The Department of Justice, including its various subsidiary organizations like the Federal Bureau of Investigation regularly testifies before the House Judiciary committee and other members of Congress. For instance, DOJ testifying about Internet Gambling (including active cases) before House Judiciary subcommittee: http://judiciary.house.gov/media/pdfs/ohr040506.pdf What probably “crosses the line” is when comments are made privately to house representatives rather than as congressional or subcommittee testimony. Also generally, it is not permitted to reveal certain details of ongoing investigations. For more information or assistance, contact me LeheckaG on AskVille.
