"FBI agents have lost irreplaceable sources. Joint Terrorism Task Force officers can’t get into the bureau’s computer systems. Federal investigations are being stymied by a lack of resources. The partial government shutdown, now in its 33rd day, has become a serious national-security threat, the FBI Agents Association said on Tuesday.
Over the past several weeks, the association has been compiling stories from agents about the the shutdown’s impact on the bureau’s operations. One agent, speaking anonymously, said his unit had 'lost several sources who have worked for months, and years, to penetrate groups and target subjects' due to the inability to pay confidential sources. 'These assets cannot be replaced,' the agent said. 'Serving my country has always been a privilege, but it has never been so hard or thankless.' Another agent reported: 'Not being able to pay Confidential Human Sources risks losing them and the information they provide FOREVER. It is not a switch that we can turn on and off.'"
