Anonymous FBI agents air shutdown grievances in association's report
One FBI special agent said the partial government shutdown has "eliminated any ability to operate." Another said the job has "never been so hard or thankless." A third said agents cannot "protect and serve the American people."
The anonymous testimonials came in a report Tuesday by the FBI Agents Association, which advocates for more than 14,000 active and former FBI special agents, detailing how the longest-ever government shutdown hinders the agency's operations.
"The shutdown has eliminated any ability to operate," said one unnamed special agent, who the report said is working on counter-intelligence matters against a top threat to the United States' national security. "It’s bad enough to work without pay, but we can only conduct administrative functions while doing it. The fear is our enemies know they can run freely."
Chilling.
This is a question that I've had in my mind. I would assume in addition to the FBI this could certainly be a factor in other government positions.
As a general comment most creditors are not interested in your personal problems, they want the money and this can certainly have an adverse effect on your credit rating.
You assume correctly. I know that the DHS has such a policy, which includes the CBP, TSA and Coast Guard.
BTW, I contacted a friend that is a TSA Agent in South Bend, IN. She told us that TSA policy doesn't allow them to take cash. She's lucky because she inherited her home and doesn't have a mortgage. We're on our way over there this afternoon groceries, laundry detergent and some food for her 2 dogs, one of which is the momma to our 90# pup. I'm going to 'borrow' her car while my wife visits and fill up her tank.
We can all help.
Kudos
We've been buds for over 15 years. She has helped us and we want to be there for her. We didn't get together last year so this will be a pleasure. Our pup loves to see her momma.
A labor union..... Who would've thunk that they would be against.....
Well since Trump gave the WH podium to the CBP Union, it's only fair that the FBI Agents Assoc. get a voice.
What FBI agents? There is only the "anonymous testimonials", and unnamed agents. There seem to be a lot of nameless, faceless, government workers these days that the media has easy access to. Of course no one could ever tell if the media were making up their sources or not this way. Which is the way the media wants it.
The report isn't by the media. Follow the links in the article to a petition signed by NAMED FBI employees.
Oh boy ..... more "anonymous" FBI sources.
Here we go again .....
You want names? From the link in the seed:
So the title is erroneous then.
You obviously haven't READ either document. Why comment then?
