Thanks to
KLO at NRO for picking this up.
While an investigation may be warranted, I think the timing is bad. Murtha is a Marine and has served his country, no doubt. BUT - he is wrong, and has been wrong on Iraq for a while.
See here for more on Murtha's brother and his firm:

Careful. Stupid is not the same thing as unethical.

Good! The Dems have taken decency for weakness for 5 yrs now and have done nothing but become more and more evil and more and more partisan. Time to change the scenario.

It is appropriate to refer this to the ethics committee for review. That is what they are there for, to review possible ethics issues to either clear the target, or find them in violation.
Certainly the information in the LA times is enough to warrent a look-see by the ethics committee.

The timing of an investigation now may not bode well for our side. The dems are trying to convince the nation that if you disagree with the Admin. policy they will go after you.

They need to investigate the poor man's mental health status. He makes no sense.

Must be a difficult thing to do considering so far there is no one under investigation except other Republicans.

I want 250 frog marches which, curiously, corresponds to the number of Dumbocrats in the House and Senate.

Finally. The Democrats are going for the throat and they think the law doesn't apply to them. I'm very happy to see a proper action by the
majority.
The timing is perfect. We have documented here nearly a decade of crimes by the Democrats in real-time. They have been getting away with this kind of thing constantly. They have escalated to political prosecutions of high-ranking members of both the executive and the legislative branch, and the effective equivalent in the judiciary's confirmation circus for far longer.
Now we have another product of Vietnam Derangement Syndrome proposing that we satisfy our enemy's current top objective - pull out of Iraq - on the back of a years-long propaganda campaign intended from the beginning to produce just this particular bit of treason. This is as good a moment to fight back as there will ever be.

Republican lawmakers say that ties between Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) and his brother's lobbying firm, KSA Consulting, may warrant investigation by the House ethics committee... Not may, do it.
To: denydenydeny
Oh. And 250 indictments too. Gotta adhere to due process even when the perps are despicable traitors.
