The reply from the GOP should be, “There are limits to our funding the DOJ.” It’s called the power of the purse, now use it.

[Yogafist]

The appropriate answer should be, there are limits to your funding, which will cease to exist. But this gives the republicans an excuse to not deliver. Nothing new.

[Yogafist]

LoL. Beat me to it.

[AnthonySoprano]

Hunter Biden has been under “Investigation” since 2018.

Anyone with half a brain knows they see themselves as in business primarily to protect Joe Biden and Swamp Royalty.

[AnthonySoprano]

The Republicans give them whatever crazy funding increase they want.

That’s the reality of it.

[Yogafist]

The gop should start sending out subpoenas to everyone. Any one who doesn’t respond should be referred to the doj for prosecution. Of course they won’t be prosecuted, but it will give a boost to those appealing convictions for the same.

[AnthonySoprano]

it’s Past tense now.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Congressional Republicans should simply reply: “There are limits to your next budget allocation, too.”

But they are way too scared to ever go there.

[Vision]

Wicked corruption. Will it ever end?

:::::...any oversight requests must be weighed against the Department’s interests in protecting the integrity of its work.....:::::

They want to also exclude oversight of the failure to act with integrity. Lack of integrity is part of their means and methods they cannot have exposed.

The DOJ is a structural device, but it does nothing by itself. It is People who do everything that it does. They are on the public payroll. Every one of them is subject to investigation, exposure, and prosecution, just like any other public servant. In light of the outrageous miscarriages of Justice we have seen, every single employee of these agencies should be investigated, and the wrongdoers dealt with. This is not unreasonable.

Jim Jordan and the others should reply to the DOJ:

“We control the purse strings, we’ll cut your budget $1 million dollars per day until you cooperate.”

[Newbomb Turk]

The need to have 100% of their funding cut until they comply then turn 50% back on. 50% or less.

[grumpygresh]

Scotus gave prosecutors qualified immunity. As a result there is very little to check prosecutorial misconduct and cover-ups. I doubt Scotus will change their opinion. Congress needs to exercise their power of the purse if they can’t get answers and documents.
Congress should work on legislation that can check abuses from judicial/prosecutorial immunity. We need the means of stripping prosecutors of their jobs and restitution for victims.
In the meantime, juries should default to acquittals in federal case.

The ball is in your court, Jimmy. What are you going to do about that, write more letters?

[spintreebob]

cut off the money. No budget, no appropriations.

[The Antiyuppie]

Agreed, zeroing them out will get their attention. Same with the fibs.

[The Antiyuppie]

“The ball is in your court, Jimmy. What are you going to do about that, write more letters?”

Well, they COULD be strongly worded.
That’ll show ‘em.
