Supplemental Info:
Director Wray's comments came during ongoing oversight hearings by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C) asked Wray to describe the current "threat matrix" facing the United States.
Wray:
"What I would say that is unique about the environment that we're in right now in my career is that while there may have been times over the years where individual threats could have been higher here or there than where they may be right now, I've never seen a time where all the threats or so many of the threats are all elevated, all at exactly the same time."
Graham:
"So, blinking red lights analogy about 9/11 — all the lights were blinking red before 9/11, apparently. Obviously, all of us missed it. Would you say there's multiple blinking red lights out there?"
Wray:
"I see blinking red lights everywhere."
