By the way stop being so convoluted with your argument. In order to find fraud, waste and abuse (Which you claim can happen) first they must actually be in constant watch for any laws, mismanagement of funds, or corruption (OVERSIGHT) found in the other two Branches then investigate their charges, duh!
Guess what, The E Branch has the Justice Dept. and USSC has Judicial review. Holy Moly a well designed “inefficient” government that checks each branch so that men can truly be free. And a bonus provision attached with that as well, division of powers with the States, only bone head voters blind to corruption could screw this gift up.

So you think that the Executive is allowed then to rummage through the drawers and files of everyone in Congress in the name of oversight or does it just work one way for you? Why do think that the Justice Department cannot do this? (or did you not know that?)

The FBI never successfully investigated a sitting Congresscritter before, that is news to me.



Some forced to resign rather than have fellow congresscritters kick them out all due to an Executive Branch investigation. Like I said news to me.

The FBI did managed to keep the cash and not all documents were returned. What is your point, that Jefferson's homework could be taken. Do you actually think that is what oversight is all about? Demand to know what is in the desk/safe etc...No, it's is a constant, efficient, and beneficial check in making sure laws/funding are being followed. You make it sound like a break in operation to go through someones private stash.
