FBI Director Wray on shutdown: 'I'm about as angry as I've been in a long, long time'
FBI Director Christopher Wray addressed the government shutdown in a video message to FBI employees, saying he's "about as angry as I've been in a long, long time." "Making some people stay home when they don't want to, and making others show up without pay -- it's mind-boggling, it's short-sighted, and it's unfair," Wray said, noting the financial impact the shutdown has had on many government workers in its 35th day. Wray, who was confirmed as FBI director in 2017 after President Donald Trump fired James Comey, said the FBI has been "actively advocating" for its employees, just not in the press because of the highly polarized political climate. "You know better than most that we've been thrust into the political spotlight more than we would have liked over the past few years," Wray said. "And the last thing this organization needs now is its leadership to wade into the middle of a full-on political dispute."
He continued: "But let me also be very clear: We're actively advocating for you left and right, at every level. We're having conversations day and night with people who can have the most impact, to show them how much this is affecting all of you and your families, and how it could affect the work we need to do for the American people. We're just not doing it in the press." Wray adds that "even seemingly straightforward statements can be hijacked by one side or the other."

They are all there just for protecting and feeding Fedzilla.
What the hell, All folks in the private sector do not know if they have a check tomorrow, why should I care if they don’t get paid ever, talk about privelidege and total bs the government worker has no clue what the real world has to deal with, fire em all..who cares, they don’t
This is a clear indication that the government is too big, and too powerful.
Cutting it in half would be a good start.
So FOASTFU you swamp pig.
Save for a frickin’ rainy day.
Shutdowns are always a possibility, any government employee should know that, and plan accordingly.
Shut down the FBI. They are crooked and corrupted. They do harm to USA. I do NOT trust them at all. In fact I am beginning to HATE them. I never hate.
You really must be a idiot, Mr Wray, to have sent 27 FBI agents in 19 SUVs to the house of a senior citizen and his deaf wife at 6:00 AM today. And you really could have let him put on some shoes instead of making him walk barefoot on such a cold morning. Were the shackles on his hands and feet really necessary as he was brought before the judge, when he was ruled by that judge not to be a flight risk and was granted bail on his signature?
Is this still America? It looks more and more like a banana republic every day. The wrong people are going to prison.
“Making some people stay home when they don’t want to, and making others show up without pay — it’s mind-boggling, it’s short-sighted, and it’s unfair,”
They aren’t losing any pay it’s just delayed. Meanwhile they are on a paid vacation.
“I’m about as angry as I’ve been in a long, long time’
But this yellow Mueller ball washer has no problem detaching a platoon of his “agents” to raid a senior citizen on fake charges. As much as I support the Donald he sure has made some piss poor appointments.
Another corrupt scumbag.
I guess eventually these guy picked by Pres Trump will expose themselves as another GOP plant.
They just can’t help it.
Yet another Swamp Thing nominee of Trump’s.
Like Chuck Schumer said about deep state/FBI, "They got six ways from Sunday of getting back at you"
So it seems even Mr. Schumer himself is clearly afraid of these agencies.
And yours were removed at birth.
I hate that I taught my children to trust the FBI.
The FBI despises Americans and loves terrorists,
including those that protect the trafficking of
children when the Clintons are involved.
As is the AG nominee.
They get paid when the shutdown is over. When we get laid off we get unemployment. Almost lost my house while many others dod when Obama was
President. Congress did not help us.
I blame Efrem Zimbalist Jr.
