Starting his conversation Jordan said:
Thank you madam chair,
Jim Jordan: Mr, Brown, why haven't you responded to our November first letter?
DOJ: Congressman, I'm not sure what letter you're referring to?
Jim Jordan: The letter was signed by 19 republicans on the house judiciary committee regarding the school board issue why haven't you responded to that?
DOJ: I believe the congressman of the department provided a response. But you know as I said earlier we did follow the 80s memorandum to convene the department.
Jim Jordan: 700 steward street suite 5220 Seattle Washington 98101 is that your address? I'm just wondering do you make a habit of not responding to members of congress and not just any members of congress. These are 19 republicans from the house judiciary committee do you make a habit of not responding to people who inquire about a pretty darn important subject the school board memo issue?
DOJ: We try to be responsive to all of our community members and anyone who has questions about the decisions and operations that we well that sort of begs.
Jim Jordan: The question then back to Why haven't you responded then? If you try to make an effort to respond why hasn't someone told you not to respond?
DOJ: No someone did not tell me not to respond I understood that the department was going to provide a response and I'm happy to have further confidence...
