Dope1: (No, I don't care how much you people hate Townhall. Learn to process relevant material. In this case what's relevant is what Wray is saying.)


Here's the problem with Townhall, sparky: it's lying.

The article writes that "Sen. Scott asked whether the FBI is able to track threats and prevent terrorist attacks within the United States."

That's not what Sen. Scott asked Director Wray (link to Wray's testimony below).

Scott asked: "So Director Wray, is the FBI able to track all threats and prevent these individuals from conducting attacks on U.S. soil."

BIG DIFFERENCE. Of course the FBI cannot track ALL threats.

Also, your Townhall article conveniently omits every word of testimony about domestic terrorism or homegrown threats which were featured in Wray's opening statement and in his testimony, because, well, its slanting the article to appeal to readers who are only interested in them dirty furriners who are out to kill us and not the domestic terrorists attacking Jews and Muslims at an alarming rate.

Here in the United States, our most immediate concern is that violent extremists -- individuals or small groups -- will draw inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks against Americans going about their daily lives. That includes not just homegrown violent extremists inspired by a foreign terrorist organization but also domestic violent extremists targeting Jewish or Muslim communities. We've seen that already with the individual we arrested last week in Houston, who'd been studying how to build bombs and posted online about his support for killing Jews. And with the tragic killing of a 6-year-old Muslim boy in Illinois in what we're investigating as a federal hate crime.

There isn't a single word about domestic, homegrown terrorism in your Townhall article, is there?
