I tried to get everyones attention last week regarding the Trump White House issuing instructions to simply ignore any oversight requests from Democrats but alas.....

Just thought would add this to the thread where things are beginning to develop cracks....like Fox.

Of course the trolls on here will find this not a discussion point, not a symptom but yet another excuse to attack another person who dares criticizes Trump, but they will be turning on their own as Grassley is a pretty powerful Republican.

In history of the entire world, not many sitting administrations EVER to be this NON transparent and defensive.

"The Trump administration's policy of ignoring the oversight requests of Democrats and rank-and-file members has earned it a powerful enemy: Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley.

In a letter to President Donald Trump, the veteran Iowa Republican senator urged Trump to reverse a policy instituted by the White House and the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel to answer oversight requests only from committee chairmen, all of whom are Republicans because of GOP control of Congress. Though Grassley said that the Obama administration did sometimes ignore him, he said the formalization of a policy of ignoring the minority party "doesn’t drain the swamp, Mr. President. It floods the swamp."

"Grassley calls the administration's opinion "nonsense" and argues that the president is being "ill-served and ill-advised" by his staff.

"To so fundamentally misunderstand and misstate such a simple fact exposes its shocking lack of professionalism and objectivity. Indeed, OLC appears to have utterly failed to live up to its own standards," Grassley added."
