The latest muck on Jeffrey Shockey, the staffer-then-lobbyist-then-staffer of the scandal surrounding Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA) – an analysis by Roll Call shows that the fees from Shockey’s former clients jumped almost across the board the year after he left the firm. (Remember, Shockey had a special arrangement where he got to keep drawing that money even after he was back on Rep. Lewis’s staff.) That meant more money for Shockey, who ultimately pocketed $1.96 million.

Sound fishy to you?
