Last week’s release of FBI documents finally put in writing what nobody had ever said on the record: The FBI suspected that former Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) and lobbyists close to him were running a scheme to funnel earmarks to sham companies and nonprofits to benefit the lawmaker’s friends and former staffers.
There were some convictions around the periphery, it seems, but no smoking gun in Murtha's hand was proven.
Still, given the man's horrible record on saying horrible things about our troops at war, being able to say Murtha was "unconvicted" and "unindicted" is hardly a glowing recommendation to have his name live on, painted on the hull of LPD-26.
