DOJ reserves right to not cooperate with certain House GOP requests

[Scott]

The Justice Department is signaling that it has the right to not cooperate with Hill Republicans’ requests to peek into their ongoing investigations, a top official wrote in a letter obtained by POLITICO.

“Consistent with longstanding policy and practice, any oversight requests must be weighed against the Department’s interests in protecting the integrity of its work,” Carlos Uriarte, DOJ’s legislative affairs chief, wrote in the five-page letter.

“Longstanding Department policy prevents us from confirming or denying the existence of pending investigations in response to congressional requests or providing non-public information about our investigations.”

One thing the GOP wants is to sabotage the investigation of Trump by forcing the Justice Dept to reveal details of its investigations including witnesses.

The DOJ doesn’t want Jim Jordan to turn their investigations into a circus ???? and to protect witnesses from threats they aren’t going to feed Donnie information

With the full backing of William Barr who appointed him special prosecutor, John Durham failed abysmally, despite the fact that he had unfettered access to inside information. 

What rational reason do you have for thinking this committee can come up with anything more?
