Ex-FBI official Kevin Brock: ‘Hard to believe’ Wray doesn’t know if Bureau was present in J6 crowd

Former FBI Assistant Director for Intelligence Kevin Brock discusses FBI Director Christopher Wray’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee and comments on Director Wray’s seemingly lack of answers during the hearing, especially about if there was a FBI presence in the crowd on January 6th. Brocks says, while Director Wray seemed to have “answered that question twice and the first time around, he was a little bit more precise.  [Wray] made a distinction between undercover agents, FBI agents acting undercover blending into the crowd in an undercover capacity. And informants, which the FBI refers to as confidential human sources. I can almost guarantee you there are confidential human sources in that crowd that have reported to the FBI because the FBI has excellent coverage when it comes to violent extremists, right wing ultra anti-government, white supremacist who foment violence and to preach violence, they they have excellent coverage against those groups.” Brock going on to say that, “undercover agents is a different animal. And when [Wray] answered later in the day, he was asked point blank, ‘can you tell us if there were any undercover agents at the January 6 protest?’ He says, ‘I don't know,’ And that's stunning. That, frankly, I found that less than credible, and if he doesn't know, that is a huge disservice to him as the Director of the FBI that he wouldn't know that. And I just find that hard to believe. So you're left with a impression that he is obfuscating there.”
