I don’t like to speak ill of the dead, but it’s important to know how politicians act when we’re not looking.
In a memo dated June 19, 2009, FBI field agents requested the bureau “open a full public corruption investigation” regarding KSA Consulting, the lobbying firm that employed at various times the Congressman’s longtime defense aide Carmen Scialabba and the Congressman’s brother, Robert Murtha, widely known as Kit.
The FBI field agents concluded that “the relationships between Congressman John Murtha … and employees and partners of KSA Consulting provide for a potential Honest Services Fraud … if Congressman Murtha influenced the awarding of contracts to KSA-controlled entities or clients, in exchange for some personal benefit to the Congressman. KSA principals may also have committed Honest Services Fraud by lobbying Murtha to direct earmarks to KSA clients who ‘passed-thru’ the funds to subcontractor firms that did little actual work and were owned by KSA principles.”
There’s lots there, so go read the whole thing.
Are we to believe the Democrats, some Republicans, and the entire mainstream media are just now discovering Murtha's less that ethical/legal/moral activities while in office? It never ceases to amaze me how the media continues to insult the intelligence of anyone with an IQ above 50.
Robbers, thieves and carpetbaggers everywhere in politics.
