POLITICO: House Turns Back Call for Murtha Probe:
The House on Thursday night turned back another call to investigate the PMA Group, a once-powerful lobbying firm whose offices were recently raided by the FBI and which has close ties to Pennsylvania Rep. John P. Murtha (D). . . . PMA is under investigation for allegedly making improper “straw man” donations to lawmakers. Murtha, who chairs the subcommittee that doles out defense spending, has had close ties to members of the lobbying firm.
I don’t think this issue will go away that easily, though.
