AP: Doolittle to Make It Official Today
I'd hoped they were just wild rumors, but alas! From the AP:
Republican Rep. John Doolittle, who is under investigation in a congressional lobbying scandal, plans to announce his retirement from Congress on Thursday, according to a Republican official who spoke with Doolittle.

Hopefully prosecutors will work out a deal with him so he'll spill the goods on the big(ger) fish.

It is NOT punishment to let these sleezebags retire on the public dime for the rest of their lives without going to the slammer.

Wow, to think only Republicans get innappropriate gifts or are effected by sleazy lobbyists(reudundant).WWF or Siera Club or Trial Attorneys and god forbid Labor Unions, would never shuffle $ or gifts under the table.
Sometimes the bullshit at this site really smells!

For Billy Pilgrim's (above) benefit...The only fish bigger than Doolittle is Vladmir Putin and his mob operatives who bribed Doolittle! Also, the feds know most of what Doolittle did at this point, and hence have evidence without the documents Doolittle has in his office.
I expect this to be indictments against John and Julie Doolittle, not a plea deal! This investigation is nearly 4 years old!
