Excerpts from an April 12, 2012, interview with attorney E. Barrett Prettyman, Jr. He discusses his work as special counsel to the House Ethics Committee's ABSCAM investigation and his July 1981 resignation after it rejected his proposed charges against Rep. John P. Murtha (D.-PA).

Why on earth does a 1981 forgotten scandal matter now?
Because it is directly linked to an earlier attempt by George H.W. Bush to arm China at the expense of the USA.
