But they DID try to get permission, for MONTHS ON END, and the congress refused.

So they got the 3rd branch of government to agree with the 2nd branch of government that the 1st branch doesn't have the absolute authority to refuse a valid search warrant.

Then Hastert said bad things about the president, things that played into the democrat's constant harping of the president "overstepping his authority". When this wasn't anything like that, because a FEDERAL JUDGE HAD APPROVED THE RAID.

Hastert could have chosen to attack the judiciary, but he didn't, and he hurt his party.

But that's not what this is about, it's about Hastert having an opportunity to at least act on allegations, and having chosen a path that turned out to be the wrong path.

The courts and the executive are INFERIOR TO the Congress.

Period.

There's really nothing to discuss except firing the FBI agents.
