FBI Director Wray says agency doesn't treat Antifa as a domestic terrorism group, but that's not all he said…
[Right Scoop] After what we all saw last year in Portland and around the country, that kind of statement from Wray seems ridiculous and I wanted to hear it.

While Wray did suggest that the FBI doesn’t view Antifa as a domestic terrorism group, that’s not all he said and the context is relevant:

Graham asks Wray if the FBI views the Proud Boys, Oath keepers and Antifa as domestic terrorism groups, and Wray gives the same answer for all of them. Which is that they don’t treat the groups themselves as domestic terrorists, however there are individuals in each group that they do treat as domestic terrorists.

Wray also made the point that there is no domestic terrorism list like the foreign terrorism list, which I think informs his answer on whether he would call a specific group domestic terrorists.

Look, I’m not defending Wray here. I just want you to have all of the context of his answer on this issue because I think it’s a little unfair to just state it as the tweeter did above without including the rest. Wray’s answer was the same for all of them, meaning that the focus of the FBI is on individuals rather than groups when it comes to domestic terrorism. Whether you agree or disagree with that is a different story, but at least now you understand his fuller answer.

#1 Wouldn't want to target individual organizations and track the origins of the funding flows... now would we ?

Wray continues to fill the BLM and communist subversive sand bags. It's what he does. That's how he kept his job.

#7 Wray appeared the utter moron. And I mean moron. The only aspect more terrible than his presentation was his questioning by a passel of language-challenged octogenatians who should have retired years ago. Q: Which is the most inept? The Senate or the FBI? A: It is a toss-up.

#8 Wray has to be the worst choice in history for his office. He tops Sergeant Schultz from Hogan's Heroes for "I know nothing."

#10 Considering what they did to Trump anyway, he should have canned Wray's ass along with Comey, McCabe, Stzrok and all the rest.

#12 How many were members of Antifa and/or BLM? Funny how those two groups, which have been terrorising cities all year, were not even mentioned.

11 out of 250 were from Oathkeepers and Proud Boys. That's like 4%. Where were the rest from?
