Virginia Congressman Frank Wolf holds the DOJ pursestrings for two more years. Wolf is intimately familiar with the rot at Holder’s DOJ. From the presser: WOLF TO SERVE AS COMMERCE-JUSTICE-SCIENCE CHAIRMAN AGAIN IN 113TH CONGRESS Wolf released the following statement: “I am honored to serve as chairman of the Commerce-Justice-Science (CJS) subcommittee again this Congress, and I look forward to continuing our efforts to responsibly fund the Departments of Commerce and Justice, the National Science Foundation, NASA and other related agencies. “As chairman, I am fully committed to providing strong oversight of these agencies to ensure they are fulfilling their mission and spending tax dollars frugally and appropriately. Since my chairmanship began, the subcommittee has cut more than $11 billion in wasteful spending in the FY 2011 and FY 2012 appropriations bills, and my House-passed FY 2013 bill cut an additional $1.6 billion – the lowest spending levels since 2008. “Now more than ever, I am focused on promoting American competitiveness in space exploration and research and development, continuing to invest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programs in schools, safeguarding public safety against foreign and domestic threats, preventing terrorism in the United States and advancing economic growth and job opportunities for the American people.”
