FBI director says terror threats elevated to all-time high since Oct. 7: 'Blinking lights everywhere'
2023-12-06
[FoxNews] FBI Director Christopher Wray testified Tuesday that the terror threat facing the United States has reached unprecedented levels since the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., asked Wray to describe the current "threat matrix" facing the United States at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

"What I would say that is unique about the environment that we're in right now in my career is that while there may have been times over the years where individual threats could have been higher here or there than where they may be right now, I've never seen a time where all the threats or so many of the threats are all elevated, all at exactly the same time," the FBI director replied.

"So, blinking red lights analogy about 9/11 — all the lights were blinking red before 9/11, apparently," Graham continued. "Obviously, all of us missed it. Would you say there's multiple blinking red lights out there?" he asked.

"I see blinking red lights everywhere," Wray answered.

He later told Graham that since the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, when Hamas terrorists brutally murdered at least 1,200 Israelis, a "veritable rogue's gallery of foreign terrorists" has called for attacks against the U.S.

"The threat level has gone to a whole nother level since Oct. 7," Wray emphasized.

That's the career dissipation warning.

#9  Somehow I doubt the terror threats are higher than they were on, say, Sept. 10, 2001.

Of course, I guess we didn't have parents at school board meetings and conservative Catholics to worry about back then.

#6  ^ They don't like being embarrassed:
NBC reported that an FBI SWAT team arrested (Devonta) Lynch at his home, with FBI-issued ammunition being found by detectives inside a closet at the property.

Lynch had been suspended from high school on the Wednesday of the incident, and the day before.

#2  You might want to round up some of the real threats you have 'on the radar', if only to signal you actually are capable of something rather than wasting resources on imagined threats.

#1  The onerous Wray getting his name in the news. Never too early to begin the 'job after' effort.
