DOJ and Congress
Posted on 06/08/2018 12:20:35 PM PDT by detective
The Department of Justice reneged on a commitment to provide access to documents they promised to congressional lawmakers by Thursday morning. Instead, DOJ issued a press release after midnight suggesting they will only meet with a group of select lawmakers to discuss the matter on the same day the North Korea summit opens in Singapore, according to numerous sources and a DOJ statement.
Moreover, the Justice Department also issued new stipulations for briefing congressional members and limited the meeting with only the Gang of Eight, which is comprised of eight leaders within Congress who are briefed on classified intelligence matters.

I’m with you, Child. The IG report is one way to get the info out, but also factual filings by the DOJ in the many prosecutions that are sure to occur now.
After yesterday’s Wolfe indictment, it’s clear that there is a wholly unexpected - to me anyway - angle for the sources of leaks. Obviously, there is not only a deep state cabal in the DOJ and FBI, but in Congress also.
The Wolfe indictment is overflowing with hints that there are many more avenues of investigation that will be followed within the hallowed halls of Congress. There’s a lot more to come out of this.
So how many of the other 26 leak investigations (Sessions said a few months ago that there were 27 open leak probes) involve Congress critters or their staff?
What if the hammer is about to drop on other “Wolfes” in the House or Senate? What if there are a whole network of presstitutes about to be uncovered just like the Ali Watkins woman, who are preying on middle-aged Congress critters and staff? How many of these presstitutes also have had their communications monitored by investigators?
What if the DOJ already knows who is compromised in Congress, and some of them are on the oversight committees?
This new turn in the leak investigations could explain nicely the DOJ’s reluctance to release ANY classified info to anyone in Congress!
Trump should attend the committee hearing and require the top 5 of the FBI and the top 5 of the DOJ to attend. Give both number ones a chance to comply, FIRE them on the spot if they don’t and tell the #2’s they are now in charge. Repeat the process and have the next 5 in line show up the next day until someone does what they are told.
Jordan, DeSantis, Meadows, Goodlatte, Nunes, Gaetz don't know what is in the documents. They only know what they are shown unredacted.
LOL.
I bet you all try to sweep this disgusting Sessions blame campaign under the rug like it never happened.
Why should I sweep it under the rug. Sessions told me under oath that he was going to recuse himself and then he did. And I believed him. I took him at his word. Nothing wrong with that.
You, on the other hand, will have to explain why you were wrong and why you refused to take Jeff Sessions at his word.
Ouch!
“Worse than that. I’m coming to the conclusion that Sessions was one of the planted spies.”
He was/is. The deepstate wing of the Repuki party(rinos and neverTrumpers) descended upon the Trump campaign when it looked like he may win and made hiring demands—’Hire our guys for key positions or we won’t pass your agenda’.
Trump was repaid with treachery. Sessions is one of their most successful moles. See tagline
^^This
so who did the president fire?
Ahhhhh. More 3 D chess by Sessions/ s. Fire Him. He’s worthless
Congress can hold in contempt if there’s a majority of the full house that votes for it.
Iffy, at best, with all the agents for the deep state which hold office.
Even then, are we sure Trump would enforce the contempt charge? I would like to think he would. But I don’t know...Trump jailing Rosenstein on a matter related to “Russia” may be problematic for him.
I’m sure DOJ has gamed this out and figured it’s worth the risk.
I’m not saying it should have no external control. I’m just suggesting this isn’t the best way to go about doing it. I’m also pointing out that I don’t trust the DOJ’s external control any more than I trust the DOJ.
Read the recent letters Sen. Grassley has sent to Rosenstein where he demands to see the unredacted documents. Of greater importance ... read the additional questions he asks Rosenstein. Grassley isn’t looking for information. He’s looking for Rosenstein to tell him something publicly that Grassley already knows.
Then he can say because of the information from the IG, and as Potus in charge of Justice Dept he will drain the swamp.
><
Good thinking! I like it.
“It is time to send in the Marines, figuratively, of course.”
No, the FBI, CIA and Justice are in insurrection and it’s time to not only send in the Marines but the Army Airborne, too.
We need an American-style Nuremberg trial to clean out the traitors.
- Sleepy needs to be held in contempt and impeached
- A patriot needs to leak the documents
Congress should warn them that when this is over and they were hiding info they will be charged with obstruction of justice. Of course that assumes we get real leadership in the DOJ.
Why would they do that? “Congress” is on the DOJ’s “side.” in this. They both want to obstruct POTUS and his agenda.
Congress already knows what’s in them, too.
That’s false. If it was true we would have heard of bombshells like Halper long ago. The DOJ is stonewalling Team Trump and his supporters. Democrats already know what is in the docs because they did the Obama admin did the dirty deeds.
But who complained when it was the _bama DOJ doing the stonewalling?
Wolfe was indicting for lying to the FBI. Burr took great glee in pointing out it was not for mishandling docs. This will be a nothing burger in the end due to Wolfe getting top cover from the media and GOPe.
I can only conclude that Pres Trump lets the DOJ get away eith this for a reason. He could order them to turn over the specific documents.
My question to myself is why he doesn’t order it.
