Yeah... but the FBI doesn't need to write to Congress every time it decides to make an arrest. Congress delegates broad powers to the executive branch and in this case my understanding is that there were relatively few carveouts limiting what could be done with these loans. What I'm asking about is what specifically did the court reference when they said that this action was an overstepping of the branch's authority?
