WASHINGTON - Federal investigators have interviewed at least two more former chiefs of staff to U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris as part of a federal inquiry into her relationship with a convicted defense contractor.

Dan Berger and Ben McKay, who both worked for Harris in her first term and are now lobbyists in Washington, confirmed the interviews this week. The two spoke separately to three investigators from the FBI and the Defense Department in Washington several weeks ago.

The Justice and Defense departments are examining Harris' dealings with Mitchell Wade, who made illegal campaign contributions to Harris and paid for at least two dinners with her at a tony Georgetown restaurant that totaled about $6,000. Later Wade asked Harris to help secure $10-million in federal money for a company project in Sarasota.

Federal authorities have subpoenaed records from Harris' U.S. Senate campaign office and have interviewed several former staffers, including senior campaign consultant Ed Rollins, campaign manager Jim Dornan and Mona Tate Yost, a congressional aide who later went to work for Wade.

Wonder if her tell-all book will mention any of this?

1. She might have lots of time to devote to that book, hopefully from jail. nt

2. Prisoner "top bunk"Harris has a nice ring to it.

Will she have to appear before a clemency board to reinstate her voting rights after she's served her time?

3. Nah, she loses the right to vote forever! nt
