***"Do you mean when he teamed up with Randy Cummingham to pressure the DoD into spending over $9,000,000 on a digital archiving contract for Panama Canal Zone documents that the Army did not what, that the GAO says took funds away from other projects?"***

You keep trying to sling that same mud. Hunter was not afraid to have all the records reviewed by a group of bi-partisan committee lawyers. He initiated the review.


---Although Cunningham did not serve on the House Armed Services Committee, its chairman, Duncan Hunter, R-Alpine, has ordered a review of its records by committee lawyers from both parties to see if there were any attempts by Cunningham to influence the panel's actions.

So far, the staffers have not found any improper action.---

Also, Hunter was one of many lawmakers that the company made donations to and Hunter was among the few who gave the donations to charity.

Reports were published that Hunter and Cunningham promoted the programs in opposition to the Pentagon, but Hunter has produced two letters to the Pentagon where he asked them to use their own judgement in the matter.

LOL! I'm sure he pressured the Army to throw over $9,000,000 away to a campaign contributor of his to digitally archived records regarding the Panama Canal zone, records the Army didn't think import and didn't want to convert, out of a pure sense of conservatism and national defense.
