DOJ Tells Republican Congress Not to Expect Cooperation and Thank You snarky and passive aggressive Lawfare
The U.S. Dept of Justice (DOJ) has sent a five-page letter to congress, copying Politico for the public distribution therein. [SEE pdf HERE]

The snarky and passive aggressive Lawfare tone inside the letter is rather remarkable in its sanctimony and condescension. Essentially, Main Justice is telling congressional oversight, specifically House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, not to expect any timely responses because there’s a lot going on.

Additionally, as the letter directly implies, republican oversight is not in the favor of the current administration or DOJ and, well, in general terms, get over it – they aren’t complying. However, feel free to initiate the formal negotiation process that will likely take several years.


From the letter to Jim Jordan, “Your January 17 requests—made now in your position as Chairman—initiate the constitutionally mandated accommodation process. Under this process, the Legislative and Executive Branches have a constitutional obligation to negotiate in good faith to meet the informational needs of Congress while protecting the institutional interests of the Executive Branch. We look forward to beginning this process in response to your January 17 letters.” (link)

(Via Politico) – […] The letter, addressed to Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), acknowledges the GOP’s multiple requests for information during the last Congress but doesn’t divulge any new information. Instead, Uriarte outlines how he hopes DOJ could have a “productive relationship” with Republicans in the new Congress, as Jordan had in previous letters accused the DOJ of “stonewalling” their requests, raised the possibility of a subpoena and said the committee could resort to “compulsory practices” to obtain the requested information and documents.

Start cutting funding until compliance. We have arrived at a crossroads and this is the first test to see who is serious.

This shit amazes me. I'm a retiree from a relatively small (budget wise) Federal Agency. Part of my job was to provide financial info to Congress. I never met a Representative, Senator or anyone higher.

BUT when a low life Representative STAFFER would come sniffing around, we all got on our knees and barked like dogs.

BUT the DOJ can tell the oversight, I'll say that again, OVERSIGHT Committee Chairman to pound salt, I'm speechless.

All Republicans have to do is cut funding to the DOJ on any bill that goes through the house.

If it doesn't pass the house they don't get paid.

There will one day (probably soon) be a REAL insurrection. Not the play acting 2 years ago that everyone makes a big deal out of. When the real shit goes down it will look more like Ukraine. Maybe they don't care because its too far gone anyway and therefore they just circle the wagons around the pedophile drug overdosed syndicate called the Biden Mafia. They know the Republican Congress will fund them so they simply don't care.

Congress can't SUE DOJ. Congress can ELIMINATE them through funding. But they won't. It's just all theater.

The Honorable Jim Jordan
Chairman
Committee on the Judiciary
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515


Dear Chairman Jordan:
We are in receipt of your January 17, 2023, letters to the Department of Justice
(Department), as well as three of our law enforcement components, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), regarding information requests that you sent during the 117th
Congress.
1 In light of your appointment as Chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary
(Committee), the Department would like to take this opportunity to review our practices with
respect to congressional engagement for the benefit of both new and returning Members of the
Committee. We look forward to a productive relationship in the 118th Congress.

We welcome your interest in the Department’s work. The Office of Legislative Affairs
(OLA) is responsible for communications between Congress and the Department. Please begin
any inquiry to the Department with OLA personnel. You are welcome to contact OLA staff
directly or to phone the OLA front office at 202-514-4600 for assistance. We request that all
official correspondence to the Department be transmitted by email to
[email protected]. The Department will ensure that each congressional letter and
inquiry receives its own consideration by OLA and Department personnel based on subject
matter and complexity.

While the Department strives to answer congressional inquiries
promptly, ensuring the accuracy and completeness of information that the Department provides
to Congress is a matter of utmost importance.


The Department stands ready to provide expertise as the Committee considers
potential legislation. We often provide technical assistance on draft or introduced legislation
to ensure the drafters are aware of how it may impact civil litigation, criminal investigations
and prosecutions, grant making, and other matters within the Department’s purview, and to
ensure its constitutionality. We encourage you to share legislative drafts as early as possible
because our review can be time-consuming. Early consultation with the Department will help

Looks like The People had better get ready to square off with the big (too big) Bad (really bad) FBI and the rest of DoJ. Because it seems to me that is the insinuation behind the letter to Mr.Jordan.
Does Jordan and the GOP have enough support in the House to even get their attention of the narcissists in the alphabet outfits? After barely squeaking through to become the chair in what was it , 15 votes or something?
