FBI director tells employees he's 'angry' over shutdown

FBI Director Christopher Wray tore into what he called a “mind-boggling” and “short-sighted” government shutdown in a video message to employees on Thursday, telling them he is angrier than he has ever been.

Wray released a video message nearly six minutes long in which he encouraged employees to not give up hope during the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

“It takes a lot to get me angry, but I’m about as angry as I’ve been in a long, long time,” Wray said.

The five-week-long shutdown has caused around 800,000 federal employees to miss two consecutive paychecks.

“I know tons of you are feeling the anxiety and the emotional strain of this shutdown,” Wray said. “And 100 percent of you are feeling the financial strain.”

The Department of Justice is one of several federal agencies impacted by the ongoing government shutdown, which entered its 35th day on Friday. FBI agents are deemed essential and are still working, but they are not being paid as a result of the lapse in appropriations.

But he's totally good with the 27-gun police state early-morning SWAT raid on Roger Stone meant to terrify him and his wife.

At least they didn't shoot the dogs.

>>>And 100 percent of you are feeling the financial strain<<<

Because Federal Employees are forbidden to have Savings Accounts, Credit Cards and Retirement Savings they could tap into if needed?

I did not know that.

Oh, yeah, dickhead? Well we-the-people are angry about a 66 year old man with no weapons and no possibility of violence being confronted by dozens of armed THUGS from your effing “department” at six in the morning yesterday.

So cry me a river, you useless deep state tool.

So, Chris 'ol buddy - any progress on Hillary's negligent exposure of state secrets? How about the high-level FBI conspiracy to overthrow the President?

Guess it's too much to ask to investigate the Democrats - and the few swine Republicans who opposed funding real border security - for treason.

But no, it's same old FBI who falls down hard on small criminals but somehow completely misses anything bad on the big criminals and traitors.

NPR interviewed a “single mother” fed employee this AM.

This poor soul actually had to cancel her child’s karate lessons in order to put food on the table.

Oh,the humanity!

He should be telling his employees to keep the burgers and fries hot, with not too much ketchup... after losing his job at the FBI he doesn’t want to lose this job.

That's the best we have?

Trump picked another winner with this guy.

As long as senior advisors Jared and Ivanka are anywhere near the White House, the damage will continue.

FBI generally make pretty good money. They shouldn't be living paycheck to paycheck. Of course, the agency is also ridiculously corrupt, but I digress.

Jared and Ivanka do not belong in the White House. I would take Don Jr before them.

Personally I think as bad as Comey was, he was miles better than this fop Wray. What a total loser.
