Doolittle says stepped-up probe 'not clear'
Lobbyist's revelations reportedly fuel more cases, now including ex-aide to DeLay.

WASHINGTON -- First the FBI raided the Virginia home of Rep. John Doolittle, R-Roseville.

Then prosecutors began asking questions of Rep. Tom Feeney, R-Fla. Now it appears federal prosecutors are weighing charges against Ed Buckham, a former aide to Tom DeLay, who could drag the former House Republican leader into the swirl.

The common denominator is Jack Abramoff, the once-mighty Republican superlobbyist and influence peddler. Suddenly the federal investigation into his scandalous deceptions and fraud has taken a new life, at a blistering pace -- all without a peep from the Justice Department.

"It's not clear to me or my lawyers exactly what they're doing," Doolittle said Thursday of his own case.

Whatever is on the verge of erupting, it portends a new headache for the Bush administration and congressional Republicans still reeling from a furor over the Justice Department's firing of eight U.S. attorneys and from last fall's election, which put Democrats back in command on Capitol Hill
