Even as Hillary fundraiser Norman Hsu is drawing national attention for being captured after going on the run, another sleazy Democrat is stepping up to raise money for the Clinton campaign.

His name? Raul Martinez. Hillary will be attending a fund raiser at Martinez’s home, Martinez was accused of racketeering, extortion, and connected to voter fraud, yet he’s now raising money for Hillary Clinton? Given Hillary’s questionable and shady record when it comes to fundraising, people may be disappointed that she’s associating with someone like Martinez, but no one can be too surprised.

Democratic Congressman, Jack Murtha embroiled in missing money question
Politico has the tale. The name “Hsu” does not come up. The name “Murtha,” however, does.

   What part? This part? :

   A twisted tale of congressional earmarking has taken another turn.
   The U.S. Navy wants a business owned by the family of Rep. Paul E. Kanjorski to hand over a piece of high-tech equipment bought with some of the $9.25 million in taxpayer funds Kanjorski steered to the company.
   Except no one seems to know where to find the equipment ” a high-pressure pump. The mystery of the missing pump, combined with newly unearthed evidence that federal investigators probed Kanjorski’s connections to the company, Cornerstone Technologies, has given new life to a story that seems unlikely to go away.

   “I have no relationship to the Cornerstone company and have had no involvement in the company’s legal proceedings, except I indicated my willingness to give a deposition,”he said in a statement to Politico. If Cornerstone owes the Navy something, he said, “that is a matter between the contracting parties.”
   Cornerstone’s lawyer was unaware of the pump and said the Navy never mentioned it.

   An admitted science geek who became enchanted by the idea of using high-powered water jets to break down materials for use in composites, Kanjorski encouraged the creation of Cornerstone in the late 1990s to develop ” and one day commercialize ” the technology. It was formed by his nephew, Peter Kanjorski, and a scientist, Bruce Conrad, who were joined in the company by four of the congressman’s other nephews and his daughter.
   In 1998, with the help of Rep. John P. Murtha, a fellow Pennsylvanian and the top Democrat on the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, Rep. Kanjorski earmarked $3.5 million for the research through the Navy.

   Oh wait, what am I thinking..that’s business as usual for a Democrat

   Remember, Democrats were all about ethics. By “ethics,” they mean donations from fugitive, nepotistic land deals, attacking the very lobbyists they take money from…
