"They need to get them on something." I know. It's tough though. There's not much in the US Code about "criminal mischief" or "disturbing the peace" or even "disorderly conduct", those are all state violations.
The fact of the matter is they didn't really cause any commotion while they were there - no disorder, no mischief and no disturbance. It's going to take a very enterprising prosecutor, and a very gullible judge to make anything stick.

I pretty sure that there is pressure on the Department of Justise to get rid of this problem.

I can't shake the notion that this was a
publicity stunt that the WH might have created.
Please, anyone, feel free to correct me if my hunch is clearly in error.
