Deep state stalls Congress, hoping for midterm Democrat takeoverThe Federalist, May 9, 2018, Tom Borelli

The entrenched bureaucracy knows Democrat control of Congress will stop the hemorrhaging of damaging and embarrassing information regarding the outrageous behavior of its deep state operatives. Dreams of Representative Adam Schiff, D-Calif., running the House Intelligence Committee give the deep state hope.
To buy time, the DOJ is fighting Republican Congressional leaders, resisting document production regarding its Russia investigation and cloaking its devious activities by redacting huge segments of documents under the guise of national security.
In the latest round of the struggle, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., is issuing a threat to hold Attorney General Jeff Sessions in contempt of Congress over his department’s failure to deliver documents on a timely basis. Nunes is not alone. Senator Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, is also concerned over the pace and responsiveness to questions and document production of the DOJ.
There is an unmistakable pattern in the way the DOJ and the FBI are seeking to run out the clock. The law enforcement bureaucracy is slow-walking document production requests and is also abusing its authority to classify information in order to hide the contents from Congress and the public.
