So I guess the question is: Did they need a warrant? Who's property is that? IMO it's property of the legislative branch, so the executive should have a warrant. Not sure what the law says though.

Ownership might be complicated. Its a legislative office that's leased from a courthouse.

They surely needed a warrant since they were not in hot pursuit of a criminal; hence the need to fabricate a story about rioters.
