Wray testifies

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before Congress today about the January 6 Capitol riot. Wray, a Republican appointed by Trump adter he fired James Comey, said ...

1) The attack on the Capitol was domestic terrorism.

2) There was no evidence that antifa or people disguised as Trump supporters took part in the riot.

3) The perpetrators of the attack were right-wing militia members and white supremacy group members.

4) The most numerous and violently lethal domestic terrorism threats now in the US are from white supremacy groups.

5) There was no widespread voter fraud in the last presidential election.

What Wray testified to shows that the excuses that Trump and the Republicans in Congress are pushing ... that anifa or left-wing agitators were responsible for the riot, and that white supremacy group members are "very fine people" .... are self-serving lies.

The FBI is hindered in its fight against these groups by the fact that while domestic terrorism is defined in the law, there are no laws *against* it on the books (How the Federal Government Investigates and Prosecutes Domestic Terrorism).

The question is whether a Congress, some of whom (Republicans) count their base of voters from these violent groups, will stand up and change the law. I wouldn't hold my breath.
