Drip, drip. drip

Is it my imagination, or is the pace picking up?

Federal prosecutors have begun an investigation into Rep. Jerry Lewis, the Californian who chairs the powerful House Appropriations Committee, government officials and others said, signaling the spread of a San Diego corruption probe.

The U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles has issued subpoenas in an investigation into the relationship between Lewis (R-Redlands) and a Washington lobbyist linked to disgraced former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-Rancho Santa Fe), three people familiar with the investigation said.

Lewis is the guy who continues to refuse to open an investigation into Duke Cunningham's activities on the Appropriations Committee. Nothing to see here folks! Move along.
