Inspector finds FBI made calls in hunt for Democrats
Associated Press


An FBI agent, in response to a request from the Texas Department of Public Safety, made two calls to the cellular phone of a Texas legislator during the search for Democrats who had fled the state to Oklahoma during in May, a Justice Department investigation has found.

However, the investigators said in a report released today that no other Justice Department employees assisted the state of Texas in the search that stemmed from a political dispute.

The inspector general's report said that calls were made to three Justice Department offices -- Washington, Texas and Oklahoma FBI offices and to the U.S. Attorney's office in San Antonio.

"We found that in response to these requests, department employees, with one exception, recognized that this was a state matter and did not provide any assistance to the search for Texas legislators," the Justice Department report said. -
