Two other congressmen were raided by federal authorities when his home was invaded by FBI agents in April, Rep. John Doolittle, R-Roseville, revealed Thursday.
"One's a Democrat and one's a Republican," Doolittle said during a media conference call from Washington, D.C. He said the raids were related to the ongoing federal investigation of jailed lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who had business contacts with Doolittle's wife Julie Doolittle. She raises funds for her husband and others through her political consulting firm.
Doolittle said he would draw a page from media practice by only saying "well-placed sources" had advised him of the raids, which had not become public until his pronouncement. He said he did not know the other congressmen's names.
Meanwhile Doolittle, 56, said he would have a specific announcement about the three-year investigation of his and his wife's associations with Abramoff before Memorial Day.

The best that can be said for John Doolittle’s conduct is that it looks bad.
He should retire.
Doolittle, Raid, reminds me of something...

My, we’ve come a long a way. A study in contrasts.
I’ll be impressed when they raid Dingy Harry’s offices.
I think the same thing. In fact, if he insists on seeking reelection, than a well-known Republican should run against him in the primary.
Since you live in the district, what would you think about newly-elected Assemblyman Ted Gaines?

Great idea. Ted is highly respected and possesses a lot of integrity. I'll run your idea by a few friends in Roseville.
