Breaking up is hard to do. . . via Roll Call:

Under siege by a federal probe into their lobbying activities, the Democratic partners in the firm Copeland Lowery Jacquez Denton & White are separating themselves from the GOP portion of the shop that has come under scrutiny for its ties to House Appropriations Chairman Jerry Lewis (R-Calif.).

James Copeland and Lynn Jacquez are taking their clients and creating a separate partnership from the other three name partners, two of whom — former Rep. Bill Lowery (R-Calif.) and former Lewis aide Letitia White — have been in the media spotlight for weeks regarding the federal probe into the appropriations earmark industry.

My ma would call this “gettin’ while the gettin’s good.”
