Rep. Rick Renzi (R-Ariz.) temporarily stepped down from two more House committees today, having already stepped down from one last week after the FBI raided his wife's insurance business. The investigation entails a land deal from Roberta Renzi that might have benefited a fellow business associate and campaign donor.

Two quick developments from this: First, Renzi has told House Minority Leader John Boehner that he wished to be dropped from the GOP's Retain Our Majority Program, which is designed to protect the party's most vulnerable incumbents, reports the Politico's Patrick O'Connor.

Also, as the Politico notes elsewhere, Democrats are wasting no time dusting off their "culture of corruption" theme they campaigned on last year. Democrats hope to add Renzi's troubles to an FBI raid of Rep. John Doolittle's home in Northern Virginia as well as the ongoing U.S. attorney scandal to a spring offensive, reports Jeff Patch and O'Connor.

"Our intention is to keep our foot on the gas as the party of reform," said Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel of Illinois.
