The thought plickens!

Kind of ironic that Murtha has supported the National Drug Intelligence Center in his district with federal money and another company (Kuchera Industries) he supports with earmarks and contracts seems to have had drug money pumped into it.

Murtha Watch Ping!

Code Pinkos

To be added to the Murtha Watch ping list please notify myself or RedRover.

While it doesn’t look like Kuchera Industries was founded with drug money it looks like it had an infusion of it during its early years.

It doesn't surprise me that Murtha is somehow involved in monkey business that is soiled throughout. He needs to be “capped” (break his kneecaps) and traded to....Africa. He is a crook.

[jazusamo]

Yes it does and there’s more to think about if this is true.

1. Did the drug dealers launder money through this company also?

2. Does the govt. know that this company was partially started with drug money?

3. Can the govt. seize all of Kuchera’s assets seeing as this company was partially started with drug money?

Hopefully the investigative reporters will find these things out shorty. It’s fairly certain the fed investigation won’t be releasing this info very soon.

It appears that this is the tip of an iceberg.

The forfeiture issue is a good one. Can the govt. seize assets as drug money went into this company?

Does anyone have the answer?? Seems to me that assets should be seized if the Govt. can get the proof.

The answers to those questions are over my head but there are attorneys here at FR and I’d like to see some comments from them.

The IRS needs to look at Murtha’s spending habits to see if he is speding more than his salary.....Same goes for the founders of Acorn, The Sandfers, Soros etc. Use the old Al Capone methods!

[Sathya]

I wonder if Murtha is getting envelops kicked up to him. No!! He would not do that. Oh, I forgot about the abscam tape.

I don’t know what else to do but laugh.

We the People need to appoint a czar to deal with DC.....The Czar of Zot.

[LuxMaker]

Why? They will just get Department of Justice positions and so on and so forth.

[Chode]

Who am I... and WHY AM I HERE???

ohh, yeah...
THE PORK!!!

What was unclear was whether Mr. Kuchera's narcotics conviction should have precluded him or his company from receiving a security clearance that would enable the firm to perform defense work.

May 31, 2009 ... "He's the best of the best of the best in the world," said Mr. Kuchera. "There ain't nobody better than Mr. Murtha."

[hoosiermama]

You won’t find the money in his bank account....Freezer or off shore account.....But if the IRS were to examine his spending habits...Including things that he paid case for, I’d bet the has more going out than officially coming in.

An excellent post, Smooth, so appropriate.

Birds of a feather!

An interesting thought. The fed investigation that’s ongoing is the FBI, DOD and the IRS. If they investigate Murtha as well as the other companies the IRS just might find something.
