Speaking before the Senate Intelligence Committee alongside the heads of other US intelligence agencies, Wray said that to undermine the US's military, economic, cultural, and informational power across the globe, China was using methods relying on more than just its state institutions.

“He said there were a variety of ways China was implementing a plan to replace the US as the foremost global power, including by infiltrating academia.”

Yes, China is a THREAT...

But the FBI is a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER.

It's The Yellow Peril!

Yes, but the Muslim threat to our country is not even on their radar.

Yes, I wonder if Wray is trying to distract from that fact. ??

Or giving the MSM a new theme, so we can hear the headlines over the next few weeks about Wray said this about the Chinese, and Trump has failed to take any action to reduce the threat they pose......

Yes, look over there at that bright shiny object! Let's shift attention from the internal corruption of our highest level law enforcement agency, to dwell on a foreign power whose behavior is largely outside the purview of the FBI.

Nor the open southern border.

Sounds like an attempt to damp down the Rooskie Narrative.

Only after we've sold many of our industrial secrets to them, do our "intelligence services" inform us of this.

There are three super powers. We need to decide to make nice with Russia before Russia decides to team up with China against us.

Progressives don’t like the fact that Russia harkens back to pre-Soviet orthodox Christianity and traditional values.

Yep, more distraction and misdirection.

DRAIN THE SWAMP!

We all need to support the Article 5 Convention movement. The FedGov is irrevocably broken.
