Placer County Sheriff's personnel and hazardous materials teams are investigating a letter containing an unknown substance that was sent to the Granite Bay office of Rep. John Doolittle.

The letter was discovered at the Republican lawmaker's 4230 Douglas Blvd. office around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to Placer County Sheriff's spokesman Lt. George Malim.

Malim said a female employee opened the letter, which contained a white, powdery substance that allegedly caused the woman's thumb to tingle. The woman was treated at the scene and released, Malim said.

Malim said the letter did contain some "threatening content," but would not elaborate on what was written. Workers in the office also received a threatening phone call last Thursday, but there is no evidence that the two incidents are linked, Doolittle chief of staff Richard Robinson said. Doolittle was in Washington, D.C. Wednesday.

1. I don't know...

I understand he's been a vocal opponent of the Dubai-ports deal.
I'd be looking into the UAE and the scrub admin as key suspects.

6. Doolittle is one of the all time republican slime in California politics.

A complete piece of shit, facing all kind of ethics violation...a true neocon republican pig. Doolittle is one of the most arrogant corrupt pieces of shit ever. A very despicable lying asshole!!!!

Probably sent the letter to himself...Ala Rove tactics, get sympathy for his ethics violations and then blame on democrats!!!
