Doolittle says he's not alone

Oh, man:

Two other congressmen were raided by federal authorities when his home was invaded by FBI agents in April, Rep. John Doolittle, R-Roseville, revealed Thursday.

"One's a Democrat and one's a Republican," Doolittle said during a media conference call from Washington, D.C. He said the raids were related to the ongoing federal investigation of jailed lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who had business contacts with Doolittle's wife Julie Doolittle. She raises funds for her husband and others through her political consulting firm.

Doolittle said he would draw a page from media practice by only saying "well-placed sources" had advised him of the raids, which had not become public until his pronouncement. He said he did not know the other congressmen's names.
