Doolittle’s former top aide working with feds.
David Lopez, former chief of staff for Rep. John Doolittle (R-CA), has provided “several hundred pages” of documents to federal prosecutors “investigating Doolittle and his wife in the Jack Abramoff influence-peddling scandal.”
Lopez’s name has previously surfaced in connection with Abramoff. He took a trip to Puerto Rico in 2001 paid for by Abramoff’s firm, although House rules prohibited trips paid for by registered lobbyists; Lopez said he’d consulted with the Ethics Committee and intended to abide by the rules.
Lopez was also referenced in an e-mail Ring wrote to Abramoff in 2000 about finding work for Doolittle’s wife, Julie, who went on to work for Abramoff on retainer. Julie Doolittle’s fundraising and event-planning company, which she ran out of the couple’s Virginia home, was the focus of the FBI’s subpoena in April.

Nobody cares.
June 25th, 2007 at 10:38 pmHey, that’s my line!
June 25th, 2007 at 10:40 pmI care.
Another Repuke is going down.
Abramoff is just getting started.
The entire GOP is crooked. This is going to get interesting.
June 25th, 2007 at 10:43 pmI agree, who cares…
the bigger fish are starting to crisp up nicely in the pan,
and we’re getting less interested in the guppies.

June 25th, 2007 at 10:47 pmMay I suggest primavera with an Alfredo sauce?”
I bet 4 out of any 5 people couldn’t even tell you who Jack Abramoff is.
June 25th, 2007 at 10:47 pmAnd playing chicken with Cheney is a waste of time too. Face it, these guys are experts at being slimey and will easily run out the clock until January 2009. Nothing will change before then.
CHENEY 2008!!!
June 25th, 2007 at 10:48 pmRats! Rats are leaving the SS Doolittle.
Oh no, little buddy!
June 25th, 2007 at 10:50 pmDon’t assume they will go quietly in January 2009.
Chimpy can now declare martial law whenever he wants.
It was a parting gift from the Repuke lame duck session.
June 25th, 2007 at 10:51 pmCHENEY 2008!!!
Yeah, send him to MITTMO, and torture his azz till he is EXPIRED.
God will send him to hell from there….
June 25th, 2007 at 10:53 pm“As you may know, a prominent lobbyist in Washington named Jack Abramoff has pleaded guilty to corruption charges allegedly involving a U.S. congressman. Do you think this case is limited to a few corrupt individuals, or do you think it is evidence of widespread corruption in Washington?”
Limited /Widespread/Neither/ Unsure
1/23-26/06 38/55/2/5 %
1/5-8/06 34/58/2/6 %
That’s a typical n=1000 people sample.
Looks like 4 out of 5 Americans HAVE heard of Jack.
June 25th, 2007 at 11:01 pmAnother corrupted Republican going down? Amazing, eh?
June 25th, 2007 at 11:02 pm“Do you think the Bush Administration should or should not provide a list of all meetings any White House officials may have had with Abramoff?”
Should/Should Not/Unsure

Here it is, 18 months later, and Chimpy still hasn’t told us Jack.
June 25th, 2007 at 11:03 pmIt’s just that right now, nobody seems to know jack
June 25th, 2007 at 11:03 pmJust waiting for the Adam Kidan, Sun Cruz / Gus Boulis, Atta links to surface, and blow the top off the Official Lie re 9-11!! Why isn’t Abramoff being tortured to get that information??
June 25th, 2007 at 11:06 pmJack Abramoff is linked to 9-11??
Its a small world, after all.

Ah the irony of calling someone a slug, while engaging in the very behavior you deride. We call that *hypocrisy* – little boy…

Better: Bush is a COXUCKER punk TRAITOR to the USA, who will BURN IN HELL FOR ETERNITY for his WAR CRIMES.
Go back to Lying Green FASCISTS, Nazi azzhole-licker of Bush.
And have a NICE DAY…

June 25th, 2007 at 11:41 pmGlen, the OTHER side? Are you joking, you moronic little prick?
June 25th, 2007 at 11:42 pmT3,
Abramoff was involved in an enormous amount of bad sh*t! Please watch Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime for a great contextual expose for the events of 911. It’s available online, and many 911Truth sites have the link. Try 911Blogger.com, or 911Truth.org.
Abramoff was knee-deep in connections with the Russian-Israeli mob, and you should look into his involvement with the election frauds of the 1990’s and 2000, and the writing of the HAVA, led by his cohort in crime, Bob Ney, of Ohio fame. He was also very connected with Tom Feeney and Jeb Bush…and the theft of Fla. for Bush in 2000.
You are a reg. here, so I am surprised you aren’t up on the range of the Abramoff/DeLay crime spree.
June 25th, 2007 at 11:46 pmDoolittle is done, so stick a fork in him.
June 26th, 2007 at 12:08 amRat the lyingfu(kingbastards out.
June 26th, 2007 at 12:22 amPersonally, I’d rather see these people working at Club Fed.
As it is, it seems like none will even have to set foot in a prison cell, where they belong.
June 26th, 2007 at 12:46 amTP has a great section on Abramoff’s gaming of the US.

June 26th, 2007 at 4:01 am“little boy” “little prick” “Nazi Azzhole.” I prove my point. You’re NO different that some dim, angry truck driver who listens to Sean Hannity.

My county cares we voted against the extortionist scum bag.
And no that is not a hyperbole Doolittle’s office tried to force elderly people to hire Abramoff hence he is a extortionist scum bag.
Don’t believe me?
check out Doolittle’s wikipedia page.
