Then they should pass a law that the CBI does not need a warrant to access any records any other branch has. They would be staffed with people with clearance and answering to Congress, and warrants only apply to the gov accessing a citizen.

Final step would be to say that since Congress is representing states that the CBI has this power over state officials and LEO as well. There’s no state’s rights issues since, again, this is the state’s elected official accessing state records.
