Democrat culture of corruption

Superlobbyist Magliocchetti to be sentenced

Violated U.S. campaign funding laws, recruited family members


"Magliocchetti admitted in court in September to using straw donors — friends, lobbyists and family members — to funnel $386,250 in illegal contributions to members of Congress including key members of the House Appropriations defense subcommittee who provided millions of dollars in earmarks for his lobbying clients."


"He was a major fundraiser for three powerful Democratic members of the defense subcommittee — John P. Murtha of Pennsylvania, James P. Moran of Virginia and Peter J. Visclosky of Indiana — who had repeatedly helped him and his clients. The Justice Department has said the three were not aware of Magliocchetti's scheme."
