The DOJ just politely said "get lost". It will be up to the courts to decide if they have that authority.
This isn't a lie so much as it's a delaying tactic; by the time it's resolved we will be through the next election. Either it won't matter by then, or there will be nothing you can do about.
The DOJ, under Ashcroft, considers itself immune to both Congress and the Supreme Court -- practically a fourth branch of government, but with no checks/balances. Unless Congress and/or the Supreme Court step in, this may in practice become true.
