If Murtha had not done anything, Keller wouldn't have known his name!
That means that Murtha must have contacted Keller, and urged him to go ahead, or at least voiced his apathy!

Why would the administration contact Murtha, anyway?

Just to get him to PROVE he's a traitorous back-stabber?

Yep, that was my first thought. Set him up and expose the tubby jerk for what he really is, a traitor. And Stupnagel took the bait.

Murtha has just been ROVED by Karl.
