Okay, so this is clearly corrupt, but is it illegal?

If not, add it to the United States Congress' many failings. If it is, since they spy on everything, it really shouldn't be hard to convict everyone who spilled the beans early.

Third amendment was tested in 2011 when Nevada police decided they wanted to occupy the house of a disinterested neighbour to a suspect and then when he refused, bashed down his door, shot him with pepper balls, pulled him out of his house and jailed him for obstruction. Then went across the street to his dad's house, tricked him out of the house, and arrested him too when he tried to go back home. Charges were dropped, and courts ultimately decided that police are not peacetime military, so 3A doesn't apply.
