FBI only has the power because a judge signed the search warrant. Hold the judges accountable.

The FBI has been known to misrepresent information to judges to obtain warrants. It's not the judges that are exceeding their authority.

A judge's signature is a necessary but insufficient part of such raids. It is absolutely reasonable to hold an agency with a troubled past accountable, regardless of which judge rubber stamps the raids. Hold judges accountable, sure, but the spotlight should be on the agency.
