WATCH: FBI director goes silent when asked if country 'safer' under Biden
Fox News ^ | 10/31/23 | Brandon Gillespie

FBI Director Christopher Wray went silent Tuesday when questioned over whether the country was safer since President Biden took office.

"Is the United States safer from foreign terror threats today? Are we safer than when Joe Biden took office — from the day he took office?" Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., asked Wray during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing.

Wray took an extended pause, sitting silently and appearing to be in deep thought before finally answering.

"What I would say to you is that the terror threats have elevated. But I also think there are a lot of things the country has done throughout law enforcement to be better prepared to deal with them," he said, not directly saying whether the country had become safer under Biden's watch.

"I asked FBI Director Wray a simple question: is the U.S. safer today than it was before [Joe Biden] took office? After nearly 10 seconds of silence, he finally admitted what we all know… '…the terror threats have elevated…'" Scott wrote on X following the hearing.

During the hearing Wray warned that the threat of a terror attack against Americans has been raised to a "whole other level" due to ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

"The reality is that the terrorism threat has been elevated throughout 2023, but the ongoing war in the Middle East has raised the threat of an attack against Americans in the United States to a whole other level,"

Even for Wray, a well paid professional LIAR, that would have been a humdinger of a lie to say Biden has made America safer.

Possibly around Thanksgiving or Christmas.

It’s Wray’s job to keep us safe. We are not safer under Wray who needs to be fired.

Then whose job is it to keep us safe from Wray and his agents?

These ass-clowns can’t put two and two together. Whose fault would this ‘ongoing conflict’ be?

As bad as I think it’s going to get, there’s some solace to be had in the fact that he (and his children, and his friends, and everyone he’s ever met) are going to be living in the regret gulag with the rest of us. Their gulag might be a sliver nicer if they’re lucky, but this dystopia they’ve driven us into is big enough for everyone.

While the lying treasonous bastages have been busy labeling patriots as domestic terrorists real live actual terrorists have flooded the wide open intentional non border and are now poised to strike vulnerable soft targets everywhere and they own it 1000%.

Stolen elections have severe consequences that we haven't even seen yet.

I am not sure what biden wants more. Are they worried about some major attacks because of his open border. OR are they wanting a major attack to crack down on freedoms and seize more power for the democrat party DOJ enforcers?
