Now would be a good time for lawmakers to ask FBI Director Wray about the Bureau’s metrics in assessing and responding to left-wing violence vs right-wing violence.

Those metrics would show how politically biased the FBI has become, and how dangerous this is not merely to public confidence in the Bureau, but to the safety of our country.

Lawmakers should ask the FBI how it reacted to protests and violence from the Left and from the Right. FBI should describe the investigative techniques used, what internal classifications the FBI assigned to its investigations (domestic terrorism, criminal, etc.)...

...FBI and other resources (hours, number of personnel, field offices involved) devoted to investigations, numbers of suspects arrested months after the events. Congress should have the FBI provide the number of subpoenas issued, interviews conducted, confidential sources used...

Congress should ask Wray and others how many charges were dropped against Antifa and allies (absolute numbers and percentages) versus charges dropped against those on the Right.

Hint: DOJ dropped many of the very few Portland arrests it made.

Wray should be asked: Did the FBI ever raid an Antifa member's house 3 months after an event and arrest him for trespassing?

Has the FBI ever arrested, and has DOJ ever charged, Antifa and related leftists for trespassing?

Or are such arrests predicated on the suspect's political persuasion?

FBI Assistant Director Jill Sanborn testified to the Senate that the Bureau is making a difference between violent operatives and nonviolent people simply caught up in the January 6 Capitol attack.

Will the latter people be permanently labeled/associated with domestic terrorism?

Answers to these questions will easily show the internal political bias within the FBI, and how the Bureau has strayed from the "integrity" part of its mission.

FBI can fix itself in order not to lose widespread public support, but it's running out of time.
