FBI Director Christopher Wray tells Fox’s @BretBaier...

The origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan. Let me step back for a second. The FBI has folks — agents, professionals, analysts, virologists, microbiologists, 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 — some bad guys, a hostile nation-state a terrorist or criminal — the threats that 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. I should add that our work related to this continues. And there are not a whole lot of details I can share that aren’t classified. I will just make the observation that the Chinese government, it seems to me, has been doing its best to try to thwart and obfuscate the work that we’re doing.

    Anyone who believes this for even 30 seconds would’ve believed that Iraq had WMDs and should be supremely embarrassed because this is way fucking dumber

      Americans are dumb, more so the Fox News watching ones, they'll believe this like they did Iraq WMDs. This ramping up of Anti-China propaganda is really terrifying. Fighting Russia in a proxy war is one thing, but a direct confrontation with China is WW3 material. US is a dying empire that is willing to take the world with them.
