FBI raids lobbying firm with ties to Congressman Murtha

The FBI raided the offices of a PMA Group, a powerful lobbying firm with close ties to John Murtha (pictured), a long-time Democratic Congressman from Pennsylvania.

PMA Group spokesman Patrick Dorton confirmed the raid in a statement Monday afternoon.

"Government representatives did come to the PMA offices," Dorton said. "They requested a number of different kinds of information. The firm is cooperating with their requests."

It is unclear whether Murtha is a target of the federal investigation. However, Murtha has reportedly directed more than $100 million in earmarks (pork) to the Kuchera firms.

Term limits would prevent Congressmen like Murtha from corrupting the US House of Representatives decade after decade.
