FBI Director Christopher Wray said Tuesday he has never seen a time during his decades-long career when so many threats against the US were all as elevated as they are now, warning senators he sees “blinking lights everywhere.”

FBI Director Christopher Wray said Tuesday he has never seen a time during his decades-long career when so many threats against the US were all as elevated as they are now, warning senators he sees “blinking lights everywhere.”

During a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, ranking Republican member of the committee, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, asked Wray if he saw “blinking red lights” — referring to warning signs the US missed before the attack of 9/11.

“I see blinking lights everywhere I turn,” Wray said.

Wray also said that the bureau is working “around the clock” to “identify and disrupt” potential attacks by individuals inspired by the Hamas attacks on October 7.

    Typical cop talk. There is crime everywhere, and my department needs more money to stop it.

    Both could be true (real ‘blinking red lights’ problems, as well as farming Congress for more money).

    They could both be untrue. Or only one of them. They could even have different degrees of truth. So many options, such little time.

    Thats a nonsensical response. What exactly is the point that you’re trying to make?

      It’s not nonsensical, you’re nonsensical. I’m just joining in and trying to be thorough about the hypotheticals we’re listing, here. 😬
