Imagine This
The Washington Post leads with House Speaker Dennis Hastert and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi issuing a joint statement demanding the Justice Department unhand the files taken in the bribe-related raid of Rep. William Jefferson's office. The Post says the raid is "the first time that the FBI has executed a search warrant on the Capitol Hill office of a sitting lawmaker." A piece inside the WP says the move might have been impolitic and uncustomary, but it probably wasn't illegal.
Imagine this for just one moment.

House majority leader Nancy Pelosi grabs a bunch of Capitol Hill police to raid the White House to retrieve evidence of Presidential wrongdoing.

I think calling the raid on Congress "impolitic and uncustomary" is a bit of an understatement.
