There is also a long standing American tradition that when a Federal Judge signs a warrant, that the warrant is served.

I guess you can pick your traditions and I’ll pick mine.

And just an FYI. Aren’t we glad this warrant was served?

Yes, the judge signs the warrant. Then the person who is to serve the warrant asks the permission of the Speaker of the House.

Seems pretty clear cut to me.

You were aware, of course, of the Separation of Powers doctrine weren't you?

That means, among other things, that the Congress has jurisdiction over the Capitol Building, grounds, and other facilities for which it may own or pay rent. From time to time they invite the Executive to lend them the services of their investigators to check things out.

Otherwise, the Congress is responsible for order in its own precincts, not the Executive.

The raid in question was UNPRECEDENTED in American history. The perpetrators should be disposed of as treasonous rabble.
