Corruptocrat alert: Second Murtha-tied company raided by FBI

Everything Pork King Jack Murtha touches turns to political gangrene. ABC News has the latest scoop:
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.
PMA is the second company with close ties Murtha to be raided by federal agents recently. In January, agents from the FBI, the IRS and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service searched the office of Kuchera Industries and Kuchera Defense Systems, as well as the homes of the firms’ founders. The companies reportedly have received over $100 million in earmarks, thanks to Murtha’s efforts.
This month marks Murtha’s 35th year in office.
Pennsylvanians get what they deserve.

The sad, unfortunate, and irritating fact is, it is not just the Pennsylvanians that get what they deserve.
Unfortunately, the rest of us also get, and have to pay for, what Pennsylvanians deserve.
Sounds like Eric Holder needs to get the FBI under control now that they’ve got the census under the White House umbrella.
Again I am in opposition to the people that I agree with….WE get the government that we deserve. Is there a Hall of Shame? Maryland. New Jersey. Delaware. The Original 13 Colonies. Pennsylvania voters are squirrely – we vote alternately between R and D; we have a high rate of enlistment in the military; we have lots of small colleges; we have high attendance at churches; etc. Sorry folks, we can’t be easily described…

John Murtha’s “beyond the pale” comments about crimes our military personnel in Iraq supposedly committed mark him as a real PIECE OF S**T.
***
I hope the FBI will be able to nail him for corruption in his defense “businesses”.
***
He will look very good in an orange jumpsuit next to Randy “Duke” Cunningham and Ted Stevens–possibly they can share a 3 man cell and discuss earmarks and special deals.
***
Jail for all corrupt politicians!

Wasn’t there a $1500 plate dinner “honoring” Murtha late last year? Sponsored by and attended by contractors that want-have-had contracts directly-indirectly connected to Murtha? Doesn’t Johnstown have the highest concentration of “contractors” outside of Falls Church?
The msm sure didn’t put that above the fold.
That is part of the problem. They vote for their own local needs while we, as a Country, get screwed.
Not all Pennsylvanians voted for Murtha.
True, but it doesn’t matter, we always end up with the crappiest politicians.
We sure do have the biggest losers here in PA. Specter first and foremost. How I wish we were a red state.
William Russell is running again for Congress against him. He just had his first major push for fundraising last week. I sent him some $$. Everyone needs to send this man money to run against Murtha. Unfortunately moveon.org knows Russell is a contender now and will be pouring funds into this campaign to keep this traitor (Murtha) in this seat. We MUST defeat Murtha in 2010, Murtha MUST GO!!
On any list of Democrats I’d like to see indicted, Murtha would have to be in the top five or six. The Big O himself gets the number one spot.
What Obama meant to say is that smart Pennsylvanians are bitter.
No, they don’t get what they deserve. They benefit from having this oxygen thieving, empty suit sack of s&*t in office. We get to help pay for the pork sandwiches they eat daily.
If they got what they REALLY deserved, they would all be living up to their eyes in pig poo.
Sadly, it will come to nothing in regards to Murtha himself. Being one of the ruling elites, he is insulated.
Isn’t that what it’s all about, bring home the bacon, just ask old Ted. We are so screwed. I will be sending Mr. Russell some money, along with my new adopted Senators, Inhofe and DeMint. I have to work extra hard to pay my ever increasing taxes here in CA, thanks to the liberal pukes Pelosi, Feinstein & Boxer.
Murtha is only one felony away from a cabinet level position in the Obama administration!
Is there a pool going on how long it is going to be until we hear about John’s failure to pay some portion of his taxes?
I agree, travlinman. At the rate he’s going you would think he’s campaigning for a cabinet post! I got an idea, Obama…make him head of the FBI.
For ABC News to be reporting it, there had to have been a 20 foot sign on the front of the building saying “THANK YOU SENATOR MURTHA FOR THE CONTRACTS. WE HAVE YOUR KICKBACKS AT THE FRONT DESK.”
Murtha is a cold blooded purloiner of public funds. No need for evidence or a trial.
(The Haditha Marines were found Not Guilty, you sorry sack of —-!)
