Denny gets huffy about the FBI raid on Jefferson’s office.
“Once I have more information about this raid made available to me, I have had an opportunity to carefully consider the long-term ramifications for the Legislative Branch of this action, and I have consulted with the appropriate bipartisan leaders of the House, I expect to seek a means to restore the delicate balance of power among the branches of government that the Founders intended.”
Presumably, there was a search warrant. Then again, maybe not given the Administration of late, but the only protection Members of Congress have in relation to criminal cases is to not be stopped and held from reaching Congress during session. The separation of powers is serious, but in this case, the other two branches must act in concert to have a warrant issued and that is consistent with the Constitution.
Gee, Denny, how about phone records for Members of Congress being obtained without a warrant–THAT doesn’t concern you?
