"A report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) revealed that neither FBI Director Christopher Wray nor Attorney General Merrick Garland has conducted an internal investigation into the FBI's processing of information known ahead of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
A key piece of the House Select Committee investigating the attack focused on the failures of law enforcement, finding multiple examples of agencies that were warned ahead of time that an attack was coming and did nothing to ensure added protection on Jan. 6."

Wray even lied when he testified before Congress, and nothing was done.
We also know the Secret Service was complicit in the insurrection, Pence wouldn't get into that car and yet an Inspector General cleared the SS of wrongdoing.
Someone needs to investigate the investigators and not the Magat House committee.
Another quote from the link;
Under the section titled "Recommendations for Executive Action," the report clarifies that there are 10 recommendations, including, "The director of the FBI should assess the extent to which and why personnel did not process information related to the events of Jan. 6 according to policy. The director of the FBI should, following its assessment, implement a plan to address any internal control deficiencies identified to ensure personnel consistently follow policies for processing information."
Addressing the report, former FBI general counsel Andrew Weissmann said, "This is really unacceptable and it is on Garland and Wray."

(21,312 posts)he may find that members of law enforcement were complicit in the insurrection and that would damage the institutions of DOJ and the FBI?
Christopher Wray flat out lied to Congress and that has been swept under the rug.

(50,949 posts)He isn't saving the institutions by trying to keep that under wraps. He's doing the opposite. And making it likely they will regroup and try something else.
And why is Wray still working?

(21,312 posts)"Former special counsel for the Depart of Defense, Ryan Goodman, posted the excerpts on Twitter demanding a new FBI director, ideally one "who'll conduct a true review of FBI's Jan. 6 intelligence failures."
Speaking on a Just Security podcast in Nov. 2022, former FBI special agent Asha Rangappa and former deputy director and acting director Andrew McCabe highlighted that at the first part of the investigations around the attack, the FBI lied about having advanced warning an attack was coming. In fact, as late as June 2021, Wray still claimed that the FBI didn't have intelligence about Jan. 6 while testifying to Congress."

(50,949 posts)He's on the tv this morning saying it's more than likely that Covid was leaked from a Chinese lab. What's his game, anyway? I have trouble believing anything out of his mouth.

(21,312 posts)they are not as confident as the FBI is that the leak came from the lab. The FBI and Christopher Wray are pushing that narrative.
I remember a year ago when Wray went on TV and pushed the narrative that China was a bigger threat than Russia.
