Has to be acting jackass since nominated jackass is not yet confirmed!
Whittaker?
Somebody!
Or do DOJ lawyers have plenary power to do whatever the frick they want?
Goddamned press, nobody pins anybody down...since I have come to understand decades ago the alignment of presstitute ideology with liberal/progressive ideology...and later to DeepState agenda...since authority isn't being named it is the DeepState making this call.
This is all I can find -
However, Justice Department lawyers responded Wednesday with a request that the case — nominally about a search for records related to talking points about the 2012 Benghazi attack — be suspended until funding for the Justice Department and State Department is restored.
“To respond to Plaintiff’s interrogatories and document requests (including one that will require searches of State’s email records for 24 officials or former officials) will require not only members of the Department of Justice’s litigation team, all of whom are currently furloughed, but also State attorneys and employees from various bureaus and components who are likewise furloughed,” the Justice lawyers wrote. “The Government will require an even broader array of State employees—most of whom are currently furloughed—to prepare for the numerous depositions described in the Discovery Order.”
On Thursday, the situation grew murkier as the State Department announced it was calling most of its furloughed staff back to work next week. Officials said they’d located enough funds to cover at least one two-week pay period for those workers.
Justice Department attorneys notified Lamberth of the development just after 11 P.M. Thursday, about 12 hours after he entered his order putting off the discovery deadlines. They attached an email State Deputy Undersecretary for Management Bill Todd sent Thursday afternoon announcing the recall of staff.
Justice Department lawyers said they plan to bow out of the case for now, but that State Department employees will attempt to begin gathering records responsive to the discovery the judge authorized.
“During the time the Department of State has funds available to cover its direct-hire employees, State Department personnel will, to the extent possible without the advice and direction of Justice Department attorneys, take steps to make what progress they can in preparing responses to the discovery requests that Plaintiff has already served,” the Justice attorneys wrote.https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/18/hillary-clinton-emails-government-shutdown-1110674
