The Biden White House is taking the offensive against incoming House Republicans and their plans to launch oversight actions once the next session of Congress starts, sending letters through a special counsel informing Reps. James Comer, R-Ky., and Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, that the administration has no plans at this time to respond to the records requests they have been making.
Special Counsel Richard Sauber, in the letters obtained exclusively by Politico, said the requests are not legitimate under the Constitution because Jordan and Comer have not yet been delegated to head their committees.
Sauber, a top oversight lawyer for the White House, said the administration will operate in "good faith" with members of Congress, but said that oversight demands made during the last session of Congress will need to be restarted in the next session, which starts Jan. 3.

We all know it.
McCarthy, McConnell, McDaniels are the WORST leaders the republican party has ever had.
The Biden regime will just stonewall everything for the next 2 years. The republican house will issue numerous reports which will receive no media coverage.
“We don’ need no stinkin’ oversight!”
Doesn’t the House have the power of the purse?
They’re stupidly fighting in a house that’s on fire.
Shortly, some Great Leader will come along, and amid the cheap disorder, make Order popular — and he will rule.
That will be True Tyranny, as he will not have any limits.
Of course they are.
The Dems are ALWAYS two steps ahead of the Republicans.
“The Biden regime will just stonewall everything for the next 2 years”.
That’s right. The Dems have everything in place to insure they never again lose control and power.
That goes for both the Legislative and Executive branches.
They are afraid to use it
“The Biden White House is...sending letters through a special counsel informing Reps. James Comer, R-Ky., and Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, that the administration has no plans at this time to respond to the records requests they have been making.”
Were I the GOP Congress I’d respond by telling the Biden Regime that we have no plans at this time to respond to any of their budget requests.
Not with "Omnibus" and ongoing resolutions to prevent Dastardly Government "Shutdowns".
The HoR controls the country's purse strings. If McCarthy had any balls (he doesn't) he'd declare the $1.7T Omnibus package DOA in the next Congress and refuse to spend a single penny of it, period. Refuse to write the check.
That's the biggest negotiating power McCarthy has right now. Any chances he'll do what I just said?
NOT A CHANCE IN HELL.
Corrected headline: biden white house wants to continue its crime spree, opposes Republicans efforts to bring it to justice.
To be honest, at this point if that person’s name was Pinochet or Franco, I’d be all for it.
“Doesn’t the House have the power of the purse?”
Not anymore. McConnell saw to that.

Jordan is a FIGHTER!!!!
As the GOP winks.
What would stop the administration from spending unbudgeted money? They control all the law enforcement agencies.
