FBI Raided Lobbying Firm Connected to Murtha |
2009-02-10 |
![]() The FBI raided the offices of a defense lobbying firm with close ties to Democratic Rep. John Murtha (Penn.), sources tell ABC News. The FBI searched the Virginia headquarters of the PMA Group in November, according to the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. PMA was founded by former Murtha aide Paul Magliochetti and specializes in winning earmarked taxpayer funds for its clients. Good government groups have long criticized Murtha's cozy relationship with a handful of lobbyists and defense firms, ties that see millions of dollars in government spending go out from Murtha's office, and hundreds of thousands in campaign donations come in. Murtha has said his earmarking has helped revive his economically depressed district. |

#6 Bush gave up Duke Cunningham. The least that Zero can do is throw Murtha under the bus. |

#4 Hat tip indeed! With all the election ACORN investigations still pending, I'm surprised the Bureau had time to look into this at all. |
