NBC News interviewed FBI Director Christopher Wray yesterday and spent the first half of article talking about Trump using the DOJ to investigate his political opponents or something.
Then nearly halfway down the throw in this, which should have been the lede:
[Wray] said there are also elevated fears about a coordinated terror attack in a public place, a prospect that for the last decade has been seen by intelligence officials as extremely remote.
“We are increasingly concerned [about] the potential for some kind of coordinated attack here in the homeland, which may be not that different from what you saw against the concert hall in Russia a few weeks ago from ISIS-K,” he said.
That should have been the biggest news of the article but they only included these two little paragraphs about it.
Wray also added that they fear China is planting ‘cyber bombs’ to use against the American public in the event that America tries to defend Taiwan against their invasion:
Wray also restated his assessments that China, Russia and Iran may seek to interfere in the upcoming election, and that all three countries continue to conduct cyber espionage and offensive cyber operations against the United States. China, he said, is positioning itself to be able to knock out critical infrastructure in the event the U.S. seeks to defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion.
Chinese cyber bombs planted on critical infrastructure, he said, “would allow them to induce panic or break America’s will to resist in something like, let’s say, an effort by the Chinese government to move on Taiwan.”
