Justice Department denies GOP request for nonpublic information on Biden docs probe
The Justice Department on Monday denied a request from House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan for sensitive information involving its probe into classified documents found at President Joe Biden’s home and a former office.
In a letter obtained by NBC News, a top Justice Department official said the department would cooperate as much as it could but would not disclose nonpublic information about the probe.
“The Department’s longstanding policy is to maintain the confidentiality of such information regarding open matters,” Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs Carlos Uriarte wrote to Jordan, R-Ohio.
“Disclosing non-public information about ongoing investigations could violate statutory requirements or court orders, reveal road maps of our investigations, and interfere with the Department’s ability to gather facts, interview witnesses, and bring criminal prosecutions where warranted. Maintaining confidentiality also safeguards the legal rights, personal safety, and privacy interests of individuals implicated by, or who assist in, our investigations,” he added.

What bull f*cking sh*t. If Trumps name was attached to this they’d have everything laid out sequentially on well lit tables and an LGBTQ guide with a pointer to make sure the highlights were noted.
