Feeney's Former Chief of Staff Resigns

It's heating up in the Feeney camp.

Earlier this year, Jason Roe, Feeney's Chief of Staff, left to go work on Mitt Romney's campaign as its Chief. Feeney came out big for Romney and things were going well until Monday's story in the St. Petersburg Times and Orlando Sentinel that Feeney was under FBI investigation.

Then, yesterday, this:

Jason Roe, who functioned as the campaign's top daily operating officer, told
campaign officials today that he planned to leave.

"Jason informed the campaign on Tuesday that he decided to resign, citing familial obligations," said Matt Rhoades, Romney's communications director, in a prepared statement. "We understood and accepted what must have been a hard decision."
I'm betting that it's more related to this. It's a bad sign when your former top man drops out.
