Computer Files Discussed Democrats' Strategy on Bush Judicial Nominations

The Senate sergeant-at-arms has opened an investigation into Republicans obtaining and publicizing internal memos from the computer and network resources of two Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Late Tuesday, Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) confirmed that his inquiry had found that a member of his staff "had improperly accessed some of the documents" and a second former staff member "may also have been involved."

Aren't these the same DemocRATS who tossed up walls to block inquiries to the leaks involving national security after 9/11? I seem to recall them being able to thrawt an FBI investigation, or attempted one.
