Another Rep Under Federal Investigation

From The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

Authorities are investigating whether Rep. Tim Murphy’s (R-PA) legislative staff members performed campaign work while on government time, which would violate federal law, according to a broadcast report.

Federal authorities have started interviewing Mr. Murphy’s former staff members, according to KDKA-TV, which cited anonymous sources.

It’s hard to keep track, but I believe this would be the 19th member of the 109th Congress under federal investigation. Time’s running out. Who’ll make it an even twenty?

Oh, and no mention of Murphy’s alleged transgression should go unaccompanied by a link to this.
