Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) questioned FBI Director Christopher Wray about a recent Project Veritas Report provided by a whistleblower which revealed FBI guidelines for identifying “Militia Violent Extremists.”
In the leaked document, the Betsy Ross Flag, Gadsden Flag, and other common American symbols were portrayed as potential materials used by these alleged “extremists.”
References to US Constitution’s Second Amendment, using the abbreviation “2A” is also included on the list.
Before Cruz asked Wray to respond, he gave a lengthy statement about the Project Veritas Report:
I hear regularly from FBI agents and from professionals at the Department of Justice who are dismayed that our law enforcement has been weaponized and politicized, rather than remaining apolitical, as it has been for the history of our country. Yesterday, it was reported that Project Veritas had obtained a copy of an FBI training material, which listed various symbols and themes, which in the FBI’s estimation, were indicative of, quote, “Militia Violent Extremism.” Now, these symbols weren’t things like the Ku Klux Klan or the Nazi Party, which naturally would be symbols of that, but instead they include rather astonishingly, patriotic symbols of our nation and our history. Included on this list is the Betsy Ross flag. Now, that is fairly remarkable that the Betsy Ross flag, in the FBI’s indication, is indicative of Militia Violent Extremism because, among other people who have been publicly, alongside the Betsy Ross flag, we have President Barack Obama, who was sworn in directly underneath the Betsy Ross flags. But, it’s not just President Obama, we also have President Biden, who was sworn-in under Betsy Ross flags. It’s not just the Betsy Ross flag. Also on this list is the Gadsden flag as a symbol of violent extremism. Now, the State of Virginia has a license plate for the Gadsden flag, as do many other states. I think people would be astonished to find that having that license plate, the FBI indicates that you’re a violent extremist.
FBI Director Wray indicated that he wasn’t aware of that “specific document:”
Well Senator, I’m not familiar with the particular document that you have behind you and I’m not in the practice of trying to comment on documents I haven’t recognized, but I will tell you that when we put out intelligence products, including ones that reference symbols, which we do across a wide variety of contexts, we usually make great pains- take great pains to put caveats and warnings in the document that make clear that a symbol alone is not considered evidence of violent extremism.
God help us! These people r chasing their own tails
Well shit…. im on most lists
BOSS move. Cruz ain't scared
Christopher Wray and the FBI are the real terrorists and treasonous traitors for calling U.S. citizens who have common symbols of the USA,terrorists.What needs to happen to the FBI is what JFK Sr. wanted to do to the CIA before he was assassinated,it needs to be torn to a million pieces and scattered to the wind.
This is what happens when Communists infiltrate federal law enforcement. Hoover must be spinning in his grave.
Ammoland News' journalist John Crump and lawyer Steven Stamboulieh’s broke this story. Project Veritas just downloaded their images and took credit. Give those hard-working journalists credit where it's due.
You could tell he had the look of we were caught, AGAIN. Cruz should have interrupted right there and called him on HIS BS!!
I went out to the DOJ Civil Rights Team and filed a complaint about this. I said it infringed on at least the First, Second, Fifth and Ninth Amendments. I should have included the Tenth too as this is an infringement of Feds by enterprise to take away our rights, think that is what tenth covers.
I went on to state how this is Pattern & Practice to create tainted policies and procedures to expressly give Qualified Immunity not just to Federal agencies but local law enforcement to take away our rights.
I hope you get supporters to go out to the DOJ and file Civil Rights complaints more often. May be pissing in the wind but could push more mistakes out to the public. Funny thing was the DOJ sent back a form message seemingly after someone there got my complaint, it said I may want to contact the FBI.
Thx for listening,
Chris
Why is he still in the FBI? I don't understand why these people are no fired or in prison for treason.
Time to disband the FBI!
Why don't these people ever get held accountable?
Ted is the man. Ted for president.
More buildings were burned under the anti and blm flags in the summer of 2020. Wray has violated his oath of office, not because he is uninformed. But because he is not driving the policy and actions of the FBI. If he is not setting the pace and tone then why is he there? If he was running the show this would not be a surprise and he would be totally aware of the direction of his directs and indirects.
The director of the FBI hasn't seen this document? Are we supposed to believe that obvious lie?
