FBI Director Christopher Wray on Thursday will warn of an "elevated threat" to U.S. public safety and national security while advocating for an increased budget.

"Looking back over my career in law enforcement, I’d be hard-pressed to think of a time where so many threats to our public safety and national security were so elevated all at once," Wray will say to the House Appropriations subcommittee hearing on Thursday afternoon. "But that is the case as I sit here today. This is not a point when we can let up."

Wray will argue at the hearing that the federal agency needs fiscal support to "tackle these threats" to keep American citizens safe.

"This is by no means a time to let up or dial back. This is a time when we need your support the most — we need all the tools, all the people, and all the resources required to tackle these threats and to keep Americans safe," Wray will say.

Prosecute Hillary Clinton for her illegal mail server, and we'll consider it.

The FBI needs to abandon this selective prosecution crap and start using more Grand Juries to make these prosecute / don't prosecute decisions.

...hmm...one way to 'tackle' this problem is to secure the darn border, build a wall and start mass deportation!

Why? When was the last time the FBI did anything to keep anyone safe?
