FBI Director Christopher Wray participated in a question and answer with NPR on Thursday afternoon to discuss the investigation into the Capitol riot on January 6.
He made it clear what his intentions are: to help keep the team-left narrative and fear alive and flourishing.
In terms of the ongoing investigation, Wray urged that the FBI will see it through to the end, no matter what.
“We intend to see this to its conclusion, no matter how many people it takes us to devote to it, no matter how long it takes us to do it, we’re going to see it to the end if we have the evidence to charge somebody and they committed a crime on that day, I expect them to be charged,” he said.
“We’ve arrested people all over the country, I think we have open investigations specifically related to the Jan. 6 siege in all but one of our 56 field offices, which gives you a sense of the national sprawl of the investigation. And in some of those instances, there have already been conspiracy charges small, I would call them sort of small cells of individuals working together, coordinating their travel, etc.”
Wray’s next sentence calls into question whether his investigators will be instructed to actually look for evidence or “produce” it.
“I don’t think we’ve seen some national conspiracy, but we’re going to keep digging,” he said.
Perhaps the most interesting question discussed was whether or not law enforcement preparation and response would have been different if the rioters were black.
“Our approach, the FBI’s approach we have one approach, which is if you take the law in your own hands and commit violence, it doesn’t matter what your motivation is, what your ideology is, we’re going to pursue you to the fullest extent of the law. And that was our approach over the summer. That’s been our approach with jihadists-inspired violent extremists, and that’s been our approach to the siege on the Capitol.”
However, there is an overwhelming amount of evidence that BLM and Antifa rioters were permitted to riot across the country last year with little to no police interference.
And, interestingly enough, Joe Biden’s Department of Justice has even been quietly dismissing dozens of felony and misdemeanor charges from last year’s Portland riots.
Charges such as arson, assault on law enforcement officers and other violent crimes are being dropped, many of them dismissed with prejudice, meaning they can’t be brought back to court in the future. Federal prosecutors have dismissed more than a third of pending charges from the violent and destructive protests that took place in Portland throughout the summer. Some of the most serious charges that have been dropped include four defendants charged with assaulting a federal officer.
To be specific, 31 out of 90 protest cases were dismissed, despite the Department of Justice’s warning that there would be “consequences for acts of violence.”
So, there clearly isn’t “one approach.”

What he really is saying when he talks of ‘keep diiging’ is they work very hard to ‘prove’ Donald trump provoked the riot and that it really was and armed insurrection in spit of the real proof!
And… don’t forget the millions and millions of taxpayer dollars that the country doesn’t have that will launder it’s way back to the communist occupier democrats coffer …for further propaganda, lies, deception and treason.
Wasting our money is what the left LOVES doing.
““Our approach, the FBI’s approach we have one approach, which is if you take the law in your own hands and commit violence, it doesn’t matter what your motivation is, what your ideology is, we’re going to pursue you to the fullest extent of the law”. Hey Chris Deep State, how many people from antifa and blm are you going after? Answer: None!!!!!!! Trump was the best President I ever had for his domestic policy for helping the common American and for his foreign policy. However, Trump ended up cutting his own throat, with the deep state actors, he (Trump) put into power. Like ITUSER and I stated, after Trump won the election in November, 2016, Trump should have cleaned house in all of the agencies / Departments and he should have never surrounded himself, in the White House, with the Deep State. I know I will take flack on this site, but the truth is the truth. Gina Haspel at the CIA, was a joke, Wray at the FBI was a joke and Trump’s two Attorney Generals were a joke.
AMEN!!!!
Trump should have cleaned HOUSE at the FBI. The entire scum-sucking org is rotten from the top down.
Don’t forget this IDIOT had Senile Old Joe’s son Hunter’s laptop for over a year and did NOTHING!! God Forbid he expose the Biden Crime Family before the Fraudulent election.
IT wasn’t just him, but the entire Dept of INJUSTICE apparatus, that did nothing with that laptop. BARR INCLUDED>

Well… endless they are a Democrat.
Unless they are antifa, in which case, we will totally ignore the evidence.
“…if you take the law in your own hands and commit violence, it doesn’t matter what your motivation is, what your ideology is, we’re going to pursue you to the fullest extent of the law….”
Fortunately for Anti-F.A. and BLM they operate outside and against law and order so they are safe from prosecution for their violence.
THey operate with the full support and funding of the Dem party.
how about arrest your self? you are a puppet clown for the communist party and you will full destruction of our nation
and its constitution in plain simple treason.
I hope they are putting the same resources into the 2020, and 2021 Left Wing riots all across the country, as that are to this January 6th riot.
The2020 & 2021 riots caused many more deaths, injuries and property damage to private and public buildings and businesses than anything that happened on January 6th!
Doubtful. AS we saw all last year.. ANTIFA and BLM were off limits, to LE..
