Wray gives details on rally gunman's online searches

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : He noted the bureau saw indications that Crooks was interested in public figures -- besides Trump, Crooks also had photos on his phone of Democratic President Joe Biden and other prominent people -- and in the days before the shooting appeared particularly consumed by Trump and the Butler rally.
49% : The use of the drone, which along with a controller were recovered from Crooks' car, so close to the rally site just hours before Trump took the stage, adds to the questions about the security lapses that preceded the shooting.
48% : Crooks attracted law enforcement scrutiny because of odd behavior around the edges of the event, including shouldering a backpack and peering into the lens of a range finder toward the rooftops behind the stage where Trump would stand within the hour.
40% : The agency built a detailed time-line of Crooks' movements and online activity, but the precise motive -- or why Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, was singled out -- remains elusive, Wray said.
39% : After Wray testified that his interactions were "completely professional," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that the FBI director he appointed in 2017 "has to resign, and NOW, for LYING TO CONGRESS!"The FBI so far avoided the same level of scrutiny over the shooting directed at the Secret Service over security failures, culminating Tuesday in the resignation of its director, Kimberly Cheatle.
9% : That reflects the lingering perception among some GOP lawmakers that the FBI and Justice Department in the Biden administration became politicized against Trump, something Wray consistently denied.
