In reply to the discussion: DOJ rebuffs Democrats' request for inventory of Trump's boxes [View all]Grasswire2

I assume he was directly involved by tagging (verbally or via sorting) what went into the boxes. And yes, there were accomplices who followed his directions.
And pardon me for not trusting that DoJ will follow up either in a timely manner or at all. Evidence often seems to go there to die (or be shut away). We can't see the unredacted Mueller report. We can't even be told the information on JFK held all these years now. And then there's the secret server where memos and so on are held away from the American people.

I don't like this. Not a damned bit. The DOJ is owned by the 6 of the 6/3 USSC.

"Rebuffs"?? BS. DOJ's had a full plate since it was able to constitute itself a year and a month ago

Thanks for the correction. The same holds true for Oversight in terms of jurisdiction.

Maybe if we had some assurance that action was happening to hold TFG accountable for ANYTHING...

I still don't get the point. The Oversight Committee can't hold Trump accountable either

That's a clear sign that the boxes contain material that are well above the average Congressperson's
