, yes, yes they have. But she’s an aide to Harry Reid. Laws, like taxes, are for the little people.

ANOTHER UPDATE: A reader emails: “A democrat’s Latina aide lying about a sham marriage between her and a suspected Muslim terrorist? One thing is for sure; NPR analysts should not touch this story with a ten foot pole.” Heh. Indeed.
