FBI has 1,000 open domestic terror investigations: director
FBI Director Chris Wray on Wednesday told lawmakers that the bureau currently has “about 1,000” open domestic terrorism investigations, amid ongoing debate about the government’s response to the violence in Charlottesville, Va. that left a 32-year-old woman dead.
By comparison, the bureau also has about 1,000 open cases related to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), Wray told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
Attacks by white supremacists are “almost triple” those by individuals who identify with a jihadist movement, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) said Wednesday.

Like I said, I'm not worried about Achmed wearing a turban in a desert on the other side of the world threatening to cut my head off...I more worried about Billy Bob wearing khakis who lives 3 blocks from me trying to buy thermite bombs
How could honestly post this article. Wray never said anything about who made up the terrorists being arrested. There was a statement in the article saying 2 to 1 without an attribution as to whether it was from the FBI. The only statement that had numbers an attributed to anyone is from McCaskill saying 3 to 1 but without any hint as to where she got that ratio. In other words this a Democratic hit piece trying to make up support for Democrats' accusations.
Actually he did but you've got to be interested enough to go watch the hearing. McCaskill's question to Wray differentiated between 'International' and 'domestic' terrorists and white supremacists in particular.
Government data on the number of white supremacist incidents compared to the number of Islamist attacks is scant, but some independent data suggests that the number could be as high as 2 to 1 — including both plots and attacks carried out.
What do you think, lmm, do you think that print in red carries any weight. The Hill just slipped that in for effect, you know, kind of like a bass booster.
And Clare McCasskill, she's not the FBI, she's a Liberal hack. I hope you don't believe any of this.
How many people do you think would have died in Tennessee the other day if the white guy hadn't stopped the black guy from killing all of them. It was a bad thing, I can say they were lucky the white guy had a gun in his car at the church.
Hey, I'm interested, but don't feel like looking it up. How about looking up some white supremacist killings and post them here. I can deal with it. Something within the last 50 years will do.
