I post this because I can't quite understand how this could possibly bring about a constitutional crisis. Perhaps someone can explain it to me. It doesn't seem to be a Democrat/Republican thing, since some Republicans went ballistic on the FBI for this, including Speaker Hastert.

If someone is accused of a federal crime, why shouldn't the FBI be investigating, so long as they have warrants? Is there something I'm missing?
