Murtha...when Kennedy dies, this hump will become the unholiest asshat in the business...and with the current libs, that is saying a LOT...
Murtha.........crooked.......imagine that? But as usual, nothing will come of it because of the “D” behind his name. Those D’s can do no wrong.
funny, the fbi raided curt weldon’s office two weeks before his
last election. say, whatever became of that? i guess once he lost,
the fbi lost interest.
Maybe Murtha can share a cell with his favored Guantanamo prisoners.
ping! Did yunz see this?
Federal agents raided
the offices of a Western Pennsylvania defense contractor that has received millions in federal earmarks
at the request of Rep. John Murtha,
according to local media reports. The offices of Kuchera Industries and Kuchera Defense Systems were shuttered for the day following the raids, the chief financial officer told the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat. The companies' phone system says they will open again Friday morning, and e-mails sent to top company officials went unanswered. Based in Windber, Pa., just outside Johnstown, Kuchera won $8.2 million in federal defense earmarks in the 2008 budget.
The earmarks came at the request of Murtha (D-Pa.).
Murtha's spokesman declined to comment, and an agent in the FBI's Pittsburgh office did not return calls seeking clarification."

Nonprofit Connects Murtha, Lobbyists

For a quarter of a century, Carmen Scialabba labored for Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.), helping parcel out the billions of dollars that came through the House Appropriations Committee, so when the disabled aide needed a favor, Murtha was there.
In 2001, Murtha announced the creation of Scialabba’s nonprofit agency for the disabled in Johnstown, Pa. The next year, with Scialabba still on his staff, Murtha secured a half-million dollars for the group, the Pennsylvania Association for Individuals With Disabilities (PAID), and put another $150,000 in the pipeline for 2003, according to appropriations committee records and former committee aides. Since then, the group has helped hundreds of disabled people find work.
But the group serves another function as well. PAID has become a gathering point for defense contractors and lobbyists with business before Murtha’s defense appropriations subcommittee, and for Pennsylvania businesses and universities that have thrived on federal money obtained by Murtha....(/snip)
