Doolittle and aides subpoenaed…again.
Prosecutors have subpoenaed Rep. John Doolittle (R-CA) and five of his staffers, seeking “virtually every record including legislative records” for the past 11 years, according to Doolittle’s attorney David Barger. Prosecutors are probing connections between Doolittle and disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who is currently serving time in jail. Josh Marshall has more on Doolittle’s legal problems here.

O-K… everybody who honks about how “they’re all just the same”. This makes how many R’s that are under investigation, indicment, or are already convicted??…under the most highly manipulative R administration in hostory??…compared to ONE nickel and dime D in a crooked southern state that lets adulterous panderers remain in office??… GTFOOH
you can all spend the rest of the evening reconsidering your slandering of Dems by EVER suggesting they’re “as bad as” R’s, and i issue a hearty wag of my finger to you all – nice people and dirt-sucking trolls alike.

A week before former Rep. Randy “Duke†Cunningham was sentenced to prison, he stressed to the court that a number of other lawmakers also helped arrange federal funding for the defense contractors who bribed him.
As a member of two key committees in the House, Rep. John Doolittle, R-Granite Bay, is well-positioned to help contractors gain funding through congressional earmarks.
September 27th, 2007 at 9:59 pmNone of the lawmakers Cunningham mentioned by name – Reps. Katherine Harris of Florida, Virgil Goode of Virginia and John Doolittle from the Sacramento suburb of Granite Bay – has been accused of criminal wrongdoing. But each has admitted assisting either Mitchell Wade or Brent Wilkes, co-conspirators in the Cunningham case, at a time when the two businessmen were giving them tens of thousands of dollars in political contributions.
And at least one of the lawmakers, Doolittle, received a direct monetary benefit from those contributions through commissions paid to his wife, Julie.
Actually, Jake it does, a lot, and I don’t expect you to recognize that, or care, and I also don’t give a happy monkeyf*ck what you think about a goddamned thing. You’re welcome.
September 27th, 2007 at 10:01 pmMore Dems convicted? Not of late. But, hey, what can you expect from someone who can’t even keep his own age straight?
September 27th, 2007 at 10:03 pmUntil TP bans ‘im fer good… **snicker**… like the WaPo did.
September 27th, 2007 at 10:04 pmAnd just like an old record, jakeydee warps and skips and plays the same three notes over and over and over again.
September 27th, 2007 at 10:05 pmIF the number of Dems guilty of corruption is higher—–is that because US attorneys are pressured to go after Dems (even if trivial or non-existant) and to leave Repubs alone (even if serious)? I mean if the attorneys would like to keep their jobs.
September 27th, 2007 at 10:06 pmTRoS,
I believe it was the Washington Monthly that couldn’t stand him any longer. And what is this “record” of which he speaks?
September 27th, 2007 at 10:08 pm5 – then get used to being the object of a lot of loathing. guess you’ve got that masochistic streak that good ol’ Dave Vitter (R-LA) has. good luck with that.
9- that’s just it – bushie apparatchiks have exhausted themselves trying to catch some Dem perps for 6 years (likely longer) and Jefferson is all they have to show for it. In the meantime, all these R scandals have come knocking at their door in such a huge way they can’t even take a pass on prosecuting them. Ted Stevens is next.
September 27th, 2007 at 10:10 pmI’m all in favor of Traficante or Jefferson being convicted. I just think they should include almost everyone in the Bush administration. I mean they have stolen a trillion dollars and killed one million people!!!
In California you can get 25-to-life for stealing a slice of pizza if it’s your third strike!
September 27th, 2007 at 10:12 pmHe must not have been “Do”ing “Little” as his name implies!

September 27th, 2007 at 10:36 pmOh, gaud people, Jake D. is a total tool of the RNC and a proven LIAR, why do you even respond to “it”?

September 27th, 2007 at 11:30 pmDolittle, DeLay, and Ney – a hi-priced Republican Washington lawless firm that specializes in personal-public corruption cases. While 2/3 of the partners are under indictment or convicted, they spent their time, as elected politicians doing little, delaying and/or defeating important legislation for the taxpayers of this country.
September 27th, 2007 at 11:30 pmActually, I’m beginning to think Jake works for TP. No one could possibly do a worse job defending the indefensible – an organized crime syndicate that masquerades as a political party. I think he’s providing comic relief for the site as the designated ineffectual and inconsequential Republican apologist. Sort of a reverse Alan Colmes.
September 27th, 2007 at 11:35 pmI believe it was the Washington Monthly that couldn’t stand him any longer. And what is this “record†of which he speaks?
Comment by Keith
It’s the record he keeps in his head. He thinks he is a legend in his own mind. When in reality he is a sociopathic liar who steals the record of a Korean War vet and a Stanford Law School graduate. Ain’t the internet great. You can be anyone you want to be. I won the Noble Peace Prize, but I haven’t wanted to brag about it.
September 27th, 2007 at 11:46 pmThe GOP could break into Jakes back yard, leave empty beer cans scattered about, steal his checkbook, spray graffitti on his walls, start a feud with his numbers, watch pornography on his bigscreen, hire male hookers, pee on his floor, impregnate his cat, steal his car and run off with is wife.
And what would he say?
Heckuva Job.

I was the first man to land on mars and claim it for America. I also invented the internet, solved all the social problems of mankind, I also solved string theory and how the pyramids were built as well I built Babylon.
How? by drinking koolaid, wisdom flavor, that I traded Jake three magic beanstalks for.
September 28th, 2007 at 1:23 amI prefer to think “Stephen Colbert†: )

Dream on, oh delusional one.
September 28th, 2007 at 1:25 am>For the record, I am here to stay.
Get a new hotmail account?
You forgot to ask “anyone else?”, like you often do, and like the mysterious “rory” who was here and gone in a day, and claimed to not be you, also did.
Your a liar and a fake jake. Still waiting for you to explain how the clause in the constitution that allows congress to “provide for the general welfare” wouldnt allow for universal healthcare….
September 28th, 2007 at 6:58 am>So, even if more Democrats have been convicted,
> that doesn’t matter?
Have they jake? where does it say that? in the “constitution”, the same place you get all your imaginary news?
September 28th, 2007 at 7:00 amuhm.. HSU! HSU! HHHH—-SSSS_____–UUUUUU!!!
September 28th, 2007 at 7:01 amI’m sure Bigfoot is going to come along with some brilliant post from the Washington Post about how Doolittle directed funds to democrats…by leaving 25 cent tips for the black waiters at the congressional cafeteria..
September 28th, 2007 at 7:04 amFor the record, under investigation is different from guilty. After he’s found guilty, let’s hang him!
September 28th, 2007 at 7:12 am>For the record, under investigation is different from guilty.
Unless its anything involving terrorism.. right? Then there is no “alleged”
I guess that must make blackwater guilty of arming terrorists groups
