美国联邦调查局局长称国会攻击“国内恐怖主义”,没有反法西斯证据

2021-03-03 13:31   美国新闻网   - 

自1月6日美国国会大厦遇袭以来,美国联邦调查局局长克里斯托弗·雷第一次在国会作证,他星期二对国会议员说,他对这起事件感到“震惊”暴力攻击同时为该局处理近年来日益增长的国内恐怖威胁进行辩护。

雷在他的开幕词中说:“我感到震惊的是,你们,我们国家的当选领导人,就在这些大厅里受到了伤害。”。“那次袭击、那次围攻是犯罪行为,简单明了,他的行为被我们联邦调查局视为国内恐怖主义。它在我们的民主中没有一席之地,容忍它将是对我们国家法治的嘲弄。”

雷证明因为该局面临着审查共享情报导致了这次袭击及其在解决国家国内恐怖危机中的广泛作用。

瑞告诉参议院司法委员会,该局已经逮捕了270多名参与暴力叛乱的嫌疑人,其中300多人面临联邦指控,每天都有更多的人被指认。他称美国公众是联邦调查局在调查中的“最大合作伙伴”,迄今已向特工发送了27万多条数字媒体线索。

更广泛地说,这位联邦调查局局长表示,国内恐怖主义调查有2000起,高于他2017年首次开始调查时的近1000起。

司法委员会主席迪克·德宾追问国会大厦的袭击是否涉及白人至上主义者,瑞说大多数被捕的人可以归类为民兵极端分子。

“我们联邦调查局不倾向于从右和左的角度来看待暴力极端主义,这不是我们所关注的范围。我想说的是这很清楚....到目前为止,我们已经逮捕了越来越多与6号事件有关的人,我们称之为民兵暴力极端分子...有些人已经意识到,我可能是出于种族动机的极端分子,”他解释说。

局长说,越来越难确定国内极端分子的动机,但补充说,出于种族动机的极端主义案件是“我们国内恐怖主义案件总量的最大一部分”。

“在过去十年中,最具杀伤力的是这些极端分子。驱使这些人的东西,我认为范围。我们特别努力解决的一个问题是,越来越多的意识形态,如果你愿意的话,正在激发这些暴力极端分子,越来越不连贯,越来越不线性,越来越不容易确定,”补充说,这可能是“一点点这个,一点点那个”,加上一些个人的不满。

2021年1月6日,华盛顿特区,特朗普的支持者在推动路障突袭美国国会大厦时,与警察和安全部队发生冲突。

他说,目前没有迹象表明任何反法西斯成员像一些共和党人所说的那样参与了对国会大厦的袭击。

联邦调查局局长说,试图扰乱国会的最小但最严重的团体是国内恐怖分子。

“人数上最小的群体,但绝对是最严重的群体。那些...他闯入国会大厦,对执法人员实施暴力,试图干扰国会议员履行宪法职责,其中一些人显然来到华盛顿,我们现在知道,他们有计划和意图实施最恶劣的暴力,我们会考虑国内恐怖主义,”他说。

瑞告诉立法者,联邦调查局“多年来”一直在“敲响警钟”,警告国内恐怖威胁不断上升。

“每当我们有机会的时候,我们都试图强调这是一个首要问题,对联邦调查局来说也是如此,”雷说。“联邦调查局不会容忍策划或实施暴力的煽动者和极端分子。句号。这适用于任何类型的暴力极端分子。”

1月5日,当德宾问Wray关于美国联邦调查局在诺福克的外地办事处的情况报告时,该报告警告说,有人在1月6日策划了“战争”,并提供了关于国会大厦潜在袭击的具体情报,Wray说,情报以三种不同的方式共享:在给联合恐怖主义工作队的电子邮件中与当地执法部门和国会警察共享,然后由联邦调查局在华盛顿外地办事处的指挥所口头传达,然后通过全国执法部门可访问的门户共享。

Wray强调,正如前国会警察局长史蒂文·桑德(Steven Sund)上周在国会听证会上所做的那样,这些信息是“原始的”和“未经核实的”,并表示信息共享过程符合该局的正常程序。与此同时,他透露直到6号之后才看到报告。

桑德辩称,执法机构和情报机构没有在袭击发生前向他的部队发出关于国会大厦面临具体威胁的适当警报,他个人并不了解联邦调查局诺福克外地办事处的信息。

大都会警察局代理局长罗伯特·孔戴(Robert Contee)上周表示,他的电话是全天候的,可以接听任何电话,而且来自诺福克的联邦调查局公告是在晚上7点后通过电子邮件发送的这一事实是不可原谅的。

联邦调查局局长克里斯托弗·雷在参议院司法委员会作证,讲述了2021年3月2日在DC国会山发生的1月6日袭击美国国会大厦的事件。

当被立法者多次追问时,Wray无法解释为什么诺福克现场办公室的情况报告是迄今为止联邦调查局在1月6日袭击之前已知的唯一一份具体的情报,以及为什么该局似乎无法事先从意图实施暴力的个人那里听到团体之间的广泛交谈。

当民主党参议员艾米·克洛布查尔(Amy Klobuchar)问联邦调查局(FBI)是否可以在国会大厦袭击之前在情报共享方面做得更多时,Wray承认,“我认为1月6日发生的事情不是一个可接受的结果,这就是为什么我们如此努力地寻找如何改进这个过程。...我们会继续努力变得更好。”

瑞还说,在前往华盛顿参加国会大厦活动之前,联邦调查局监视名单上的人会被特工拜访并登记。

“在许多情况下,我们让他们家乡州或家乡城市的代理人接近这些人,采访他们,即使我们没有对某人收费的依据,这也阻止了许多人旅行,”他解释说。

杜宾在听证会开始时播放了一段视频,其中包括国会大厦袭击事件的暴力片段,其中包括美国广播公司新闻的多段摘录专访首席大法官记者皮埃尔·托马斯采访了国会警察哈里·邓恩。

“在那个可怕的日子里,仇恨在我们国家并不是一个新现象,”杜宾说,在这段情绪化的视频结束时,邓恩问,“这是美国吗?”

