    This is actually a very good question. Anyone have the answer (which I suspect is, yes, it will affect them)? https://twitter.com/JohnBHume/status/936693513122586624 …

        In previous govt shutdown, I was deemed “essential” enough to work, even though my position was a lot less important than Mueller’s.

        Great question. From prior shutdowns, critical services will remain open/available throughout any shutdowns. Key investigations and counsels will proceed, since their funding is independent.

        In previous shutdowns, front-line law enforcement and DoJ lawyers with active cases have mostly been considered essential personnel and stayed on the job.

        Fwiw the overwhelming majority of the DoJ was unaffected by the 2013 shutdown.

        Yes, someone shared a tweet regarding this saying not likely to affect any ongoing investigations.

        Yeah, looks like civil litigation was stopped but criminal litigation continued. Not sure if they distinguish between litigation and investigation ....http://www.uscourts.gov/news/2013/10/07/shutdown-holdup-courts …

        Yes good question, and perhaps why Trump said a shutdown would be good for him!

        See the DOJ Contingency Plan for 2016: https://www.justice.gov/archives/doj/information-department-employees-case-government-shutdown-october-2015 …. I suspect SC is excepted both under Cat. 1 & Cat. 3.
