Murtha Accused of Violating Ethicsby Matt Margolis at 11:12 PM
The Politico reports the news... which was first mentioned by the Majority Accountability Project earlier this month.... and we covered at No Agenda.
Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.) threatened to deny any further spending projects to a Republican who challenged him over an earmark, his antagonist has charged -- a potential violation of House rules.Read more here.Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) had challenged money that Murtha inserted into an intelligence bill last week.
Rogers turned the tables later that night by saying he would propose a reprimand of Murtha for violating House rules.
The Republican is planning to insert a transcript of their exchange in the Congressional Record to document the potential violation.
