FBI Director Christopher Wray on Tuesday testified to a Senate committee that his agency’s domestic terrorism caseload had “exploded” since early 2020, in particular cases involving racially or ethnically motivated crimes.

“Since the spring of 2020, so for the past 16, 18 months or so, we have more than doubled our domestic terrorism case load from about 1,000 to around 2,700 investigations, and we have surged personnel to match, more than doubling the amount of people working that threat than the year before,” Wray testified during a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on threats to the homeland.

“Certainly, the domestic terrorism caseload has exploded, and meanwhile the international terrorism caseload hasn’t subsided,” Wray said later during questioning from senators.

Wray noted that the “biggest chunk” of racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism the FBI tracks is now “favoring white supremacy.”

“We collect information about that threat, we have as you say prioritized that threat at a national threat priority level,” Wray said.

Well if the FBI investigates domestic terrorism like they do everything else, we’re screwed.

When the Big Guy tells you to find some domestic terrorism, you work around the clock to generate some domestic terrorism.

Just because they changed the definitions and parameters of what ‘domestic terrorists’ are doesn’t mean there are more of them, like the article is indicating

It all depends on who does the defining.

Kinda like counting Covid cases, depends on who does the counting.

Agent provocateur's have been very busy this year manufacturing "crimes." And sending 13 agents to investigate a NASCAR door pull is surely taxing to their staff. And then they brought out a dozen of the big guns to arrest Roger Stone for made-up crime. Then there is all of that Russia, Russia, Russia investigation for Hillary that kept many busy for over 2 years.

It's hard work being the DNC's goon squad!

Super easy to find domestic terrorism when you count anything, to include posting in this thread, as terrorism.

A person would think that out of 2700 active cases there would be at least one newsworthy case of someone actually being charged....


But what would I know???

Who the hell believes this crap? The FBI is a criminal/terrorist organization.

I understand this completely.

A few months ago, I made the decision to make more Mexican food, so the amount of taco shells and tortillas I buy has tripled.

Turns out, the more you decide to do something, the more you do it.

I believe everyone who was in or around the Capital during the January 6th event was investigated by the FBI for domestic terrorism. I know my uncle had an investigation open on him and he simply was there and did not go into the capital. So their caseload numbers escalated from that one event. Since most FBI agents worked from home in 2020(covid) they needed to get their caseload numbers in 2021!
