FIRST ON FOX — Top Republicans on Capitol Hill are vowing a crackdown on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for allegedly destroying documents related to a congressional probe.

"By deleting documents, the FTC likely violated federal law. It also impeded Congressional oversight of the FTC’s recent, unprecedented actions, including its proposed rule banning non-compete clauses," Sen. Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican and ranking member on the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, wrote in a letter to FTC Chair Lina Khan, which was dated for Thursday and shown to Fox News Digital ahead of its release.

"Congress and the public deserve an explanation of why the FTC improperly destroyed records, what records it improperly destroyed, and what steps will be taken to ensure it never happens again," Cruz wrote, joined by Rep. Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Rep. James Comer, a Kentucky Republican and the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.

The letter by Republican legislators comes about a year and a half after the FTC's in-house watchdog, the Office of Inspector General (OIG), found multiple failure's in the FTC's record-keeping process.

There are clear and specific rules and regulations regarding the creation, retention, archiving, and disposal of official Government documents.

Destruction of documents contary to the rules, regulations, and policies is an administrative offense, if not a criminal offense.

Destroying public documents is a steadfast right and privileged of democrats, that does not apply to any Republican.   
Some of you nubies need to brush up on this stuff.  The stooges already know all that!
 
Some abandoned people left over in Afghanistan already figured out that much.

When LIEden's InJustice Department prosecutes high-level FTC bureaucrats for this I'll consider taking this seriously. LIEden's InJustice Department protects bureaucrats and pols doing LIEden's bidding.
