EXCLUSIVE: Audit reveals FBI rule-breaking in probes involving politicians, religious groups, media
The Washington Times ^ | March 11, 2022 | Ryan Lovelace

Posted on 03/12/2022 8:53:19 AM PST by george76

FBI agents violated their own rules at least 747 times in 18 months while conducting investigations involving politicians, candidates, religious groups, the news media and others, according to a 2019 FBI audit obtained by The Washington Times.

The internal review revealed a ratio of slightly more than two “compliance errors” per each sensitive investigative matter (SIM) reviewed by FBI auditors. These errors involved things like agents failing to get approval from senior FBI officials to start an investigation, agents failing to document a necessary legal review occurring before they opened an investigation and agents failing to tell prosecutors what they were doing, among other things.

...

The FBI audit’s recommendations to correct the compliance errors are redacted in the audit.

The FBI said it does not comment on matters involving pending litigation and refused to answer questions from The Washington Times.

...

Other lawmakers have tried with little success to get information about the FBI‘s domestic operations. In December 2021, the FBI told Sen. Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican, that it did not need to explain its 2016 probe of the conservative group Concerned Women for America and declined to answer questions about the bureau’s reasoning.

...

In and around the timespan of the audit, the Justice Department and FBI repeatedly came under scrutiny for questionable investigations involving lawmakers and news reporters.

It’s an emergency. We don’t have time for rule of law during an emergency. We have to protect the deep state.

Sorry but Trump never managed to get control of the Department of Justice or key Federal agencies such as the NSA,FBI or CIA. He never made effective, loyal senior appointments. That failure undermined his Presidency even more than the MSM and the vile Democrats.

Does Rule Breaking = Law Breaking?

Much like Lack of Candor = Lying?

Nothing will be done. Trump should have torn it down and rebuilt it with new people that weren’t compromised. They would be shocked at what’s sitting on there desks. Laptops and fraud evidence buried under paperwork.

I was told he was being smart to keep his enemies closer. 48D chess and all that.
