    House Judiciary Committee passes resolution demanding DOJ hand over documents

    I believe the DOJ and FBI are using delaying tactics to give the Mueller investigation as much time as it possibly can before the whole truth of the setup becomes evident.


    The House Judiciary Committee — which will host Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Thursday — passed a resolution demanding the Justice Department produce documents within 14 days that have been left over from outstanding subpoenas.

    The resolution was spearheaded by Republican Reps. Mark Meadows of North Carolina and Jim Jordan of Ohio — the leaders of the House Freedom Caucus — and is the latest chapter of a long-running back-and-forth between Trump-allied lawmakers and the DOJ.


    The measure passed 15-11 and comes less than 24 hours after the DOJ told House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., that he had all the documents and materials he has requested relating to the FBI’s Hillary Clinton and Russia investigations.



    The measure demands the DOJ fully comply with subpoenas from Nunes and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va.


    However, there is nothing in the resolution that would penalize the DOJ if it fails to comply, though House Republicans have previously threatened Rosenstein with impeachment.


    Nunes demanded more documents from the DOJ and FBI on Sunday, setting a Monday afternoon deadline following a Friday letter from the FBI telling him how the bureau had fulfilled his requests.


    The FBI also told Goodlatte and House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., on Friday that it had fulfilled his extensive subpoena in March regarding the FBI and Justice Department’s Clinton and Russia probes.

    "
    The intent is to call to attention to the Department of Justice that they are not in compliance with what is requested of them," said Goodlatte on Tuesday, who voted for the resolution, even though he said he was not sure it “is completely necessary.”


    Jordan said GOP lawmakers “are sick and tired of the Department of Justice giving us the runaround."

    "What I want is the full weight of the House behind this resolution saying give us what we're entitled to have," he added.
    But Jordan may be at odds with House leadership, who will decide whether or not to bring the resolution to the floor for a full vote.
    "I got involved a week ago. And since that, we have had compliance coming forth from the DOJ," said House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., earlier Tuesday during his weekly news conference. "Now the question is will all the requests be honored this week? I think they're going to be honored very, very soon."
    Jordan, like other House conservatives, have demanded the documents amid allegations that the DOJ and FBI had bias in their investigations into Clinton and Trump.
    They have most recently seized on a DOJ inspector general report, which found bias among top officials on the investigations.
    However, that political bias did not affect the outcome of the investigation into Clinton, said the IG.

    The Congress is worthless. Start impeachment hearings against Wray and Rosenstein.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Democrats many probably have never been down under. Thus have never seen a boomerang. You toss it.....give it some elbow too, wing the thing(kinda like donttread when it comes to foreign policy)...and it comes right back and...if yer not careful, slice your fingers off. You makes the blades sharp...you send it off into the wild blue yonder without direction....you best be alert. Prepared. If you ain't. Ouch.
