Murtha has a long history of ethical problems.
Looks like this was written solely for readers fully familiar with the allegations and details of a “shadow conspiracy.” As is stands now, the piece makes little, if any, sense.
I have no problem with conspiracy theories (and in fact give most good ones their due) but in the case of Winter, I have to take the Arcum’s Razor approach - - I think Winter is simply the cowardly, incompetent political hack he appears to be.

SOS Bump !
A loyal American who would carry a grudge against the kind of turds who would prosecute our Marines without cause -- except for the money involved...
Wouldn't it be terrific if ALL the scum involved in this fraudulent prosecution ended up destroyed financially, publicly, socially and personally as they deserve and the public honor of the persecuted Marines is totally reinstated. (Their genuine, personal honor is intrinsic and cannot be taken from them by poseurs and traitors.)
Good piece, Darryl.
While I’ve always been leary of conspiracy theories I believe it’s more than just a possibility in this case.
With murtha’s history of corruption and being tied in closely with defense contractors over the years as a Congressman and Winter being a major player in defense companies for so long, it’s a certainty there paths have crossed.
They both have gone out of their way to persecute these Marines. Murtha shot off his big mouth months before the investigation was completed. Winter refused to take any action against NCIS agents and supervisors that clearly screwed up according to NCIS agent testimony under oath in the hearings.
Also, there were sixty five or so agents assigned to the investigation, the largest investigation in the history of NCIS and Winter is the head man.
I’m not saying for certain that a conspiracy took place but enough coincidenses exist to point to the posibility. With Murtha’s lack of integrity and the fact Winter didn’t care about the lack of professionalism in the NCIS adds to that possibility, IMO.
I think it’s highly likely that Winter and Murtha are acquaintances, at the very least, but one doesn’t have to even talk about a conspiracy to note that the SecNav has a strong motivation to avoid pissing off someone in Murtha’s position...... especially someone known to be as unbalanced, vicious, corrupt, and vindictive as John Murtha. So, it would take a very strong and conscientious SecNav to defy what he knows Murtha wants, and I’m not at all sure we have that in our current SecNav based upon what we’ve seen in the lack of proper oversight of NCIS, etc.
