FBI Raids Legislative Office The FBI raided the legislative office California State Senator Ron Calderon yesterday. Not much is know and the Senator has referred comment to his lawyer. The last time the FBI raided lawmakers’ offices was in 1988, in a bribery scandal dubbed "Shrimpscam." We’ll talk about it with Jim Ashford, who was legislative counsel at the time. We’ll also get an update on this latest investigation from Capitol Bureau Chief Ben Adler.