ABSENT:
– antifa logo
– anarcho-communist flag
– BLM/associates flags (e.g. BAMN, responsible for property destruction and not much else)
– logos of WEF, UN, World Bank
How about Chris Wray STFU! Are you kidding me?
Fuck the security state and their predictive precrime algorithms.
They hate America and want to adopt it into a new global communist state in the reflection of the CCP
Make Tar and Feathers Great Again
We need to defund the FBI
As usual the leaders of these departments are fully in control of their department 🤪
This is part of changing the culture of the United States and turning it upside down
Why not real symbols like kkk or NAZI but patriotic symbols? CRAZY NUTS running the FBI and so called INJUSTICE DEPARTMENT. These people are driven by evil and hate the Constitution unless it keeps their butt out of trouble like "freedom of speech" while depriving US CITIZENS of our free speech. Lord God take down these evil ones and bring sanity and civility and REAL JUSTICE to our country. Let JUSTICE not be freedom for evil doers but ACCOUNTABILITY for evil with prosecution. Help Americans rise up and take back their freedoms God set up through men who wrote the Constitution and TRUE JUST LAWS for our protection and prosecution of real criminals not those who go against their evil plans in some parts of government. Place angels throughout the government and hold accountable all who would destroy this great land and enslave the people and defy you and good just people across this land and around the world. Thank you Lord for TRUE JUSTICE and mercy for those who change their evil paths to good.
By the way the real CONSTITUTION was written by men who took notes from the sermons of great preachers at that time. Though tailored with their wording the constitutionists were inspired by Godly sermons and many words were almost word for word from some preachers. They would hang or kick out of the country most of our government today.
I love that he did “a Nikita” and slammed his boot on the desk. 🤣
Despot.
Tax dollars at work. Fabulous 🤮
I'd like to see the rest of what he said
Hmmm, it is quite apparent that we have the wrong people in leadership at the FBI. This stands for Federal Bureau of Investigation….it also stands for something else, Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity….Really ?
Fucking useless grifters, running the World's largest criminal organization. Why hasn't the IRS gone after any of these agencies for falsifying documents to give themselves OT or pay raises. This group will have to be physically taken out of Govt or they will never stop. They have no morals or consciousness of their greedy acts. Arrest them, someone.
The FBI and CIA are corrupt to the core and MUST be ripped apart and rebuilt with men and women who LOVE OUR CONSTITUTION.
WHERE IS REAL JUSTICE FOR WE THE PEOPLE? There I said it.
Why wouldn't he know isn't he the boss
Since when is ignorance an excuse…
So what your saying director, is that you have some rogue agents??
Keep holding these corrupt human beings accountable.
They hate America, they hate freedom, they hate private ownership, and they hate capitalism. We all knew this though.
#ProjectVeritasHeroes
A Taxpayer voting for a Democrat is like a Chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.
So the FBI thinks everyday law abiding American citizens are terrorist groups? Some days you wake up see this going on and think how long was I sleeping? This is insanity
They don’t want to just come out and say it. The American government is already at war…. with the American people. A secret Massive genocide is occurring right now globally.
He looked really angry until asked to speak. Really angry
Gadsden county pride baby!
The FBI is corrupt and should be disbanded.
The FBI is the biggest criminal organisation in America
The right keeps losing because they keep trying to play the lefts game, but the left doesn't even obey their own rules, the left doesn't care about right or wrong, only winning, which is why they always win in the end. The right will disavow its own allies for "optics", "optics" which is controlled by the left, so in the end the right betrays its own and gains nothing. The left meanwhile supports its own, even when it's own is violent criminals, because the left only cares about winning.
There's a few solutions to the problems of our time, none of them pretty, peaceful, or easy. I hope we act before it's too late.
the federal bureau if instigations has been busy instigating.
This is how wicked people behave when they get caught breaking the law. There's nothing new under the sun. Imagine Moses and his fellow "Jews."
Aaron said, "Look Moses, all I did was ask the people to lend me their gold jewelry. I tossed the gold into the fire and out popped this golden calf!" (Exodus 32:1-6, 19-25) Aaron, Moses' brother, was full of "bull."
It's over folks.
