The investigative reporters of the Washington Post appear to have had it with John Murtha:
Robert C. Murtha Jr. has made a sizable living for years working with companies that rely on Pentagon contracts over which his uncle, Rep. John P. Murtha, D-Pa., holds considerable sway.
He has maintained that his uncle played no role in his defense-related work, much of it secured without competition. Newly obtained documents, however, show Robert Murtha mentioning his influential family connection as leverage in his business dealings and holding unusual power with the military. The documents add to mounting questions about Rep. Murtha, whose use of federal earmarks to help favored defense companies and whose relationship with a former lobbying firm are under scrutiny by federal investigators.
Sounds like whenever Robert C. Murtha’s company needed business, they cried to his uncle. Now the question is whether sufficient pressure builds on Nancy Pelosi to permit an ethics committee investigation of this, to the point where she finally cries uncle.
