NV-GOV: Laxalt withheld criminal record from State Bar

Turns out, Republican governor candidate Adam Laxalt should’ve disclosed all of his arrests on his initial application to practice law in Nevada.

That’s according to attorneys with the State Bar of Nevada, the public corporation that regulates Nevada attorneys. They say Laxalt, now the state’s top law enforcement officer, was required to divulge his 1996 juvenile arrest on suspicion of assaulting a police officer.

Laxalt last month told the Reno Gazette Journal that he told the bar about a 1997 DUI arrest, but was not required to report the 1996 incident.

Brian Kunzi, the bar’s director of admissions, disagreed.

I proof read a vanity press auto biography maybe 45 years ago written by a wealthy mentally off driver, who wrote about many instances of bribery by his Nevada senator employer. I posted this saying it was Paul Laxalt. I never spoke about this before, many decades ago. But on further reflection I am now sure it was former Senator McCarron, not Laxalt. I did not want anyone who read my original post before I self deleted it to repeat my error. The driver did not have the mental skill to know he was incriminating his employer. I was told the drivers mom basically owned Reno long ago so she could get a job for her son and the son could pay the vanity press.

..."Laxalt has one of the most unusual pedigrees in American politics: He’s the grandson of Paul Laxalt, the former senator and Ronald Reagan confidant once known as “the first friend”—still, at 91, casting a long if not always visible shadow in Nevada politics. Awkwardly, young Laxalt is also the illegitimate son of Sen. Pete Domenici, his grandfather’s longtime Senate colleague. In fact, it was only last year that Adam Laxalt’s mother Michelle, a 24-year-old Reagan operative at the time of the affair and now a well-known Washington lobbyist, revealed her son’s parentage for the first time, a sensational revelation that almost certainly had the effect of clearing the way for his political career.".....
