RENO, Nev. (AP) — Las Vegas police have confirmed they are investigating allegations of corruption in the Nevada Legislature involving an extortion attempt aimed at a Republican assemblyman who has drawn criticism from more conservative lawmakers.
Assemblyman Chris Edwards of Las Vegas was identified as the alleged victim in the case in a statement released Saturday by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Intelligence Section.
Detectives served a search warrant Saturday morning at a Las Vegas residence as part of an investigation that began in December when Edwards was "approached about changing his official vote for Assembly speaker," police said.
"This is an ongoing investigation, and no arrests have been made at this time," the statement said. "No other details are available at this time."

This bastards come up with ridiculous and treasonous bilge water like this:
