I can't think of an attorney general ever showing this much open contempt for Congress before.
Not only would most of them think this kind of conduct was beneath them, they'd have known that the Judiciary Committee chair, whatever the party, would never stand for clownish antics like this.

We told you this was coming months ago. The Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) says it has initiated a broad investigation of Netflix's business practices and it's planned $82.7 billion merger with Warner Brothers. The Trump DOJ's pretense is that they're just suddenly really concerned about media consolidation and monopoly power (you're to ignore the U.S. right wing's generational and indisputable quest to coddle and protect monopoly power across telecom, energy, air travel, banking, and countless other industries):

Congress and judges will not save you. The GOP has rolled over every time, despite the unpopularity of Trump and most of his key policies. The Supreme Court has already demonstrated enough loyalty to Trump to give him unprecedented powers. This process accelerates unless stopped.
