House Democrats Launch Probe into Elon Musk's 'Conflict of Interest'

7. "They've written a couple sternly-worded letters asking for responses/information."

I know the "sternly-worded letter" thing has become a joke on DU but after 30+ fucking years in a federal agency, I will tell you that whenever ANY member of Congress sent a "sternly-worded letter" asking for information, the agency was turned upside down with managers from the top down telling employees to "comply" by providing anything we had, and pass it to the supervisors up the line (often printed out/photocopied stuff). When we finally got computers and email, it came through "All Employees" emails. Someone would then compile it and usually shipped boxes of stuff down to D.C.

This happened during the 6 Presidents I worked under and it was regardless of who was "in the majority" in Congress.

We might have a rogue government in at this point but this cavalier dismissal of Congressional requests on DU just shows abject ignorance.
