The majority of individuals and groups targeted in House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler’s sweeping request for documents as part of an expansive Trump probe have missed the Nadler-imposed deadline to respond, Fox News has learned, raising questions about whether the chairman is facing his own "resistance."
Though the powerful Democratic committee chairman touted the responses he’s gotten in a press release and cable news interview this week, GOP committee sources told Fox News that just eight of the 81 agencies, entities and individuals that were sent requests actually met the Monday deadline. The requests came as part of Nadler's probe into “alleged obstruction of justice, public corruption, and other abuses of power by President Trump” announced earlier this month.

Gordan, who provided 51 pages; the National Rifle Association, which submitted 1,466 pages; Russian lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin, who attended the infamous 2016 Trump Tower meeting and provided 467 pages; former Trump political adviser Sam Nunberg, who sent 23 pages; former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, who sent 2,688 pages; Trump inaugural committee chair Tom Barrack, who sent 3,349 pages; and the 58th Presidential Inaugural Committee, which provided 104 pages.

Sending out broad requests instead of subpoenas. Good for creating anti-Trump headlines but not much else.
Or, failing that, tell 'em to go screw themselves.
Bwah-hahahahahahahahahahahah! Take that, Dems -- how do YOU like it?
Well said! :^)
Too bad
"Pound sand, FATSO! Strong letter follows!"
Without control of the nukes, the deep state is powerless. Lol.
I seem to remember a certain Obama appointed AG still being in Contempt of Congress. I wonder how that’s going?
Damn! I was sure I had put that in my Outlook reminders.
10% of the people or organizations are stupid.
The best response would have been to make a copy of the request and return it with a hand-written “FU”.
The next best response would have been to ignore the request.
Almost as many pages as the Husseincare bill.
To Nadler and Cummings: go and reproduce asexually.
