to your other point, christopher wray has testified under oath before congress. he didn't use the word insurrection. he said this was an act of domestic terrorism. that's the fbi director. that's the words we should be using. january 6th was an act of domestic terrorism. it's two plus two equals four stuff. ashli babbitt, all these who attacked the capitol are terrorists because the fbi director said it's an act of terrorism. if the islamic cleric said the election was fraud, stop the steal, i want my supporters to go to washington and stop the steal, and those muslims attacked the capitol, are you telling me that cleric would not be charged with incitement? donald trump would be screaming for that islamic cleric to be charged. in what nation can a man incite a terrorist attack on our capitol, radicalize people for two months and his punishment is he's off facebook for two months. now he's defending the terrorists. intellectually it's very hard to understand what's going on nour country right now that we're not using the term, not just fascist, terrorist. you're

i really wish we'd use the framing of fbi director christopher wray who called january 6th an act of that prism meaning all who attacked the capitol are terrorists. if you're defending the attack you are defending terrorists. donald trump incited a terrorist attack. in what system of justice do 500 people supporting donald trump attack our capitol because he wanted them to stop the steal. they are in prison. he is out playing golf and giving speeches saying the same lies that radicalized people for january 6th. the fwraf injustice before us is dangerous. we can't look away. we need democratic leaders to call it out much more than they are. >> so this business you were talking about, about deifying ashley babitt, we've all seen that piece of video that we repeat where they are smashing that last line of defense before those protesters and in some cases armed would have reached the members of congress. you saw the force with which they were using that. they had -- if they had gotten through, then you see the police officer with the gun aimed i'm sure praying he never had to use it. now

but yesterday, fbi director christopher wray shared information was provided to law enforcement multiple times and in multiple forms. ms. sanborn, that sounds like somebody was mistaken. can you corroborate director wray's statement, and if the warning was only sent in writing, why did not the fbi go further to alert law enforcement in a manner or consistent with the gravity of the threat? ms. sanborn: the information we received, took characterize what it was, it was off the internet on attributable to a specific person. that said, the content and suggestion of what may happen was concerning enough that based on our prioritizing our 56 field offices, they quickly wrote that up and within the hour had that information to the washington field office. they wrote it in a document typically for dissemination to partners. they wanted to make sure we didn't just rely on the dissemination of a product, that we also followed up with email. it went out in email to task force officers on the washington task force. numerous of those from the national capitol received that email. still, they did not
