This is the same agency.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you put all this together,\u201d Jordan added. \u201cThis is why we are concerned and we want to see that audit in its unredacted form.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/gov-kristi-noem-signs-bill-ending-crt-training-mandates\">GOV. KRISTI NOEM SIGNS BILL ENDING CRT TRAINING MANDATES<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>The FBI has reportedly said it conducted the 2019 audit because it &#8220;takes compliance very seriously, especially when it comes to sensitive investigative matters.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While the number of deviations from FBI approval, notification, and administrative requirements noted in the report is unacceptable, we began implementing important changes in training and raising awareness even prior to issuance of the report, and we remain committed to ensuring all personnel adhere to our internal investigative and operational guidelines,&#8221; the FBI <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/jim-jordan-fbi-director-christopher-wray-explain-audit-sensitive-information-politicians-1690307\">told<\/a> <i>Newsweek<\/i>. <\/p>\n<p>Pirro suggested the FBI has applied differing standards to various investigations, comparing the Hillary Clinton emails investigation to that of spying on Donald Trump. The host asked Jordan what can be done to right what seems to be a breakdown in ethics. <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>Jordan said voters must choose a Republican in the <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\">2024 presidential election<\/a> so Biden-appointed Attorney General Merrick Garland can be replaced, allowing individuals to be held accountable and avoid audits being dismissed. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we can do is put Republicans back in charge and we will be able to subpoena people, if we have to, and get the truth to the American people,\u201d Jordan said. \u201cIf we get President Trump back in the White House, which is what I hope happens, and we get the right attorney general then, maybe then we can hold people accountable. That\u2019s how our system works, it\u2019s all about what the American people do on Election Day. Let\u2019s hope that come this fall they\u2019re going to start this process and put Republicans back in charge of the Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
