Democrats AND Republicans dug into FBI Director Wray in a House Judiciary Committee hearing…
He was hammered about Domestic Terror ….
The hearing made clear that Democrats and Republicans could hardly be further apart on what the FBI should and shouldn’t be doing. But on this much, they seemed to agree: The nation’s premier federal law enforcement institution had significant problems that needed to be addressed.
For his part, Wray sought to highlight how the bureau seeks to root out violence — no matter what motivates it — and is careful not to tread on Americans’ First Amendment rights.
In his opening statement, the FBI director highlighted the “extremist violence” of Jan. 6 in which more than 100 officers were injured in just a few hours and said that law enforcement had made more than 500 arrests….
…
Nadler and other Democrats pressed Wray on the intelligence the bureau had gathered in advance of Jan. 6 and the actions it took that day as rioters stormed the Capitol. Nadler noted that a report from the bureau’s Norfolk field office from the day before seemed to predict what was going to happen, and it was forwarded to the field office in Washington. He questioned why — in the days after the riot — the head of that office insisted the bureau had no intelligence that anything would happen beyond activity protected by the First Amendment.

Hmmm?
Frank Figliuzzi, who served as assistant director for FBI Counterintelligence under Obama, said Tuesday that members of Congress as well as certain Trump administration officials might need to be arrested in order to prevent a repeat of the January 6 Capitol riot.
“Arresting low-level operatives is merely a speed bump, not a roadblock. In order to really tackle terrorism — and this time domestically — you’ve got to attack and dismantle the command-and-control element of a terrorist group. And unfortunately, and I know this is painful to hear, that may mean people sitting in Congress right now, people in and around the former president. That’s how you do this. Otherwise recruitment, inciting, and cult-like leadership continues to recruit people to violence.”…

But I thought this is all in the “rear window?”
Republicans and you James want to forget this happened and we all know those rioters were just leftist Democrats dressed up in MAGA gear, Louie told us so.
Our government institutions almost failed us but hey “democracy isn’t being threatened.” Now here, let me show you a ballot made of bamboo.
Keith?
We All should not forget the noise about domestic spying a few years ago….
Well?
Now the FBI Director is getting beat up for NOT doing Domestic spying?
(In 6 months people will be crying about the FBI DOING Domestic spying)
Democracy is fine after ALL of the states certified their true election results….
That INCLUDES the ‘Red’ States….
You and Jack keep yelling about something that simply has NOT happened ….
Every fucking court has turned thumbs DOWN on Trump & Co’s ridiculous bull shit….
The ‘audits’ look wen more stupid….
Forget what happened????
Let me see….
NOT splashed across the media is the FACT that OVER 400 people have be charged with crimes for actions on Jan.6 at the Capitol…
Recent efforts to terrorise their own party voting officials may work to get even more pot these renegades locked up….
You gut run around here like your hair is on fire….
America IS over 300 years old…
It’s ALWAYS had shit like this happen …
Read your history….
The media rides will embolden those who have to fight against Donald Trump silliness to push back harder….
That includes those IN his party….
The FBI , Justice Dept, AG’s and DA’s around the country ARE on Donald Trump’s case ….
It is just a matter of time before the Big Guy’s lies and deceits become due….
What “hasn’t happened?”
The Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol?
That’s what I am talking about.
So explain your lie that I am talking about “something that has not happened.”
Jack?
400 Plus arrets…….
Sweeps still in effect….
Capitol up and running….
Yea it DID happen….
That thing has people running Jack….
Others maybe stupid enough to not get the message….
They WILL…..
And Yes….
There will ALWAYS be ‘friction’….
But some of us got ‘FAITH’ and History Jack….
The FBI has over 400+ ‘perps’ and counting….
What you have written makes absolutely no sense and makes me, once again, question your basic reasoning skills.
Jack has said it much better than I could ever. You completely conflate issues, confuse facts, and obfuscate your ass off.
Now it’s look over there!! You said January 6th was no big deal and will fade away. The people who tried to overthrow our government are still there, the damage they are doing to our Democratic institutions is ongoing. It matters!
Your problem: you don’t understand any of what they are doing so you deny it even exists.
Guys?
Keep ur point of view….
I’m going to the facts and reality….
Facts? Reality?
You think the insurrection is in the “rear window.”
You think our democracy isn’t under threat.
You have a serious perception problem not to mention the lack of a basic understanding of government.
You’re down to four posters here James.
How low can you go?
The question for all Rep in Congress and in the Trump Administration?
What did they know and when did they know it?
What we do know is that on Jan.6 2021,a group of Republican rioters attacked the government of the United States.What we do know is that the vast majority of Republicans in Congress opposed a Congressional investigation of the attack.
Yes,let’s keep digging into this act of Republican domestic terrorism.
The House will probably do something….
But it will attacked as partisan and THAT just is the way it will have to be….
GOPer’s are covering for their own….
