in part:
The far-right Judiciary Committee chairman told the attorney general that he and his panel want “an unredacted copy of the memorandum outlining the scope of Mr. Smith’s probes regarding President Trump and any supporting documentation related to his appointment as special counsel.” Jordan gave Garland a June 20 due date.
Evidently, the Justice Department was able to get back to the congressman a little early.
To be sure, Main Justice was willing to give Jordan some information. As Politico’s report noted, Friday’s response explained that “approximately 26 Special Agents ... worked either full or part-time on Special Counsel Smith’s investigations in some capacity during that timeframe.” It’s never been altogether clear why Jordan wanted this information — it appears to have something to do with Jordan’s conspiracy theories about the FBI — but regardless of the motivation, it’s a detail he now knows.
What’s more, the Justice Department provided Jordan with the former orders appointing the ongoing special counsel investigations, outlining the scope of the probes.
But the Trump loyalist sought far more than this — and at least for now, he’s not getting it.
