"It's just hard to understand how an organization can operate and violate its own policies and do things that create so much bad publicity toward the agency and not impose any discipline."

"Your September 2016 audit highlighted widespread issues with the DEA's tracking and oversight of payments, lack of receipts, a lack of information, justifying payments to sources."

"We are trying to get the DEA in a position where they're functioning with proper oversight where there's accountability and transparency in the agency."

"I hope you can understand the frustration that some of us and maybe most of us on the committee feel and particularly in dealing with the DEA."
