and one of the things that senators are going to ask chris wray today, director wray, what are you doing to make sure this doesn't happen again. what guidelines, what guardrails can you put in place to make sure that every complaint of sexual abuse is thoroughly investigated. >> and then the question, dan murphy, is investigated by whom and how? why aren't they in-person interviews and why aren't there women agents involved. >> yeah, i think that the report shows so clearly, this is some of the most high profile athletes in our country and the most decorated athletes in our country who are receiving this kind of treatment when they bring serious abuse concerns forward. and we pay attention to this case because of the names involved in some way, but this is common for so many other women and people who come forward to try to report abuse to law enforcement and i think it is a great example of all the changes and reforms that need to be made in order for those abuse claims to really be taken seriously for everyone, not just those who get the type of attention that would draw a senate heari

chris wray said today on the hill as he testified, he had no explanation for it.no investigation despite receiving credible allegations from the victims and the committee itself. they lied about it and covered it up. and then on top of that, the special agent in charge in indianapolis was applying for a job and trying to go for a job with the olympic committee at the very same time. and in those 14 months, dozens and dozens of young victims were at the hands of the predator nassar. so don, i can't explain it. i have had some personal experience with the fbi where a matter is reported and i've done it myself. reported different activities to the fbi. pretty serious crimes. if it is not counter terrorism, if it is not counter intelligence or cyber, they seem very lethargic getting off the ground. they seem ihyper focused. >> laura, i know you. i see that look on your face. i want to play something. this is moroney speaking with what happened to her. we'll play is it. >> i then told the fbi about tokyo. the day he gave me a sleeping pill for the plane ride to work on

chris wray and kavanaugh -- but this needs to be investigated by the doj.o me that the people subpoenaing the phone records are the select committee as opposed to the fbi. when the fbi subpoenas phone records, they don't ask nicely. they show up with two guys looking for the foils. that's how the fbi rolls when their backs are into it. mayor garland refused to put his backs into investigating the people with power. he's happy to go after qanon shaing men. that's an easy target for him. the people that's inspired and the mo brooks and don trump jr. the people that inspired this attack, mayor garland ain't got no time for them. that's the problem. the department of justice has more power and more pressure they can put on this investigation if mayor garland wants to put his back into it. >> i have said this. you're exactly right. i have said all along. people ignore subpoenas from congress all the time. you don't ignore the fbi. you can ignore a bill collector but not the person who shows up your door. curt, this is something else that's really key about this

i am sure that director chris wray will be addressing that in his internal efforts that he's going to make to address this. i can tell you that that's not consistent with my experience with the crimes against children program, which is a major effort within the criminal investigative division of the fbi. as i said, the agents who do that work are known for the exact opposite of what you saw here, which is one of the reasons why this is so incredibly hard to believe. but i understand the concern, i share that concern, and we need to make sure that these types of abject failures are not happening in other cases. it's absolutely unacceptable on any terms. >> senator blumenthal said the department of justice was a no-show. was the department of justice expected to show up there? why weren't they there? >> that's a great question. one of the lawmakers said the deputy attorney general, lisa monaco, had been invited to come and testify before lawmakers and had declined to do so. ultimately this question about whether someone should be criminally prosecuted, that fell to the justice departmen

fbi director chris wray said domestic terrorism doubled since 2020. let me listen to what the head of the national counterterrorism center her name is christine said on the terrorism threats we face now. take a listen. >> one of the other most pressing threats to the homeland is from domestic violent extremists and in particular, racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists and militia violent extremists that mobilize to violent independent from a formal or centralized organization. >> kathleen, january 6th felt like it was the beginning of sort of a test case for the way that white nationalism could use factious violence to achieve this. am i wrong to take that comprehensive of a view of what we're seeing on the right? >> i don't think so but i do think it's important when we talk about these not to paint with the same brush the violent extremists and the more main line activism happening within the militant right. what we have not studied very much is how those two ground swells joined together and this is part of what was so staggering and s

you know, as chris wray said today on the hill as he testified, he had no explanation for it.nvestigation despite receiving credible allegations from the victims and the committee, itself. they -- they lied about it and covered it up. and then, on top of that, the special agent in charge in indianapolis was applying for a job and -- and trying to show for a job with the oliympic committee at the very same time. and in those 14 months, dozens and dozens of -- of young victims were -- were at the hands of the predator, nassar. so, don, i can't explain it. i have had some personal experience with the fbi where if a matter is reported and i've -- and i've actually done that, myself. reported different activities to the fbi that were pretty serious crimes. if it's not counterterrorism, if it's not counterintelligence or cyber, they seem very lethargic in getting off the ground. they seem to be hyperfocused on those three things and they seem to let other things fall by the wayside. >> um, laura, i know you. and i see that look on your face. you are not happy with this. i want to pl

