Republican Representative Jim Jordan is demanding FBI Director Christopher Wray appear before Congress to answer allegations the agency improperly spied on political figures and others.
Jordan, along with two other GOP representatives, sent a letter to Wray on Monday in response to a Washington Times' report that the agency violated its own safeguards on preventing undue spying.
Jordan, the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee and a close ally of former President Donald Trump, has previously accused the FBI of launching politically motivated investigations.
The letter references a March 11 report by The Washington Times based on an audit conducted by the agency in 2019. The newspaper said the audit showed the FBI "violated agency rules at least 747 times in 18 months while conducting investigations involving politicians, candidates, religious groups, news media and others."
FBI auditors looked at 353 sensitive investigative matters, less than half of all of its cases, the paper reports. Of those reviewed, 191 involved domestic public officials, dozens of religious organizations or prominent members in addition to dozens of political organizations or individuals. Ten cases involved U.S. political candidates and 11 news media.
"This internal audit and the staggering number of errors it found suggest a pattern of misconduct and mismanagement within the FBI in failing to uphold internal rules for its most sensitive cases," the letter read. "This internal review documented systemic FBI failures to follow its own rules and procedures."

And, give us the names of Trump supporters who’ve been spied on as well as the names of Reps who received hush $$ to hand out to cover up their inappropriate behavior, from the Congressional Slush fund, while we’re at it.
Rules are for the tax payers. The little people. The smellie people at Walmart.
I’ll bet all 10 were Republicans.
Why are these “rules” not laws?
File criminal charges in the state of your choosing. Ask the doj be disqualified from legally representing and included as co-conspirators
The FBI is beyond repair.
Tear it down, salt the earth and never hire any of them in other agencies.
.
They get no answers.
Like the time he said there’s no such thing as Antifa, or
that there was no political influence in the Investigation by Strzok, Page, McCabe, and Ohr?
I’ll have to get back to you on that, and I disagree with that characterization, and good people do their jobs every day.
He never answered why 43 phones were wiped by agents on the Mueller investigation, and no one really cared.
10 Republicans and Tulsi.
Somebody needs to tell that stupid Hannity hack, that the rank and file FBI are people like Comey, McCabe,Strzok, and Page.
Hannity has a head like a brick, so I don’t expect a “Road to Damascus” moment in his future.
And it would be nice to know exactly what Louis Learner and Obama’s weaponized IRS did to the Tea Party
I have often wondered what blackmail was used on Supreme Justice Roberts to get the “Obama Care is a tax” decision.
“And it would be nice to know exactly what Louis Learner and Obama’s weaponized IRS did to the Tea Party”
Mitch McConnell and John Boehner were fully invested in the take down of the Tea Party.
Remember Romney , running for POTUS in 2012 wanted nothing to do with the Tea Party, even though it had delivered the House majority to the GOP in 2010.
depends on what politicians
If there was law, you would shackle him, biden, hil, bill,Bill,, fauci and the Russia collusion bunch and try them for treason..
Stay will just claim ignorance, or, he can’t talk about it.

Not going to happen one of the safe guards of being a swamp member you never get told on.
