If it were you or me impeding an investigation with threats like that, do you think the term "obstruction of justice" would enter the conversation?

"The congresswoman characterizes the evidence as “belonging” to her and argues that therefore it cannot be seized unless Capitol Police tell her that she personally, as opposed to her staffer, is a target of the investigation.”

Who says DWS is that good friends with the runaways? It is just as likely that there are things on the hard drive that she doesn't want seeing the light of day.
