Wow! The Feds are closing in on Murtha. From your link, jaz, Questions About Murtha Contract Awards :

"CBS News has learned that federal agents are also looking into a Murtha-backed research firm "Electro Optic Center." According to a source interviewed by the FBI: In one year, the Center sought $120 million in earmarks directly through Murtha's office and managers urged employees to donate to Murtha so the Center would get favorable treatment.

We found at least six donors linked to the Center gave to Murtha on the same day last year, just days before earmarks were decided.

Republican Rep. Jeff Flake, who's against earmarks of any kind, is calling for an ethics investigation and says it could dwarf the last lobby mess to hit Washington.

"In terms of contributions and circular fundraising and the involvement of members it's much bigger [than the Abramoff scandal]," he said. "Much bigger."


What a great day! Sec. Navy Winters is out, Murtha is being hammered for his earmark ethics, and Lt. Col. Chessani has the UCI dismissal upheld.

You’re right, Girl, it is a great day.

That piece by CBS was totally unexpected by me. The wife was watching that news which I never do and I heard his name mentioned and went in to see it. Was really surprised that a member of the MSM would air that.

The investigation of those companies is being done by the FBI, DOD and IRS and those companies surround Murtha, he’s been connected to all of them heavily and I believe had a hand in starting some of them.

Even though Murtha says they haven’t contacted him as yet I’d bet a lot he’s darned worried, it’s only a matter of time until he is contacted and when is hopefully he will be led away in handcuffs. :)

What I find really interesting is the fact that it's CBS hammering Murtha. Yesterday or the day before Daily Kos, the far left nut website, and the Washington Post went after Murtha too!

Daily Kos, CBS,the Post and the Democrat Party are virtually one and the same.

I fully expect the New York Times to jump in as well.

A decision has apparently been made in the Leftist fever swamp braintrust, perhaps by the slimy Soros himself, that Murtha is expendable.

I think we're in for some interesting and entertaining days ahead! WOOHOO!!!!!
