Are the FBI Agents Who Arrested Roger Stone Working Without Paychecks?

How surreal is that? I hope at some future point the Democrats in Congress will pass a legislative fix. (Republicans would never care enough.) No one should ever be required to work without pay or forced to permanently forfeit their paychecks altogether, as so many of the contract workers have had to do. It is nothing short of criminal wage theft.

1. yes. in practice, i understand they always get back pay once the shutdown is resolved.

though it's never guaranteed and it's entirely possible this time may be different due to how long it's going on and, well, ... republicans.


can you imagine how horrible it would be if an fbi agent were to die in the line of duty while not drawing a paycheck?

3. Yes. They are.

FBI agents are protectin America and the rule of law without being paid. They will get back pay but that doesn’t pay the bills today. They have the same daily commitments and worries that we do.
