Problem is, If Congress did receive the documents requested and found impropriety, they would have to send a referral to prosecute to the DOJ and the DOJ will tell Congress to hump a stump. They are not going to investigate and prosecute themselves.... Congress is a paper tiger and have no prosecutorial powers of their own.
Exactly right. That's why Congressmen keep saying that a Special Counsel is needed. In addition, many of the alleged law-breakers are now civilians. Only a Special Counsel or other outside Prosecutor can investigate them.

IMO, "conspiracy" is being used too liberally these days...as is "constitutional crisis". Our Illinois Senator Dick Durbin says every chance he gets that "Trump is creating a constitutional crisis with his conspiracy theories!".

They need to just make up realistic, best guess stuff and accidentally leak it. Watch those who run for the border, those who lawyer up and wait for the real documents to mysteriously turn up to defend those charged. Good frame, bait and switch.

The United States CONGRESS created the Department of Justice in 1870. Therefore, Congress is above the D.O.J.. When Congress asks for something from the Department of Justice, or one of its agencies, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), the FBI should NOT be able to tell Congress, "NO!".

What would ATS think about a law which allows Capital Police recovery of any documents pertaining to Congressional inquiry of Federally-related departments?
I.e., why can't they go grab a gun and just walk in and take them?
More at: www.justice.gov...
By 1870, after the end of the Civil War, the increase in the amount of litigation involving the United States had required the very expensive retention of a large number of private attorneys to handle the workload. A concerned Congress passed the Act to Establish the Department of Justice (ch. 150, 16 Stat. 162), creating "an executive department of the government of the United States" with the Attorney General as its head.
Now wouldn't that be some kind of special, if Obama, Hitlary, Comy and the rest had a nice vacation in that resort??? lol
Remember when Obama promised to close Gitmo? Congress gave him a way to back out of that promise by saying they wouldn't supply the money.

Is issuing a SUBPOENA to get the documents, the same thing as bringing in the Judiciary branch to force their release?
