everything Gaetz did and it clearly says DOJ refused to cooperate. So it is wrong to conclude that there isn't more out there that DOJ knows about but didn't pursue. A huge question, for which they will never be forced to answer, is why they refused requests for cooperation and information from the Committee. It is not a matter of "Oh we thought we needed to protect our evidence for if we brought charges". Because if it was that then when they made the decision not to charge anything there was no longer any reason to continue to withhold that material from the Committee. Suffice it to say the DOJ files look different than the Committee files when in fact they should be the same. What is DOJ continuing to hide? Are they keeping their own questionable conduct in Florida over the years hidden from view?

Disclosures and conduct over the last many, many years clearly show improper actions within DOJ and the FBI. To think that all disappeared beginning in 2021 and isn''t still there is folly.
