House Dems to Consider Legal Options

Last week, the House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed a number of Justice Department documents — but particularly those that identified other U.S. attorneys who had been on the administration’s list to be purged but weren’t.

The Justice Department had signaled that it would not comply, and now it seems like that’s indeed what will happen. The deadline to turn over the documents was 2 PM today, and it was radio silence from the DoJ.

So chairman John Conyers (D-MI) is considering his options:

While we understand that the Department considers this effort a priority and we plan to continue working with them, we will review all available legal options to secure compliance with the subpoena.
