Grenell worded his letter to Schiff quite nicely Mine would have been a flame thrower.

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.

I agree with you about enforcing separation of powers - except that it shouldn't be up to the judiciary.

I agree. We must get past this business as usual mentality and break the glass. These issues of separation of powers need to be resolved to stop this charade that allows the branches to essentially avoid getting anything done and being able to point the finger at the other guy as an excuse. This has allowed our government to remain in gridlock for decades while those responsible fleece the public.

FTA: "Acting-Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell has dinged Rep. Adam Schiff in a new letter, expressing surprise the Trump foe didn’t praise the appointment of two women to head counter-terrorism unit and rejecting the congressman’s belief that lawmakers control the DNI’s day-to-day management decisions.
Mr. Schiff, California Democrat and chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, had written to Mr. Grenell on April 7 questioning his legal authority to reorganize the Office of National Intelligence and its National Counter Terrorism Center.
In an April 20 reply obtained by The Washington Times, Mr. Grenell called Mr. Schiff’s ideas “suggestions.”
