These days it seems that leftists just don’t give a tinker’s damn about truth or facts. About anything. Case in point: Former FBI Director James Comey, who took to Twitter with a completely false claim about payroll during the temporary government shutdown. Comey was brutally fact-checked on Twitter after posting the lie that families of FBI agents would spend Christmas without a paycheck.
“FBI families will spend Christmas without a paycheck. This president promised Mexico would pay for the wall but innocent people are now paying the price for another lie. Our thoughts are with hardworking public servants and their families,” he said.

But, Twitchy said, he was quickly fact-checked.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
“Per OMB guidance, checks for Pay Period 26 (December 9-22) will be processed as usual. Which means federal employees will get their normal direct deposit between December 28 and January 3,” one person said in response. “It’s the paychecks *after* that, starting with Pay Period 1, that are stopped.”

And there’s more:
This, of course, makes perfect sense if you think about it for just two seconds. The money for December 9-21 salaries was appropriated and obligated. So those payments can be sent as part of normal shutdown operations.
It's the pay period after that where there is no money.

It's like Democrats have suddenly forgotten how payroll works. You get paid for that LAST pay period's work, folks.

And you don't have to take my word for it, you can go look at OMB's shutdown guidance for yourself. https://t.co/cM5lhgD2Vs

Here is that document, by the way:
And, he added:
Per that guidance, the critical date when it comes to federal employee paychecks will be January 11. That's when the payments for Pay Period 1 (Dec. 23-Jan. 5) would ordinarily have been delivered by direct deposit.
