Remember Jack Murtha and His Earmark Scams?


According to Politico, the lobbying group PMA, which really was believed to be merely a front group to help Murtha funnel millions of your taxpayer dollars to his favorite groups, was indicted today in federal court for doing just that.
PMA had ties to some of the most senior members of the House Appropriations Committee, including the late Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) and Rep. Peter Visclosky (D-Ind.). The firm, its employees — particularly Magliocchetti — and clients steered millions of dollars in campaign contributions to these lawmakers. PMA’s lobbying clients then received hundreds of millions of dollars in earmarks.

Most ethical congress evah!
