The RNC pounced on the Democratic Party communications director for knocking the FOIA request, suggesting to Woodhouse how he could help add some bipartisanship to the situation:
.@woodhouseb Sounds like you want to join our IRS request? Ok, we can make it bipartisan! Looking forward to the DNC’s letter to #IRS.

The RNC communications director said the Republicans didn’t have options like those employed by certain others in government:
@woodhouseb we had to FOIA, its not like we can just get all the phones records

Twitter conservatives joined in:
I like how @woodhouseb pretends like a FOIA request is some partisan or bad thing. FOIA is a tool to get info we are entitled to.

I don't understand why anyone mad that FOIA is being used on IRS? Any one of us can use it. SMH. #WeaponizedDumbassery #GuiltyAsAMofo

Hi Brad, can you explain how using Federal law to obtain information is political? You know what FOIA stands for, right? @woodhouseb @GOP

.@woodhouseb A FOIA request is partisan the same way journalism is espionage.

@woodhouseb @CindyCoops @GOP Not overreach you dolt. They are doing their jobs because your guy has screwed up the country so badly.
