All too often, vital electronic evidence has been made unavailable through encryption that doesn't allow for execution of legal process including court-approved search warrants.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
FISA is a powerful tool - and we've got to be sure we're using it properly, at every step in the process. But we couldn't do our jobs without it.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
Our Constitution in many situations rightly demands a warrant or order before we take investigative steps. And the FISC provides that vital, independent oversight.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
FISA is one of the most important investigative tools we've got in preventing our adversaries from harming our country.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
We need to coordinate closely with international partners, right down to tightly-coordinated execution of seizures, searches, and arrests, so that instead of capturing a single criminal, we're taking down an entire enterprise.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
In our country, the vast majority of our critical infrastructure and intellectual property is of course in the hands of the private sector.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
Put plainly, China seems determined to steal its way up the economic ladder, at our expense.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
China has pioneered a societal approach to stealing innovation any way it can, from a wide array of businesses, universities, and organizations.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
Some people are skeptical about the value of indictments where a foreign nation-state actor is involved. But in the case of APT10, the indictments marked an important step in publicly exposing China's continued practice of stealing intellectual property to give Chinese firms an unfair advantage in the marketplace.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
My view is that the cyber threat is bigger than any one government agency - or even the government itself. But the FBI brings a rare combination of scope and scale, experience, and tools to the mix. We investigate criminal activity like intrusions and cyber attacks, but we also investigate national security threats like foreign influence.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
User-controlled default encryption is a real challenge for law enforcement.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
We all want safe, secure, private data, but we also want safe and secure communities. And we can have both. I really do believe that.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
Our work in investigating the Oklahoma City bombing reflected some of the very best the FBI has to offer.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
We've shown that when an attack does happen, our agents and analysts will move heaven and earth to find those responsible.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
We know that terrorism can happen anywhere, at anytime. And we know the best way to prevent an attack is by working together.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
We can't eradicate hate, and we can't wish away evil. But we can continue to stand together on the side of the freedoms we all cherish.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
Whether core al Qaeda or its offshoots like AQAP, ISIS, or the many others - we are working with our partners to find and disrupt them, wherever they are, whether they're plotting attacks on Americans here at home or abroad.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
The men and women of the FBI are deployed around the clock, all over our country and around the world, identifying and disrupting threats, and pursuing those who would do us harm.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
We protect the American people from a staggering range of threats. But make no mistake, securing the homeland against terrorism remains our top priority.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
The FBI's mission is to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution. That mission is both dual and simultaneous - it is not contradictory.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
The FBI holds sacred the rights of individuals to peacefully exercise their First Amendment freedoms.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
Non-violent protests are signs of a healthy democracy, not an ailing one.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
When law enforcement fails to fulfill its most basic duty to protect and serve its citizens, particularly members of a minority community, it not only tarnishes the badge we all wear, but erodes the trust that we in law enforcement have worked so hard to build.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
Where protection of certain sensitive information is well-founded, I remain committed to upholding the laws and longstanding policies governing classification and public release.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
The FBI is a field-based law enforcement organization, and the vast majority of our investigations should continue to be worked by our field offices.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
The FBI relies on FISA every day in national security investigations to prevent terrorists and foreign intelligence services from harming the United States.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
I would argue that in the cyber arena, the need for private sector partnership is higher than really anywhere else of any program we have. So, the reality is we couldn't do what we do without the private sector, and vice versa.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
When you can say, I get up in the morning to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution, it keeps people coming back. And I will stack our workforce up against anybody, anywhere, any day.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
In everything we do, as long as I have anything to say about it, we're going to follow the facts independently, wherever they may lead, to whomever they may lead, no matter who likes it.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
Our mission is simple, but profound - to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution. That mission hasn't changed, and it won't change, not as long as I have anything to say about it.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
I am very committed to the FBI being agile in its tackling of foreign threats. But I believe you can be agile and still scrupulously follow our rules, policies and processes.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
My view is that, if any public official or member of any campaign is contacted by any nation-state or anybody acting on behalf of a nation-state about influencing or interfering with our election, then that is something that the FBI would want to know about.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
There's no shortage of opinions about our agency, just like every other agency up here - and just like the Congress. I'd encourage our folks not to get too hung up on what I consider to be the noise on TV and in social media.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
The FBI that I see is people, decent people, committed to the highest principles of dignity and professionalism and respect... Now do we make mistakes? You bet we make mistakes, just like everybody who's human makes mistakes.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
We, the FBI, don't investigate ideology, no matter how repugnant. When it turns to violence, we're all over it.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
I can't imagine a situation where, as FBI director, I would be giving a press conference on an uncharged individual, much less talking in detail about it.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
We have no information that indicates that Ukraine interfered with the 2016 presidential election.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
The cyber threat has evolved dramatically since I left DOJ in 2005, partly just reflecting how much the digital world has itself evolved over that time. Back then, 'tweeting' was something only birds did.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
We will not stand idly by while any entity - be it a foreign power or corporation - seeks to criminally or unfairly undermine our country's place in the world.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
We take all potential threats to public and private sector systems seriously and will continue to investigate and hold accountable those who pose a threat in cyberspace.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
It takes an incredibly special person to be willing to put his or her life on the line for the community, and we owe it to our law enforcement heroes to do whatever we can to make their work safer.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
I will say that one of the things that hackers, of all shapes and sizes, prize the most in this world is anonymity and stealth and deniability. And by indicting them publicly, among other things, we strip them of that.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
As a profession, we face unlimited threats with limited resources. We face a lack of trust in some of the communities we serve. We face a whole lot of second guessing and criticism about the work we're doing and the way we're doing it.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
We are vested with significant authorities, and it is our obligation as public servants to ensure that these authorities are exercised with objectivity and integrity. Anything less falls short of the FBI's duty to the American people.
Quote by -Christopher A. Wray
America's elections are the foundation of our democracy - so protecting them is a priority for the FBI and our partners.
