And His Name is . . .

An aide to Sen. Harry Reid (R-NV) made substantial claims about the identity of the senator's source in the Romney tax issue.

Jose Parra said in a radio interview with KTLK in Los Angeles, "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."

After some media scrutiny about the claim, Parra later retracted some of his remarks.   Parra later issued a statement walking back most of his radio comments.

"I do not know the party affiliation of the source, how long he invested with Bain, or his relationship to Romney beyond the fact that he was an investor with Bain Capital, as Senator Reid has previously stated," he said.

This morning another Reid aide said that the senator has no plans to reveal additional information about the source.  A source that by any standards could be fictitious or a campaign director to Reid.
