The headline of a Washington Post story says it all: "New FBI Director James B. Comey Stunned by Impact ofSequestration on Agents in the Field."
The article by Post reporter Sari Horowitz details the
situation Comey has discovered since starting his tenure at the FBI - "New
intelligence investigations were not being opened. Criminal cases were being
closed. Informants couldn't be paid. And there was not enough funding for
agents to put gas in their cars."
The article features the report put together by FBIAA and
released today.
In "Voices from the Field," the article says,
"agents from across the country warn that budget cuts and possible
furloughs are hurting public safety and threaten their ability to protect
Americans."
