The comment came during questioning by U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) of FBI Director James Comey during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about the 2009 attack on Fort Hood by Army Major Nidal Hasan. In the video below, provided by Sen. Cornyn's YouTube account, Cornyn asks Director Comey, "Do you agree with the intelligence community's assessment that Hasan was inspired by al-Qaeda to conduct that attack?" Comey responded, "Yes, sir. Based on everything I've read, again, I wasn't in office at the time, but I've read about it since, and I do."
I am increasingly impressed with this man James Comey. |