. >> and the fbi director chris wray who was not a part of this, and who was not in charge, and he'sa lawyer. what can now happen because the two fbi guys, one was allowed to retire, no charges. no penalties and nothing on his record and the other was fired being that the firing was just announced, i don't know when he was fired exactly, but the firing was announced two days ago, the day before the hearing. >> so what was really communicated, and i'm grateful for the recognition that things were mishandled. i think it needs to go much farther and i think it was outright corrupt when you have fbi officials who are lying to the department of justice and to the fbi, that's criminal, and were any other citizen to lie to our law enforcement they can and should be slapped with criminal charges. so the fact that that hasn't suspected disturbing to all of us, but in addition to that, we also have a system because of our qualified immunity and sovereign immunity lays and the criminal court and in civil court and we need to start having serious discussions about what needs to change in our qua

we had chris wray apologizing, but what happens next?of pressure to examine the actions of the agent that is accused of falsifying a document to investigate further or to do more, prosecute the agent that was accused of lying to the inspector general agents who were investigating the case, but the main thing we saw from the fbi is to say, this cannot happen ever again. the scale of this kind of problem is mammoth. the fbi in the last five years has investigated over 18,000 cases of sexual abuse and exploitation. they have to say, we will trust the word of victims. >> so christine, what about the committees? what about the u.s. olympic committee? what does accountability look like beyond this hearing? >> there has been some change. the men at the top of the u.s. olympic and paralympic committee are now gone, replace by women who are running the committee. safe sport does exist and even though there's a lot of controversy about safe sport, and i've covered a lot of those stories and dealt with figure skating sexual abuse, they are getting

fbi director chris wray warning of an alarming increase in attacks on law enforcement amid a rise inbeen battling the threat of terrorism and every other threat we face right through the teeth of a pandemic and rising danger to their own safety. and i say that because over the past year, we have seen a sharp and deeply disturbing uptick in violence against the law enforcement community. >> director wray saying that that increase includes 52 law enforcement officers being murdered on the job in the first eight months of this year. 52 murdered. one every five days. and more than in all of 2020. out front now, u.s. capitol police chief, tom manger. and i appreciate your time, chief. thank you very much. you know, when we hear these numbers, 52 law enforcement officers being murdered so far this year. um, and -- you know, one every five days and we look at that video. video, after video. it says, every day, still more video comes out about what happened on january 6th. what your officers were subject to in the violence of that mob. how concerned are you given the warning that you got tod

also speaking is fbi director chris wray. here's some of what he had to say. i'm sorry for what you and yourfamilies have been through, i'm sorry that so many people let you down over and over again. and i'm especially sorry that there were people at the fbi who had their own chance to stop this monster back in 2015 and failed. and that is inexcusable, it should never have happened, and we're doing everything in our power to make sure it never happens again. so that is the fbi willing to admit mistakes in this instance, but many are sceptical they will make changes after this report. here's the view of a us journalist who's been covering the story. i will be curious to see if they've changed any palaces, prevent things like this from happening, but there were also policies that were not being followed and very basic pieces of investigations were not happening at all and i think that is also wiped the gymnasts are there today, we have failed to see many federal prosecutions, people held accountable, and a word in my head listening to them as consequences. one o

that something that congress or whoever should be looking into including the attorney general and chris wrayfrom the inspector general report as they had some compelled interviews and compelled interviews means no fifth amendment which means prosecution has been sworn off. so i think that that probably means that they made a decision, somebody made a decision that mr. abbott was not going to face any criminal consequences. he could retire, it is pension and move on like nothing happened. >> dana: disgusting and not good enough, indeed. >> bill: amazing and brave testimony. at 22 minutes before the hour. it's all attention good attention? not for facebook. have a series of "wall street journal" investigations is putting a harsh spotlight on the social media giant. coming up you could take out $50,000 or more. you could use that money to pay credit card debt and other expenses, plan for retirement, and get back on your feet financially. call newday usa right now. voiceover: riders. wanderers on the road of life. the journey is why they ride. when the road is all you need, there is no destinati

you know, chris wray, the fbi director, was basically privately and publicly threatened by the presidente gone. and every fbi agent knew that. and to frank's really good point, there are two sides to this deceit, because if you have someone trying to keep your government, you know, apparatus from revealing what's a threat, and you also have them propping up a false threat, january 6th, to an earlier questioner's comment, becomes all the more completely -- almost foreshadowed because you are stopping your local law enforcement and your federal law enforcement from being willing to see what's in front of their face because it's not okay to say it. >> yeah, i mean, frank, it becomes preordained and i think you could say the permission structure granted to white supremacists and the growing acceptance of violence as acceptable on the right and according to polls, certainly put all those preconditions in place. i wonder if you can speak to, frank, how much -- how far ahead they got so, four years under the ex-president who corrupted the intelligence product, the homeland, dhs, this whistle-bl

2019, and actually, now that i think about it, maybe even before the middle of 2019, fbi director chris wrayat the number one threat to the homeland was domestic extremism. he testified on the hill multiple times about it, as did some of his deputies. and talked about why that was such a threat. but when it came time to actually preparing for it, when it came time to actually calling, you know, it out in the fall, as that chatter was rising, before january 6th, the fbi was pretty quiet. >> yeah. >> and now, there is a sort of, forgive the phrase, but there is still that kind of, like, shrinkage away from calling it out. the biden administration has its hands full, for sure, with crises that are multiplying, but the misinformation that's being spread around the country is its own kind of blooming crisis. you know, i had an editor once who used to call the most important stories the ones that are zigging and zagging and no one's really paying attention. this is one that's really worth our attention. just as covid was. because that misinformation that marjorie taylor greene is pushing, that all
