Kennedy said these bills are designed so that Congress experiences the same financial hardship as federal employees, air traffic controllers, and military personnel who go unpaid during shutdowns, according to Fox News. He emphasized that withholding congressional salaries is not a bargaining tactic, but a matter of fairness.
“I don’t see missing paychecks or empty dinner plates as leverage or bargaining chips,” Kennedy said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “My bills ensure Congress feels the same pain as the folks we’re failing to pay — our troops, air traffic controllers, and federal workers. If we can’t do our jobs and fund the government, we don’t deserve a paycheck — plain and simple.”
Unfortunately, it's not necessarily illegal for a government appointee to weaponize their position to target political opponents. What is illegal, though, is lying to Congress, and that's where the DOJ will look to hang its hat. Specifically, Brennan is accused of falsely stating during a 2023 hearing that the Steele Dossier was not used as part of the 2017 intelligence assessment he and Comey allegedly weaponized. He also told congressional members that the CIA opposed its inclusion.
