Christopher Wray set to tell Congress that never in his career have threats to public safety and national security been so significant
Times of Israel
The FBI is concerned about the possibility of an organized attack in the United States similar to the one that killed scores of people at a Russian concert hall last month, the bureau’s director is set to tell a House of Representatives panel on Thursday.
‘Looking back over my career in law enforcement, I’d be hard-pressed to think of a time where so many threats to our public safety and national security were so elevated all at once,’ Christopher Wray is planning to tell lawmakers during a budget hearing. ‘But that is the case as I sit here today.’
The March 22 attack on a concert hall in suburban Moscow killed at least 144 people, the deadliest in Russia in 20 years. A branch of the Islamic State terrorist group claimed responsibility, but Russian President Vladimir Putin, without citing evidence, has sought to blame Ukraine.
US officials have been worried about the possibility of an attack carried out by an individual or small group inspired by the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. But the FBI is growing concerned about a more coordinated attack following the concert massacre in Russia, Wray will say during testimony.
Of increasing concern ‘is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland, akin to the ISIS-K attack we saw at the Russia Concert Hall a couple weeks ago,’ he will say.
Wray also plans to press lawmakers to renew a US surveillance program set to expire this month, calling it an indispensable tool against US adversaries. A modest overhaul of that program was blocked in the House on Wednesday amid concerns from members of both parties that it did not go far enough in curbing the government’s surveillance powers.
‘It’s critical in securing our nation, and we’re in crunch time,’ Wray plans to tell lawmakers.
Love the accompanying ‘art-work’ it speaks volumes.
Any thinking American should be asking, why Wray is not in jail for aiding-and-abetting the non-disclosure of FBI criminals stirring the J6 artificial-insurrection psyops. Also, something which is a little off-topic, but related in a way – if the J6 Patriots who have been languishing in jail due to alleged incitement by Donald Trump; shouldn’t Donald Trump, as the alleged instigating-mastermind be imprisoned as well? I’m not advocating that Trump is an ‘alleged-mastermind’ of the fictitious ‘insurrection’ … but rather highlighting the stupidity of the FBI engineered circus to ensnare innocent victims for their never-ending kabuki-theatre.
The one good thing that came out of the J6 event, is that the right wing in the US now knows that the FBI infiltrates them as well.
