'The Department of Justice is (desperately) firing back at House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan after Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray were subpoenaed by the House Judiciary Committee, saying that issuing subpoenas is "premature."
'No need for subpoenas'
"We remain ready to discuss next steps for the Department to address your informational needs while also respecting Executive Branch interests," wrote Carlos Felipe Uriarte, assistant attorney general for the Office of Legislative Affairs. "We have offered to engage with the Committee and provide information voluntarily, so a subpoena is premature."
After the GOP took over the House, in order to stall the Republicans, Democrats and the partisanly weopanized DOJ & FBI told the Republicans they would have to re-submit every RFI (request for information and documents) they had previously submitted.
Garland even told Congress (McCarthy, Jordan, House Republicans) he would NOT comply with requests for information unless HE saw fit to do so, that he would be more than willing to DISCUSS what information HE would be WILLING to release.
They (Drmocrats and Garland) thought they were being pretty smart...
"The overwhelming majority of congressional requests for information are resolved through voluntary discussion and cooperation."
-- US AG Garland
Yeah, Garland showed his definition of 'voluntary discussion and cooperation' was to stall, tell the Republicans they had to resubmit every one of their requests again, and tell McCarthy, Jordan, and Republicans they would only get what he - Garland - wanted to / decided to give them.
That is exactly why Garland and Wray are pushing back against Jordan's subpoenas.
Jordan, through these legal, official subpoenas, just told them, 'F* you, you had your chance, you chose to be assholes, now playtime is OVER!'
'Last week, Jordan subpoenaed Wray, compelling him to turn over documents and communications related to the FBI’s "misuse of federal criminal and counterterrorism resources" to target parents at school board meetings.
Jordan also subpoenaed Garland and Education Secretary Miguel Cardona for documents related to the same matter.
The subpoena compelled Wray to turn over documents to the committee at 9 a.m. ET on March 1.
It also demanded documents related to the Justice Department’s task force that focused on identifying school board threats and the FBI’s role as a member of that task force.'
'Discussion' OVER! 'Stalling' OVER!
US AG Garland and FBI Director Wray, under lawful subpoena, must hand over all requested documents to Jordan NLT 9 a.m. EST on 1 March, 2023 or be guilty of violating a Congressional subpoena!
