The FBI Agents Association sent a petition Thursday to the White House and congressional leaders encouraging them to fund the FBI immediately.

The association’s president, Tom O’Connor, told reporters in a conference call that Friday will be the first day that FBI personnel will not receive a paycheck.

He said the problems caused by the shutdown could make it harder to recruit and retain agents, cause delays at the FBI lab and in getting or renewing security clearances.

O’Connor said the FBI’s petition is not about politics, but that financial security for agents is important for national security.

1. Less safe. Getting worse.

Damage accrues.

7. End this hell!

The whole reason and continued spewing of BS is to keep the American people safe. So close the federal agencies that monitor terrorist activity, right? WTFU you knuckling dragging mouth breathers. He DON'T care about you.

8. The illiget reminds me of hitler...the American People

(SOME...Cough...the GOP) are reminding me of the German People, who after the war, acted like they didn't know what was going on, but, we/they knew they did. It was inconvenient and scary for them to try absolutely everything to stop them. Mueller is an American person....stop him Mr Mueller.
What kind of worries me is that, he can't/won't even do a small thing so America can take a deep breath, and we can stop the hemorrhaging. It just doesn't portend well. Please prove me wrong MR M. It's not YOU...it's the waiting...that's the hardest part. (see Tom Petty on the topic.)

2. Putin's Puppet: Mission accomplished

Putin is getting a pretty good return on his investment with Trump.

3. Plus they got Manafort to pay back his loans....kinda. That's a real good deal...for them.

America need to put the big boy pants on and face the music. (Couldn't say "buckle up' again......talk about over-used.)

4. Said Press Secretary- Captain Obvious

5. One house in Congress already passed a bill which funds the FBI...

anyone want to guess which party controls the house which is behaving responsibly and which one controls the house which is not?

6. Sounds like win-win for someone

No agents = no collusion!

9. Exactly

It’s a feature, not a bug.

10. That's Donnie Smallhands's idea. Manacle and shackle them.

Too bad they've already gotten to the bottom of a whole raft of illegal activities in the tRump Crime Family.
