Republican Congressman resigns key post after FBI searches home The nine-term California Republican came one day after the disclosure that agents had raided his home in Oakton, Virginia. In the search last Friday, the FBI had a warrant for information connected with a fundraising business run by Doolittle's wife, Julie, that had done work for convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff. "I understand how the most recent circumstances may lead some to question my tenure on the Appropriations Committee," Doolittle wrote House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio. These poor sops.
