What are the chances the Obama/Holder Justice Department would ask a Federal judge for a wiretap order between those "federal officials," especially if one of those "federal officials" is a critical vote for the president’s key piece of legislation?

Perhaps that is possible, but it has nothing to do with the case at hand which has to do with private citizens allegedly attempting to wiretap telephone owned by the federal government.
“Landrieu’s Republican counterpart, Sen. David Vitter, called for a racketeering investigation against New Orleans-founded ACORN last year in the wake of O’Keefe’s videos. “
“”I’ve seen the news reports and it’s obvious this is a very serious matter. We’re blessed with an extremely competent U.S. attorney’s office in New Orleans, and I know they’ll handle this as aggressively as they have other serious cases,” Vitter said in a statement.”
