DOJ needs house cleaning
https://www.politico.com/story/2018/03/1...obe-472998

It would be par for the course if a Democratic administration slow rolled turning over documents to a Republican house. But when it happens with a Republican administration, there needs to be some severe house cleaning.

"...Ratcliffe, a former prosecutor, said the forthcoming subpoena was a reflection of frustration among GOP lawmakers with the pace of cooperation from the Justice Department, which also clashed with Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee over classified intelligence about its decisions to surveil a former Trump campaign aide in 2016 and 2017.
“I cannot think of a good plausible explanation for why we would have received so few documents over a five-month period, even given the importance and scrutiny to which all the documents should receive for redaction of sensitive potential national security information,” Ratcliffe said.
Horowitz has signaled that he’s comfortable with the Justice Department sharing records examined by inspector general investigators with Congress, but top Republicans on the Judiciary Committee have complained that they’ve received only a few thousand files...."

If the Trump White House was doing this with a special prosecutor, I wonder if any dims would cry obstruction of justice?

Yup. As Sean Connery said in the "Untouchables"---'If your'e afraid of getting a rotten apple, then get one directly from the tree'.

Fire em all and start over.
