Breaking: 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.”

It's about time, too. I can hear the champagne corks popping over at Talking Points Memo right now. Josh Marshall & Co. have been all over this story from the get-go.
