FBI Director Says They’ve Assessed For Some Time That COVID Came From A Lab Leak

What, exactly, is “assessed for some time”? How long has the FBI thought this? That would be an extremely important time frame, since anyone who said that it came from the Wuhan lab and was then shut down, blocked on social media, and treated like a nutty conspiracy theorist deserves an apology

‘Potential lab incident’: FBI director Wray speaks publicly for 1st time on COVID-19 origin

FBI director Christopher Wray on Tuesday spoke publicly for the first time on the bureau’s assessment that the COVID-19 virus “most likely” originated from a potential lab incident in Wuhan, China.

He also faulted the Chinese government in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier for, he said, trying to thwart the work of U.S. agencies investigating the beginnings of the global pandemic.

“The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan,” he said.

“Let’s step back for a second. You know, the FBI has folks agents, professionals, analysts, virologists, microbiologist, etc, who focus specifically on the dangers of biological threats, which include things like novel viruses like COVID and the concerns that they’re in the wrong hands,” he said, “some bad guys, a hostile nation state, a terrorist a criminal, the threats that those those could pose.

“So, here you’re talking about a potential leak from a Chinese government-controlled lab that killed millions of Americans, and that’s precisely what that capability was designed for,” he continued. “I should add that, that our work related to this continues. And there are not a whole lot of details I can share that aren’t — aren’t classified,” he told Baier.

The one necessary detail, again, is when this determination was made. What day, month, and year did they come to this finding? Was it recent? Last year? 2021? 2020?

    It is pretty obvious that if the FBI had a position that agreed with Trump prior to the 2020 election on any subject at all, they would keep it to themselves. For example, they knew what was on Hunter’s laptop and that it was legit and they kept that in a dark hole. They knew what was in Biden’s daughter’s diary and kept that under wraps. They know with certainty everyone who visited Epstein’s island and who all the customers on Maxwell’s black book and not a word about them has leaked. The FBI is pretty clearly in the business of protecting Democrats.

    Ah, “classified”.
    The term most used to avoid any culpability for their mischief.
    Thanks Chris.
    Such an honorable fella.

    Will Trump appointee Republican (and also Asst AG under George W Bush) Christopher Wray and also the DOE share their evidence? Mr Wray has been head of the FBI since Trump fired Comey in 2017. Why would Wray release the information now if the FBI had it since 2021? Maybe to help Trump 2024??

    Democrat Jennifer Granholm, head of the DOE, released their claim.

    Data and evidence must drive the conclusions, not partisanship. It’s possible that both agencies cannot disclose their methods for gathering the information. Could be very spy vs spy stuff! Let’s hope they can at least share the evidence with trusted scientists.

    The public scientific information cannot determine if SARS-CoV-2 came from an animal or a lab leak.

      Oh, now? Bwaha!
      Go back and look at your own comments, dipshit.
      Maybe you’d stop being such a dumbfuck but that’s doubtful.

    Not a “leak”. A deliberate release. The American Communist Party nee Demonrats and the CCP conspired to release the virus in order to create the Plannedemic so they could use it as an excuse to implement ubiquitous widespread “mail in voting”. This allowed the criminal left to commit election fraud on a vast never before seen scale and steal the White House. Once in power they then realized they could use the Plannedemic to poisoinuntold millions of people with their poison jabs. Over the last three+ years the communist left has implemented a crime spree that Hitler could only dream about.

    • Elwood P. Dowd says:

      Wow. Why would the Chinese release a virus that killed their economy and millions of their own people?

      There is scant evidence that the election was stolen from Trump.

      There is scant evidence that the mRNA vaccines are dangerous or poisonous.

      Hitler was a Nazi, not a Communist.

      Every American rightist who believes this nonsense is mentally unsound.

        Listen troll, I’ll explain in small words. The CCP thinks in long terms. Sacrificing some wealth now for a future advantage. Also “millions of Chinese citizens” is irrelevant to the CCP. Just like millions of American lives is irrelevant to the criminals you work for. Releasing the virus allowed the DNC….who THEY OWN to steal the election with the aforementioned “mail in cheating”…. Err I mean voting (sic). And denying that thy stolethe election an ignoring the mountains of evidence doesn’t change that reality. Why don’t you do America and the world a favor…go take a long walk on a short pier. The Plannedemic put the CCP’s puppets in the DNC in power. That was worth a LOT to them.

        • Professor Hale says:

          Dan,

          It’s very unlikely that the Chinese deliberately released this virus in China. It just doesn’t serve any purpose for them. It makes perfect Chinese sense that they allowed it to spread beyond their borders once it was out and it makes perfect sense that their own lab quarantine procedures were undercut by corruption and incompetence. It also makes perfect sense that people in the US government took advantage of the situation to weaken Trump going into the 2020 elections. The US government is a big place though and I know with certainty that there were a lot of people in the government response who simply did not know what to expect and they were taking counsel of their fears and trying to do the right thing to save lives. There is room on this plate for malintent and for altruism.

      • ruralcounsel says:

        Let’s see, have they ever done such a thing before?
        Yes, they have. The Cultural Revolution and the Red Guard murdered millions.

        I notice you are slowly shifting from “no evidence” to “scant evidence” on a couple of issues.and the evidence on mRNA vaccines is building fast. The excess deaths issue is taking off and is not going to be able to be hidden. The long term medical issues with the vaccines that were tested for 28 days instead of 7-9 years will become obvious with time. It would be logically impossible to find them in the short term. And the election malfeasance was never properly investigated, and will only be buried deeper as time goes by.

        The only difference between national socialists and global communists is the geographic scope of their power. Hitler and Stalin behaved identically.

        There will be a point where every American Leftist who keeps denying these things is mentally delusional. On purpose.

    Dan you fuckin Nutzie.
    You are like a pitiful snowflake
    Are you aware that right now there are commies under your own bred ?
    Better double up on the aluminum foil hat
    You do know that the Chinese spy balloon was broadcasting UV radiation right into your brain ?
    Stop drinking that floridated water
    Didn’t you get trump’s message about how much he loved his Brother Kim?
