After days of silence on Harry Reid’s disputed claim that Mitt Romney hasn’t paid taxes for a decade, a top aide finally spilled details on the supposed source of the allegation — only to issue a wholesale retraction of those details by Thursday evening.
Reid aide Jose Parra first made the claims in an interview on Los Angeles’ KTLK radio, defending his boss’ decision to trumpet the tax charge last week on the Senate floor and explaining a bit about the source.
“This person is an investor in Bain Capital, a Republican also, and somebody … who has been dealing with Romney’s company for a long, long time and he has direct knowledge on this,” Parra said.
Parra’s statement comes after Romney, in an interview with Fox News, challenged Reid to identify his source.
However, after some media attention on Parra’s radio interview, Parra issued a statement taking those remarks back.

I believe dirty Harry Reid (Archdevil of the Senate) and his aide are filthy liars just like obozo is. Does PINOCCHIO come to mind? How dare Reid and obozo accuse Romney of being a felon when they are the most guilty-in-politics of being felons. Both obozo and Reid have committed highly treasonous crimes against America. Yet, they point the finger at Romney. Reid has no evidence of Romney not paying his taxes for ten years. Reid is the eiptome of liars.
I think Reid owes it to us to have ALL information on his Illegal Business and Land dealings…. Come on Reid you Filthy old man put it out there NOW
Can anyone see the IRS letting anyone go for 10 years without paying taxes? Reid is such a liar. I wouldn’t doubt that Obama was behind him putting out that lie. Harry Reid is Obama’s patsy. What an idiot. Add Nancy Pelosi to the list of patsys’. She is telling everyone she hears voices of Susan B. Anthony. What a loon.
I think we should look into the whore houses in Nye county,Reid was going to shut them all down till his name come up as one of the best custermers they ever had, Then Reid drop it like a hot Patato He Back off reall quick when his name came out, So can you really trust a Persom who has commites High Crimes and is Backing an Illegal cimmie muslin Alien and everybody know that Odumbo, Holder,Clinton,Reid , and Valerie Jerratt was behind the Fast and ferious , Two Border agents Killed 800 Mexican people Killed, no to talk about the Killing in Aurora Colo and the other kiling Like the one at the Air Force Base with thatt commie Muslim and nothing has been dont to him either cause the Judge said they wont hold a court Hearing till he sahaves his Brad off what a moron Judge Try the SOB and the Kill the BASTARD that shoot unarmed men AT the base
