There is a lot of complications about what happened here, what went wrong on january 6th. But i think youll hear questions about whether the fbi should have done more to get inside of these groups. We know that some of the groups are certainly planning a lot of the events, that we know from the Court Documents and the charges that have been brought against 300 people. We know there was some planning involved. Why did the fbi not see that. Why did they miss some of that. And i think youll hear some defense from the director about some of those questions. We just see him seated there, fbi director wray. Evan, thank you very much. Well listen into this as soon as he starts speaking. It looks like an fbi mask there, perhaps. As we wait to hear from him, andrew mccabe, ron brown steen and Josh Campbell here. Quickly, because i expect them to start shortly here, there is a lot of blame to go around. The u. S. Capitol police and the fbi and i was wondering, when everybody is to blame no one i
That they are getting close to arresting that person or at least identifying that person because its a big outstanding question. Also i think with the hearing one of the things were going to see come up again and again is a clash between First Amendment rights and what the fbi is able to do in its investigation, Congress People will want to know why the fbi did not act on speech and the fbi is going to have to explain again and again that in the United States you can speak about things like attacking the capitol, what the fbi investigates is violence and plots, but we have very, very aggressive free speech rights here in the United States and thats going to be a big thorny issue that they will be working out today. Clint, as director wray prepares to take his seat, hes sitting down right now, youve been this that seat before testifying before congress as someone who has worked within the fbi. What are you going to be looking for today, especially when it comes to addressing the growing

And Community Centers are horrible and are painful and a very sad reminder of the work that still must be done to rout out hate and prejudice and evil. Sarah murray is joining us from the white house. Deb is in new york. Let us know about this recent wave of threats and antisemitic ings dents. I can tell you that there was another threat this morning in san diego. That brings the total number up to 70 threats at 55 different jewish Community Centers across the country in 27 states. The Common Thread in all of this appears to be the phone call itself. The caller or callers is using some sort of a masking technology in order to disguise their voice. Each time these threats are called in, the believes have to be evacuated, the bomb squad has to come in and give an all clear sign. In maryland 200 Young Children had to be taken out of that school along with some of the elderly who were there for classes. Now, security, as you can imagine, is very tight at all of these places.
