Murtha and the FBI: The Director's Cut
The American Spectator ^ | September 29, 2006 | David Holman

Posted on 09/28/2006 9:54:16 PM PDT by Interesting Times

For more than 26 years, Congressman John P. "Jack" Murtha (D-Penn.) has not been truthful about his involvement in Abscam, court records and the complete video of his meeting with the FBI show.

In recent years, only a 13-second video of Murtha's videotaped meeting with the FBI agents was publicly available. TAS has obtained a copy of the full, original video from a source close to the Abscam investigation on the condition of anonymity. The court transcript is publicly available at the National Archives. (Too see the full video, click here. For a transcript of the meeting, click here.)

Irey is the only candidate I'm giving to this election cycle. I won't even give to my own rep (Sherwood, PA-10) because he's a putz (but I'll hold my nose and vote for him).

I'd love to see Irey send Murtha packing.

One of the best books on what was happening during that period. It also give you a real perspective on Afghanistan and how we got to where we are today.

IIRC, the Murtha-Abscam connection has already been on GOP candidate Diana Irey's web sites for some time now and she issued at least one press release about it.

I propose new rules that require a gratuitous posting of Diana Irey's photo on a post that mentions her name...

Good idea, except that I lack the necessary software. I'm sure she's the hottest looking woman running for Congress anywhere in the country, BTW.

Thanks for info. . .guess there is no 'breath-holding' waiting for MSM to take note here. But will check out TAS for sure. . .

New rules? You're about half a year too late.

"Major new development on the Murtha front..."

You know very well the MSM is going to ignore anything negative about "Okinawa" Murtha. He hates Bush so much he's become a god in their Pantheon.

You're probably right. But in the end it doesn't matter if America sees and/or hears about this full tape. What matters is that the PA-12 voters see and hear about it. Which is what Boot Murtha hopes to do, if enough people help out.

Just about every democrat has the dream of destroying America's traditions and turning it into a marxist state.

Correct! For those that do not know what Marx stood for, that would be COMMUNISM!

I can't vote for Irey so I'm doing the next best thing and giving a few dollars, $25, $50 at a time. I wish I could give more.

I'd love to make it to a rally but I doubt that I can. Please put me on an Irey ping list if you have one. I want to keep up with the latest Diana Irey news.
