The White House is telling federal agencies to blow off Democratic lawmakers' oversight requests, as Republicans fear the information could be weaponized against President Donald Trump.
At meetings with top officials for various government departments this spring, Uttam Dhillon, a White House lawyer, told agencies not to cooperate with such requests from Democrats, according to Republican sources inside and outside the administration.
It appears to be a formalization of a practice that had already taken hold, as Democrats have complained that their oversight letters requesting information from agencies have gone unanswered since January, and the Trump administration has not yet explained the rationale.
The declaration amounts to a new level of partisanship in Washington, where the president and his administration already feels besieged by media reports and attacks from Democrats. The idea, Republicans said, is to choke off the Democratic congressional minorities from gaining new information that could be used to attack the president.

Here's how you know this article is load of crap:
In one part of the article, the supposed rationale is explained and then just few sentences later it's made clear that the TA hasn't offered up any rationale. So you have an unsupported assertion that's proven to be unsupported in the same article. This is what yellow journalism looks like. If I were to offer an opinion as to why the TA is allowing these requests, I'd say that it's most likely because far too many Dems. have been ABUSING their access to information for purely partisan political gain.
Almost anything that involves ignoring Democrats improves operations in D.C.
So you are fine with one political party having absolute control?
If the article is lying then why are oversight requests from democrats going unanswered?

Elections have concequences. The Democrats gotta ride in back.
Well since the cons and republicans didn't shut up and ride in the back, get prepared for the same obstruction republicans gave the Dems.

A new level of partisanship in America ? Oh I so disagree.
The IRS set the high bar for that back when they started targeting Americans based on Political affiliation. Obama said there wasnt a smidgeon of corruption by the way and then his DOJ refused to prosecute Lerner.
This of-course this was after Lerner admitted to it, but blamed it on " rogue front line agents "...Lol
But given the recent revealtions of the NSAs admitted wide spread illegal unmasking of Amercan citizens caught up in incidental searches, that bar looks like its going to be raised even more.
Because why else would the NSA need to illegally unmask citizens who werent even directly contacting foreign agents ? Could they not do their jobs without breaking the law ?
And as FISAa reports states, why would the NSA initially vastly under report to the court the number of Americans it illegally unmasked ?
A motive comes to mind
I know you have obama derangement syndrome but what did any of this have to do with trump and his continued corruption of trying to obstruct any investigation into his administration?
This is actually a good example of one reason the right got behind Trump to begin with. He does not play political hardball like the right, he plays it like the left.
Democrats are furious that they are up against an opponent who uses the same dirty tactics as they do.
The press is now complaining about all the things they defended during the obama years.

This is the equivalent of a spammer asking for a social security number. The Dems are up to no good.

They're too busy harping about Russia and hoping none of them go to jail.
It's your messiah trump who has more Russian connections to corruption than putin. Trumpbots are worse than hookers. At least hookers get paid unlike the trumpbot whores.
