“This is yet another line of obfuscation, stonewalling and delay tactics by the DOJ. They were supposed to deliver the documents to Congress Thursday and then at the last second did what they always do: fail to keep their commitment. Now they are waiting until the opening of the North Korea summit in an attempt to bury it from the public.”

Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fl) told this reporter that the DOJ’s failure to produce documents has put both Congress and the American people in a seemingly never ending predicament that does more harm than good for the nation.

“It’s the same old games and Congress is facilitating this behavior by continuing this back and forth with the Justice Department,” said DeSantis. The lawmaker noted that Congress has the power of the purse and authority to follow through with the contempt proceedings against DOJ Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein.

So hey, anyone know how many U.S. Marshall's we have? And what they're up to? I know, no one wants to spend the summer in D.C., the swamp, but it'd be good practice for the zombie Apocalypse ...

Interestingly, today’s indictment of a Senate staffer for leaking information to the media actually reinforces the DOJ’s stance here.

I’m guessing the document was faked to try to keep Sally Yates, Andy McCabe, Peter Strzok and company out of prison.

It is time to send in the Marines, figuratively, of course. Trump needs to send in military investigators accompanied by as much force as necessary and secure custody of these documents. The DOJ is in open revolt and seems to answer to no master other than the swamp.

Enough with the bloody talk. ARREST THEM.

Isn’t there a SINGLE US Marshall that would deputize 1000 patriots to go in there and start arresting people. I’m sure that Gitmo, Leavenworth or Portsmouth have room. If not, Sheriff Joe can help set up a tent prison in Death Valley.

Congress needs to hold Sessions and all of them in contempt. President Trump as president needs to issue executive order directing DOJ and FBI to immediately release unredacted docs as requested to Congress. Give them until Monday, else resignations on his desk. President Trump can fix this and should.

This is Session's place of employment. And Sessions is the boss.

If it is happening as it is stated, it is because Sessions wants it like this.

Trump must take the initiative - now.

(1) Grant blanket pardons to ALL persons touched by the Russia investigation.

(2) Declassify and publicly release ALL documents related to the Russia investigation.

(3) Let the voters read the documents and decide who is corrupt, and who is not.

I agree that this is unacceptable, and for Congress to allow it to continue just encourages more of the behavior, less cooperation, less expectation of integrity in the process.

I am not sure what we can do, to influence Congress to do something differently.
