If there are people doing bad things in this office and the authorites have the proper warrants and such, fine, investigate and follow the evidence, but I do have a problem wit this statement - "An FBI spokeswoman confirmed that it was at the office 'performing normal law enforcement activities' but declined to offer specifics. She said details would not come unless charges are filed."

Shoddy reporting or intentional obfuscation by the FBI?  No mention of warrants, just a raid fishing for evidence?

I think if I were a Sheriff in America today I would be concerned about my independence and have to start thinking about what to do if this becomes habit forming...our Sheriffs may be the last link between the citizen and police, everything else being overrun by FedGov.  There are several Sheriff's out there not too popular by Obamites and other statists...
