One of Murtha's employees charged with fraud
Back from vacation now, and what's this we have here: a former contractor for the terrible congressman John Murtha has been charged with fraud in government contracting (Hat tip: Hot Air):
A former executive for a defense contractor with ties to Democratic U.S. Rep. John Murtha has been charged by federal prosecutors with taking about $200,000 in kickbacks from a subcontractor.I hope this finally helps lead to the end of Murtha's long overdue political career. But who knows?
Richard Ianieri, of Doylestown, Pa., served as president and CEO of Coherent Systems International Corp., the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
The government alleges Ianieri received checks which were “provided for the purpose of improperly obtaining and rewarding favorable treatment … relating to a government prime contract.”
