FreedomWorks Statement on Firing of Peter Strzok

08/13/2018

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In the wake of the FBI’s decision this morning to fire former Agent Peter Strzok, who was at one time a key member of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team, FreedomWorks Vice-President of Advocacy Noah Wall commented:

“Strzok’s text conversations while a member of Mueller’s team made clear his bias against the Trump administration. It was a waste of taxpayer dollars for him to continue to collect a federal paycheck even after his removal from the Mueller team.

“Peter Strzok’s firing is a step in the right direction towards draining the swamp and reforming the FBI.”
