Jack Anderson Chillicothe Constitution-Tribune, Wednesday, August 6, 1980
Excerpts
"I want to deal with you guys awhile before I make any transactions at all, period," he told them, "After we've done some business, well, then I might change my mind."
Still, he wanted them to understand that he was the best man in Congress the sheik could acquire "I'm going to tell you this, if anybody can do it, I'm not BS-ing you fellows, I can get it done my way," he boasted "There's no question about it."
"All at once," he said, "some dumb (expletive deleted) would go start talking eight years from now about the whole thing and say (expletive deleted), this happened. Then in order to get immunity so he doesn't go to jail, he starts talking and fingering people. So the (SOB) falls apart."
"You give us the banks where you want the money deposited," offered one of the bagmen.
"All right," agreed Murtha "How much money are we talking about?"
"Well, you tell me"
"Well, let me find out what is a reasonable figure that will get their attention," said Murtha, "because there are a couple of banks that have really done me some favors in the past, and I'd like to put some money in."
Later Murtha asked again how much the sheik might be willing to deposit in a bank the congressman would designate. "Oh," said Amoroso, "I think a million dollars." The figure aroused new enthusiasm in Murtha.
Murtha emphasized again how influential he was "I'll be quite honest with you," he confided "I've got as much influence in that (expletive deleted) Congress with the leadership and the White House as anybody in Congress. I went to the ball game with the President. There were three of us me, Tip (Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill) and that was it. So I've got as much influence, and I know as much about the (expletive deleted) workings--you're not going to have any trouble."
SBD
LOOK what SBD1 found!!!
What a potty mouth. And an egomaniac.
The conscience of the senate
That's really worth a read. Some eye-opening stuff in there. So Murtha has been corrupt from the start in Congress. And he knew how to avoid getting stung. Looks like he already had experience. I think ABSCAM needs another airing. Thank you very much!
Good job!
Much worse Peach. He's an Ex-marine and a man without honor.
Well look at this.
Isn;t it amazing what the pajama clad people find on the internet.
This is about to become hell on earth for this vile POS Murtha.
Whoa!
SBD:
You need to send this to Diana Irey's campaign so she can cook Murtha's goose once and for all.
Please bump and ping this.
Why isn't that guy in jail?
Still probably too many morons in Murtha's district who would vote for him even if he committed murder on live TV. But Irey should keep swinging.
Not only does Murtha have a filthy mouth but he seemed pretty impressed with himself and his "influence." He was only a 3-term incumbent at that point. Hardly a lot of seniority. Thought it was so great that he attended a baseball game with the president. Just a few months later that pathetic President Carter was thrown out on his behind. What a joy that was.
Of course he should be in jail, but I'll settle for retirement to Johnstown
The print on the Jack Anderson article is awfully small, but it is dynamite. This need disseminated!
Time for another search warrant. I wonder how many shredders Murtha has in his office now.
Because he is a Democrat.
For a Democrat to face consequences requires something extraordinary or stupid:
Someone's Death (Gary Condit) or:
Voting Republican for Speaker (Traficant)
You're right about too many morons voting for him no matter what. Also, you will never see this article reprinted in the Johnstown Democrat-Tribune. In fact, if Irey had an ad made with these quotes in it I doubt that the paper would run the ad. Some one should look into who or how many associated with that paper are Murtha campaign contributors.
"Thought it was so great that he attended a baseball game with the president. Just a few months later that pathetic President Carter was thrown out on his behind. What a joy that was."
This makes Murtha more dangerous in my eyes. Carter hand picked people for the CIA, State, FBI, Justice and in congress to help him weaken America for the gain of the Communists and Islamofascists.
