FBI raids Doolittle's Virginia home

By David Whitney - Bee Washington Bureau
Published 1:40 pm PDT Wednesday, April 18, 2007

WASHINGTON - The FBI raided the Virginia home of Rep. John Doolittle and his wife on Friday, executing a search warrant for materials related to Julie Doolittle's company, Sierra Dominion Financial Services.

The raid was believed to be in connection with the ongoing federal investigation of the political corruption scandal stirred by disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, a one-time Republican star who last year pleaded guilty to three felony charges of defrauding Indian tribes and corrupting political officials.

Abramoff had a close friendship with the Doolittles. The congressmen aided several of his clients and Julie Doolittle worked for the high-profile lobbyist.

Doolittle's attorney, criminal defense lawyer David Barger, said Wednesday that the raid was in connection with a search warrant for Sierra Dominion records and not the congressman. He declined to say, however, whether Doolittle had become a target of investigation, too.

"The congressman continues to be fully supportive of his wife Julie and believes that the truth ultimately will prevail," Barger said.

Doolittle, R-Roseville, has spent more than $100,000 in campaign funds to pay for the services of lawyers specializing in white-collar crime to, as he has said, "clear my name."

1. His time is running out fast
I don't think he'll be a member of Congress for much longer.

3. Oh good!
THere were a number of congresscritters I really wanted to see gone in 2006. Dodiddly was one of them. Unfortunately he represents a solid Repuke district of CA. Hope the dear folks of Rocklin CA are happy with themselves. THey could have had Charlie Brown, a terrific Democratic candidate, honest, smart, decent, but no they went with the sleazeball scumbucket.

Idiots.

4. maybe they still can have Brown, i have Lungren and i'm hoping he gets soundly
trounced next time out, Durston got almost 35% running against him and he had almost no name recognition until about a month before the election.

8. he is one of the worst imo, you should have seen him at the one debate he agreed to
he acted like he was doing everyone a favor by showing up. A total asshat, words can't really describe him.

Edited on Wed Apr-18-07 07:00 PM by senseandsensibility
Or is it still the horrible Virginia story (I agree it's important) 24/7? Is there anything about tomorrow's hearings on the cable news?

13. Is this the wife that sent the email reminding her husband not to forget
to bring the bribe money on the boat trip? Anyone remember that? She sent an email to her husband to remind him to bring along the money they promised the other couple and he sent an email back telling her not to EVER email anything like that and to delete it right away? Is this the same couple? :shrug:
