At the last minute, Rep Sensenbrenner called for a House Judiciary investigation on the case. Sen. Feinstein also wrote a letter to Sen. Spector for a Senate investigation.

Mrs. Feinstein said in a letter Monday to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, Pennsylvania Republican, requesting a full hearing into the matter.
She asked Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales last week to investigate the case. The U.S. attorney’s office in El Paso, which reports to the Justice Department, prosecuted the two agents.
In a letter to President Bush, Rep. Walter B. Jones, North Carolina Republican, asked the White House to review the case, saying the prosecution was “outrageous.” He said it did nothing but “tie the hands of the Border Patrol and prevent the agency from securing America against a flood of illegal immigrants, drugs, counterfeit goods and, quite possibly, terrorists.”
“This demoralizing prosecution puts the rights of illegal smugglers ahead of our homeland security and undermines the critical mission of better enforcing immigration laws,” Mr. Jones said. “These two agents should not be made scapegoats for our government’s enforcement failures.”

Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr., Wisconsin Republican and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, called for a congressional investigation and open hearings on the case during an immigration field hearing in El Paso. The committee’s investigation is expected to begin before the end of the year.

Too bad legislators couldn’t have gotten off the pot before these agents even went to trial!
