“But we want to spread selective information and lies now!” -House Republicans
The whole point of Congress' power to investigation is for legislative purposes. There's no legislative reason to get involved in an on-going criminal investigation except to try and obstruct it. >


Jordan spokesperson Russell Dye responded to Monday’s letter by saying, “It’s concerning, to say the least, that the Department is more interested in playing politics than cooperating.”

Yeah, I did a double take when I read this line. Like wait what, the DOJ is investigating, doing their job, while Gym’s time is mostly spent doing political theater. Not even playing politics or doing his job. Just political theater and sabotaging the functioning of the US government. >


It’s concerning, to say the least, that [insert name here] is more interested in playing politics than cooperating.

It's basically a conservative madlib. They used the same on Obama all the time whenever he didn't roll over and do what they demanded.
For half a decade, any request that the Tea Party get serious and attempt to govern was "playing politics"; any fallout as a result of Republican shenanigans was "a failure of leadership."
I don't imagine they're going to come up with any new material over the next two years, either. >

That's funny because they didn't ask to see anything from trump's special counsel probe.
Maybe they just forgot. >

Of course they asked.  So they could immediately leak it to Trump. >

The House committee republicans were getting nearly weekly updates from the DOJ, off-site from Congress. Then we had "breaking leaks" every Friday do common that "F5 Fridays" were a thing for two years +. >


The Justice Department told Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio on Monday that it will not provide most of the information he requested about the ongoing special counsel investigation into President Joe Biden’s handling of classified material until that probe is complete >

Investigators tend to not give evidence to the people they're investigating. Kinda defeats the purpose. >

It's nice to finally see some "What do you think we're stupid?" responses from the DOJ. >

Were they not saying previous that they wouldn't provide any until the investigation ends? >

"yeah, no, we're not going to hand over the contents of an ongoing investigation so that you can sabotage it through leaks and interference." >

Then again, if they make sure Biden absolutely can't be prosecuted letting the GQP taint all the evidence is a good way to do it. Lol >

There's no indication he knew he had the documents so there's no reason to think he'd be prosecuted in the first place. It's not like Trump where he knew about the documents and refused to hand them over until a year and a half later after a subpoena and a search warrant forced him to. >

DOJ also states in the letter that “disclosing non-public information about ongoing investigations could violate statutory requirements or court orders, reveal roadmaps for our investigations, and interfere with the Department’s ability to gather facts, interview witnesses and bring criminal prosecutions where warranted.” >

I know it won't happen because it's literally insane, but it would be funny if it somehow came to light that the documents they found in biden's garage were planted there by some Trump sycophant who took them from maralago. >

That would certainly explain any ketchup stains found on them. >

DOJ vs the COJ ( Committee for Obstruction of Justice ) >

“We’ll see, but we’re definitely looking at asking for documents via subpoena,” he said. “But we don’t know whether that will happen yet.” >

I wonder how he figures he will get people to respond to his subpoenas, when he himself just ignored a subpoena from the same committee he now chairs. >

I would love Dems to use the precedent set by Republicans ignoring subpoenas but I do not believe for a second that they will. Additionally, while Dems refused to use powers at their disposal to compel Republicans to obey the subpoenas, Republicans will not hesitate to use whatever powers they have. One of the reasons I fucking hating moderate Dems. >

It would be something if they showed up to the cmte meetings and just answer “I don’t recall” to everything >

Yes just show up, please the fifth or answer in irrelevant diatribes like Republicans. Actually just ask Gym why he supports child rape >

I'm just here so I won't be fined. >

So while you're waiting, you treasonous little shits, why don't you all lube up and twirl around with your thumbs up your buttholes, because that is the extent of your agenda - wasting America's time and money on more republican bullshit. >

2 year shelf life minimum on any and all investigations by this DOJ. Sit down and take a number Jimmy boy >

Gym, you don't even know how to do your job, and you're going to try doing ours? >

Jim Jordan has a bag of dicks for brains. >

There are over 200 Republicans to choose from. Giving Gym Jordan power speaks volumes. >

Fuck Gym Jordan and his partisan witch hunt.  This guy covered for a child molester and became gop darling >

As is standard practice.
