When are Trump's agencies going to wake up? These letters are designed to run the clock. The agencies need to reassess these childish Congressional letter writing slavos and have a fundamentally different approach. DNI should have (and in the future should) respond by filing a Declaratory Action in some Federal Court.  Challenge the very premise of Congressional Obstruction in an Executive Branch function. The Executive Branch is scared to go down that path -- HELLO, MR. BARR -- but until this separation of powers issue is resolved, our government will remain for decades in shambles.
