In this episode we let you listen to the only set of start to finish tapes that I am aware of that are available to the public, at least that I could find. These tapes involve Congressman John Murtha , who was targeted but was never indicted. John Murtha would go on and serve long enough after ABSCAM that he would become the longest serving Congressman in Pennsylvania history.
I will say that this is a situation that I do not like to do given that Murtha had a long and distinguished career and never was charged, or tried, and certainly never convicted, of any wrongdoing in the case of ABSCAM. So let me just say in this description that we are only using this audio footage because it is the only footage that is available , that we were able to find, that contains an entire meeting between the FBI, the conman, and a sitting member of Congress. All the the other footage is only segments of the sting the FBI ran on the Congressmen.
I do feel though that when you listen in on this meeting, with stunningly clear audio, you will get a feel for how these meetings went and how these governmental officials were set up for the ABSCAM sting.
