Murtha's ABSCAM video - snippet #4 - "not at this point"

In this snippet, Rep. Jack Murtha (D-PA) declines the $50,000 bribe from the undercover FBI agent: "I'm not interested -- at this point. We do business for a while, maybe I'll be interested, maybe I won't." Before he laid the groundwork for a "slow bleed" of U.S. troops in Iraq, Murtha agreed to do business with a fictitious Arab sheik whom Murtha thought was trying to bribe him. Murtha avoided prosecution for his role in the ABSCAM scandal by testifying against other Democrat Congressmen who'd taken the bribes. See more Murtha at http://jackmurtha.blogspot.com .
