Justice Department tells Jim Jordan it won't share information about ongoing investigations [View all]

And so it seems that the DOJ refuses to compromise its work in order to appease Gym Jordan about investigations regarding President Biden, January 6th and any Congressional involvement as such. It appears Gym Jordan is being told in an eloquent manner....."Fuck off"

The Justice Department signaled Friday it’s unlikely to share information about ongoing criminal investigations with the new GOP-controlled House, in a move that’s certain to frustrate Republicans in the chamber.

In a letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan responding to a flurry of document requests, the DOJ said that “any oversight requests must be weighed against the department’s interests in protecting the integrity of its work.”

The letter added: “The Department’s mission to independently and impartially uphold the rule of law requires us to maintain the integrity of our investigations, prosecutions, and civil actions, and to avoid even a perception that our efforts are influenced by anything but the law and the facts.”
