I do not like the Executive usurping the autonomy and independence of the Legislative. This is exactly what they have done in assuming the power to invade the Offices of the Legislative Branch even if in collaboration with the Judiciary.
Nonsense. This case represents no force to inhibit or influence the drafting or passage of legislation unless the member is taking bribes. Legislators have passed laws against legislators taking bribes for time immemorial.
I also think there are plenty of ways for the Enforcement folks to acquire evidence of wrongdoing or corruption of our elected officials without 'Crossing the Rubicon" rifling the files or entering the offices of our elected officials.
They got a warrant. The separation of powers was respected.
That is why our Founders put our elected officials out of reach of the Executive while they are doing their appointed jobs. A circumstance which has increasingly been encroached upon by the Executive.
The scope of which only adressed the construction of legislation. Not criminality.
I can see a future Administration invading the offices of the legislative during an impeachment proceeding or critical vote.
At which point the Legislature could add charges of abuse of power and conclude impeachment.
His arrogant "above the law" refusal to turn them over made the next step necessary.
