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.

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.”
I hope this finally helps lead to the end of Murtha's long overdue political career. But who knows?
