President Donald Trump on Thursday attacked the Federal Bureau of Investigation after Director Chris Wray testified to Congress.
“We look at antifa as more of an ideology or a movement than an organization,” Wray explained.
MORE: Wray adds that investigations into "violent anarchist extremists…who self-identify with the antifa movement" are "just one part" of investigations into domestic terror, which also includes "racially motivated violent extremists, the militia-types, and others." https://t.co/3aMOL2MZUj

Trump, however, discounted the conclusion of the FBI that Antifa, which is short for anti-fascist, is not an organization.
…And I look at them as a bunch of well funded ANARCHISTS & THUGS who are protected because the Comey/Mueller inspired FBI is simply unable, or unwilling, to find their funding source, and allows them to get away with “murder”. LAW & ORDER! https://t.co/yHLzB0RQ8e

And then he lashed out at the FBI for briefing Congress on Russian election interference meant to help bolster Trump’s re-election, while spreading conspiracy theories about voting by mail.
But Chris, you don’t see any activity from China, even though it is a FAR greater threat than Russia, Russia, Russia. They will both, plus others, be able to interfere in our 2020 Election with our totally vulnerable Unsolicited (Counterfeit?) Ballot Scam. Check it out! https://t.co/mH3vrHWvS8
