President Examining Congressional Staff; Congress Ignores President
This news shows the President and others will use FBI to examine Congressional staff counsel. Congress needs to explalin why isn't doing the same against the Executive Branch. At best, by blocking DOJ IG from reviewing DOJ Staff counsel miconduct, the Senate is turning a blind eye; at worst, the House refuses to check the President.
A weak House, refusing to investigate or impeach the President, should be forced to suffer FBI intrusions. It's the people's house. The President and others are rightly looking at alleged Member of Congress misconduct. The Congress has a responsibility to do the same in re Executive Branch employee misconduct, including the President. Time for the House to start impeachment investigations.

They should be investigating the DOJ too for politically motivated investigations. But this is not real smart of Bush and Mukasey. The only way they don't get a pass is if they threaten Congress and they're too weak at this point to be intimidating anymore.

WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!!
All beware the poster of this blog is a known spammer on TPM that throws unsubstantiated allegations on the news blogs that link to his unsubstantiated rants on this blog.
If you chose to leave a comment on his blog that does not agree with his conspiracy driven dribble, the blogger will in turn attack you. He has a history of flaming people throughout the TPM site.
He rants that anyone that disagrees with him is somehow connected to the DOJ, attempting to spread misinformation since the poster does not agree with him, attempts to connect the poster to another poster in a means of discrediting him/her, or attempts to claim the commenter is violating TPM policy for posting a divergent point of view.
While there may be some truth in the posting, it is only surely a result of pure accident on his part if there is so. Testing simply posts things he does not know about and then says because no one has stopped to explain the topic to him and the ins and outs, there must be a conspiracy.
Proceed at your own risk.
