Where the money came from:
Specifically, Magliocchetti admitted as part of the plea bargain that from 2005 through 2008, he used family members, friends and lobbyists to route $386,250 in illegal campaign contributions. Magliocchetti said he used his own money — and later money from his company — to reimburse the people who made contributions on his behalf.How the money was used:
In 2007 and 2008 alone, three top Democrats on the Defense Appropriations subcommittee — John Murtha of Pennsylvania, Jim Moran of Virginia, and Peter Visclosky of Indiana — directed $137 million in defense contracts to Magliocchetti's clients, typically through earmarks. Before becoming a lobbyist, Magliocchetti once served as a subcommittee staffer and an aide to Murtha, who died earlier this year.
