Director Wray: A key part of the Chinese government's multi-pronged strategy to lie, to cheat, and to steal their way to surpassing us as the global superpower, is cyber…they've got a bigger hacking program than every other major nation combined, and have stolen more of our personal and corporate data, than all other nations combined..if each one of the FBI's cyber agents and intel analysts focused exclusively on nothing but China, Chinese hackers would still outnumber FBI cyber personnel by at least fifty to one.
Director Wray: We have about three hundred and eighty investigations specifically into cartel leadership. We are working with our Mexican law enforcement partners, through vetted teams, to go after some of those.
Carter: For the last eighteen months we turned on the TV about the Russia story…and then we found out it originated with a couple of FBI agents…those people are out now doing TV appearances…they weren't arrested by the FBI, I'm not sure they were investigated by the FBI. They were political appointees, working for the FBI…there are political appointees in the FBI that have been interfering, or at least working towards a political agenda fin the agency for quite some time.
Director Wray: There are no political appointees in the FBI. Everybody in the FBI is a career civil servant…some of the individuals you referred to; I turned over the entire leadership team since I joined the FBI…we're going to follow the facts wherever they may lead, no matter who likes it.
Garcia: We need to know that someone has been fired. My understanding is that no one has been arrested for abuses of FISA in the past. We've had investigations that have been going on for years and we haven't seen any conclusion of those things.
