[Alter Kaker]

FBI Raids Doolittle's Home: The FBI has raided the Northern Virginia home of Rep. John Doolittle (R-Calif.), according to Congressional sources. No details are publicly available yet about the circumstances of the raid, but Doolittle and his wife, Julie, have been under federal investigation for their ties to the scandal surrounding imprisoned former lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

This is all there is at the moment, just a notice on Roll Call's front page.

This they will hammer to death, 90,000.00 dollars in cold cash they will ignore.

[AndyTheBear]

If they find any bribe money stashed in the freezer, maybe Pelosi will nominate him for an important cabinet position.

Anyone know what’s going on with the ‘Culture Of Corruption’ William Jefferson? Does he get off because he’s Black or because he’s a Democrat?

Has he gotten off? I thought the FBI investigation was still ongoing, but I haven't followed the story.

I have read a bit of the backstory in the past. I am not sure if what he and his wife did was legal, it wasn’t ethical though.

The deal was is that his wife, who had no experience in the field, was hired on as a “fundraiser” for him. She would get 15% cut as her fee for all his campaign contributions. So if he raised $1,000,000 for his campaign, $150,000 would stay at home with them.

JOHN DOOLITTLE FOR RETIREMENT!!!!!!

[Suzy Quzy]

WHY ISN”T WILLIAM JEFFERSON INDICTED!!!!!!! These G-MEN MAKE ME SICK!!

[top 2 toe red]

He KNEW he was immune...two passes neatly tucked away.

[Just another Joe]

Does he get off because he’s Black or because he’s a Democrat?

Yes.

FYI ping

[sgtbono2002]

Dont pay too much attention to this its just the Clinton Justice Department working for the Dems and doing dirty work for them.

I remember when they arrested Curt Weldons daughter a few days before election found nothing and helped Weldon lose the election.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Wasn’t the Dem congressman from California (who was accused of being involved with that girl/intern who went missing in DC) doing the same thing — both kids and the wife working on the campaign fund-raising for a cut? Isn’t Romney offering his college-age supporters a similar deal?

[Labyrinthos]

Has he gotten off? I thought the FBI investigation was still ongoing, but I haven't followed the story.

I think they are waiting for a court decision on whether the initial seizure of the evidence from Jefferson violated the seperation of powers or something like that.

Remember Speaker Hastert claiming Congress was above the law when they raided Democrat William Jefferson's office?

Hold your breath, any minute now Nancy Pelosi will come out in support of Doolittle and decrying this FBI raid...

/S

Bet this guy goes to prison long before Gongressman Jefferson, Democrat La. gets indicted.

Do you realize how COMMON this practice is?

[sergeantdave]

Does this mean the FBI is getting close to Feinstein’s house? I bet the Feinsteins had a barbecue last wekend using documents to cook the steak and lobster.

[ElkGroveDan]

Bet this guy goes to prison long before Gongressman Jefferson, Democrat La. gets indicted.

Why would you make such a bet? Do you know anything about him? How could someone be sent to prison unless they committed a serious crime? Are you aware of any shred of evidence that he has committed a crime? No? Neither am I.

[saganite]

I’m pretty sure you know that doesn’t mean a damn thing. How could you be naive enough to suggest justice will prevail after what happened to Libby. Even in the off chance the guy doesn’t wind up in jail they’ve effectively ruined his political career which is probably the secondary aim anyway.