FBI director says Capitol assault 'domestic terrorism,' no evidence of antifa

Testifying in front of Congress for the first time since the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, FBI Director Christopher Wray told lawmakers Tuesday he was "appalled" about theviolent attackwhile defending the bureau's handling of the rising domestic terror threat in recent years.

"I was appalled that you, our country's elected leaders were victimized right here in these very halls," Wray said in his opening statement. "That attack, that siege was criminal behavior, plain and simple and his behavior that we, the FBI view as domestic terrorism. It's got no place in our democracy and tolerating it would make a mockery of our nation's rule of law."

Wraytestifiedas the bureau faces scrutiny over whether it properlyshared intelligenceleading up to the assault as well as its broader role in addressing the nation's domestic terror crisis.

Wray told the Senate Judiciary Committee the bureau has arrested more than 270 suspects involved in the violent insurrection with more than 300 facing federal charges and more being identified every day. He called the American public the FBI's "greatest partner" in the investigation with more than 270,000 digital media tips sent to agents so far.

More broadly, the FBI director said that there are 2,000 domestic terrorism investigations, up from almost 1,000 when he first started in 2017.

Pressed by Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin whether the Capitol attack involved white supremacists, Wray said the majority of the people arrested could be categorized as militia extremists.

"We at the FBI don't tend to think of violent extremism in terms of right, left, that's not a spectrum that we look at. What I would say is that it is clear .... a large and growing number of the people that we have arrested so far in the connection with the 6th are what we would call militia violent extremists ... and some already who emerged that I would have been in the racially motivated extremist bucket," he explained.

The director said it is getting harder and harder to identify the motives of domestic extremists, but added that racially motivated extremist cases are "the biggest chunk of our domestic terrorism caseload overall."

"And the most lethality over the last decade has been from these same extremists. The things that drive these people, I think range. One of the things that we struggle with in particular is that more and more the ideologies, if you will, that are motivating some of these violent extremists are less and less coherent, less and less linear, less and less easy to kind of pin down," adding it could be "a little bit of this and a little bit of that" with some personal grievance added in.

He said at the moment there is no indication that any antifa members participated in the Capitol assault as some Republicans have suggested.

The FBI director said the smallest, but the most serious, group that attempted to disrupt Congress were domestic terrorists.

"The smallest group numerically, but by far and away the most serious group. are those who ... breached the Capitol grounds, who engaged in violence against law enforcement who attempted to disrupt the members of Congress in the conduct of their constitutional responsibilities and of those, some of those people, clearly came to Washington, we now know, with plans and intentions to engage in the worst kind of violence, we would consider domestic terrorism," he said.

Wray told lawmakers that the FBI has been "sounding the alarm" about the rising domestic terror threat for "a number of years now."

"Whenever we've had the chance we've tried to emphasize that this is a top concern and remained so for the FBI," Wray said. "The FBI will not tolerate agitators and extremists who plan or committed violence. Period. And that goes for violent extremists, of any stripe."

When Durbin asked Wray about the situation report from the FBI field office in Norfolk on Jan. 5 that warned of individuals plotting "war" on Jan. 6, with specific intelligence about a potential attack on the Capitol, Wray said that the intelligence was shared three different ways: with local law enforcement and Capitol Police in an email to the Joint Terrorism Task Force, then verbally communicated by the FBI's command post in the bureau's Washington field office, and was then shared through a portal accessible by law enforcement around the country.

Wray emphasized, as did former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund at a congressional hearing last week, that the information was "raw" and "unverified" and said the information sharing process was consistent with the bureau's normal procedures. At the same time, he revealed he hadn't seen the report until after the 6th.

Sund argued his force was not properly alerted by law enforcement and intelligence agencies about specific threats to the Capitol in advance of the attack and that he personally wasn't privy to the information from the FBI Norfolk field office.

Robert Contee, acting chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, said last week that his phone is on 24/7 and is available to take any call and the fact that the FBI bulletin from Norfolk came through email after 7 p.m. is not excusable.

Wray was not able to explain when pressed multiple times by lawmakers why the Norfolk field office's situational report is so far the only specific intel known to have been shared by the FBI prior to the Jan. 6 attack and why the bureau seemingly wasn't able to pick up on the extensive chatter among groups beforehand from individuals intent on committing violence.

When Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar asked whether FBI could have done more in its intel sharing in advance of the Capitol attack, Wray conceded, "I do not consider what happened on Jan. 6 to be an acceptable result, and that's why we're looking so hard at figuring out how the process can be improved. ... We're gonna keep working to get better."

Wray also said that people who were on an FBI watchlist were visited by agents to check in before they were set to travel to Washington to participate in the Capitol.

"In a number of instances, we had agents in their home states or home cities approach those individuals, interview them and even if we didn't have a basis to charge somebody, it dissuaded a number of those people from traveling," he explained.

Durbin opened the hearing by playing a video with footage of the violent episodes from the Capitol assault that included multiple excerpts from an ABC Newsexclusive interviewChief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas did with Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn.

"The hate on display that terrible day is not a new phenomenon in our country," Durbin said, after the emotional video ended with the audio of Dunn asking, "Is this America?"
