Fey Wray: FBI chief grilled by Senate Judiciary Committee, plays it close to the vest (Page 1/1) rinselberg MAR 02, 01:51 PM A metaphorical vest, at best. "FBI Director Christopher Wray sheds little new light on domestic terror, Capitol riot intel failures" quote FBI Director Christopher Wray shed little new light Tuesday about whether his intelligence analysts missed warning signs before the riot at the U.S. Capitol — and how the bureau plans to confront the rising threat of domestic terrorism. "We need to get better at collecting, obviously," was as close as Wray came to commenting on the FBI's intelligence gathering on domestic terrorism. Wray, who took office in 2017, said he has boosted the FBI's focus on domestic violent extremism, and that the number of total domestic terrorism cases has risen from around 1,000 two years ago to 2,000 now. He did not address how that compares to the FBI's international terrorism caseload. Asked whether he wished the FBI had better visibility on the domestic extremist groups who planned an attack on the Capitol in advance, Wray said, "Any time there’s an attack, especially one as horrific as this one … you can be darn tootin’ that we are focused very very hard on how can we get better sources, better information, better analysis so that we can make sure something like what happened on Jan. 6 never happens again."

It was all over social media. Therefore there are two possibilities: 1) The FBI is utterly incompetent or 2) No one in their right mind could expect violence from a "Huge" gathering of conservatives. But wait! They are both right. The incompetent FBI knew a "Huge" group of conservatives was no danger to any law abiding citizens, and the incompetent FBI was oblivious to the fact that evil subversives had infiltrated the ranks of the conservatives.

More intensive and intrusive spying on the governed. They are quaking in their boots. I predict a few more love taps. They can't outsmart us because they are us.
