Remember those FBI agents who searched the Congressional office of Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA)?  Remember the uproar that ensued from Congressional leaders of their rights and separation of powers?  

I admit that I was skeptical of their argument at the time, but this news puts it in a new light.  Snarky post title aside, if this reported FBI behavior is true, then Members may be well within their rights to claim that the whole search was mishandled.

The DOJ's response?

This is turning out to be quite the developing story.  We'll keep you posted on the latest back-and-forth between the Justice Department and Congress.
