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.”

Will Democrats Finally Pay Attention to the National Debt?

BY Sarah Anderson

Debatably the most important power delegated to Congress is its power of the purse. However, it never uses this power correctly. This week, the United States’ national debt surpassed the $22 trillion mark. Also this week, Congress passed a multi-hundred-billion dollar spending bill in order to cover for its inability to do its job properly. Congress was behind schedule by nearly half of an entire year on funding the government for this fiscal year.

BY Adam Brandon

On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and representative and ask them to vote NO on the Consolidated Appropriations Act, Conference Report to H.J.Res. 31. The text of the 1,169-page bill, which contains funding for the remaining seven appropriations bills that Congress has thus far failed to pass for Fiscal Year 2018, was released overnight. It spends profligately as Congress recklessly attempts to cover for itself being nearly six months late on doing its job.
