FBI Director Christopher Wray delivered a full-throated defense of a powerful spy authority on Tuesday, invoking the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and warning lawmakers that a watered-down surveillance program could leave the agency paralyzed to respond to threats.
“What could anybody possibly say to victims’ families if there was another attack that we could have prevented if we hadn’t given away the ability to effectively use a tool,” Wray told lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“Because let’s not fool ourselves. That’s what’s at stake with the reauthorization,” he said.
Wray escalated his rhetoric as Congress this week considers legislation that would add privacy protections for American information collected under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which expires at the end of the year.

Would be cheaper just to remove muslims from America
IRS? /S
Yeah. All FBI trolls would be unemployed all of a sudden —
what a shame.
Couldn’t be any worse than, “We were monitoring them.”
Quote: “What could anybody possibly say to victims’ families if there was another attack that we could have prevented if we hadn’t given away the ability to effectively use a tool,” Wray told lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee.”
Let us violate your privacy in every conceivable way imaginable so that we can protect “our democracy” from white supremacists, you know, deplorables!!!
Meanwhile, on the Southern Border. But I am sure surveillance of average citizens is much more important than, you know, not allowing terrorists and criminals to walk over the border.
Like cancer, Muslims grow silently, out producing all others. When the tumor grows large enough, only then symptoms show up. But it is too late by then.
“If the access is so important then disband the FBI and give it to another agency that can be trusted.”
Under what Constitutional authority was the FBI invested as a national police directorate?
If you can’t find an answer then the FBI needs to be disbanded. Period.
9/11? Bullcrap… it’s firmly aimed at American political enemies and was used in the 2020 coup.
Those who are given power NEVER willingly give it up.
“If you don’t, we’ll have to do more false flag attacks.”
Sounds like Zelensky saying "give me money".
Mr. Wray, repeat after me: “This is why we can’t have nice things.”
Only one I know is the FDIC.
Did he warn them that the FBI would still do it without the authorization?
Those Catholics and school board parents must be monitored.
The Fey Wray and his fascist FIB need to keep tabs on his political opponents....
Perfect analogy - nice!
I hope they televise his military tribunal. 😏
well wray...
” i dont agree with your charachterization of the facts “
... youre fired and preserve your records.
spit.
Ya right. Because the FBI needs to spy on Congress, Republicans who support Trump, Catholics and other terrorist groups. And you know what? Republicans will probably cave.
