27. People have a problem UNDERSTANDING what their purpose is

DOJ is the "LEGAL ARM" for ALMOST ALL OF THE REST OF THE AGENCIES (i.e., those that are "regulatory" ).

Those "regulatory" agencies are the FIRST RESPONDERS for any type of action needed to deal with oversight of the industries that the law deemed they are responsible for.

But they have NO INDEPENDENT AUTHORITY to go to court to do "enforcement" activities. INSTEAD, they DO have their own processes and procedures to handle their missions and 90% of the time, any regulatory issues are RESOLVED without DOJ.

However for certain cases, once those agencies have EXHAUSTED their internal processes/procedures without any resolution, only THEN will they refer the issue to DOJ to go to court to do things like obtain subpoenas, initiate warrants for searches and seizures, restraining orders, injunctions, arrests, criminal prosecutions, etc.

THIS Is what happened with NARA and the government documents including classified documents and 45. NARA spent ONE YEAR trying to work with 45 to get the materials back, which they do with EVERY transition. Once they realized they were being strung along, only THEN did they refer the issue to DOJ. But that "delay" is being blamed on DOJ.

DOJ does NOT regulate every industry in the federal government. They provide support for those agencies that DO regulate those industries.

Because it's obvious that people don't understand this, they blame DOJ instead of understanding the "administrative processes" that have been set up in the Executive Branch.

The sooner you learn this, the sooner it will clear up some of the nonsense that gets posted here.
