FBI Director Says They’ve Assessed For Some Time That COVID Came From A Lab Leak

What, exactly, is “assessed for some time”? How long has the FBI thought this? That would be an extremely important time frame, since anyone who said that it came from the Wuhan lab and was then shut down, blocked on social media, and treated like a nutty conspiracy theorist deserves an apology

‘Potential lab incident’: FBI director Wray speaks publicly for 1st time on COVID-19 origin

FBI director Christopher Wray on Tuesday spoke publicly for the first time on the bureau’s assessment that the COVID-19 virus “most likely” originated from a potential lab incident in Wuhan, China.

He also faulted the Chinese government in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier for, he said, trying to thwart the work of U.S. agencies investigating the beginnings of the global pandemic.

“The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan,” he said.

“Let’s step back for a second. You know, the FBI has folks agents, professionals, analysts, virologists, microbiologist, 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,” he said, “some bad guys, a hostile nation state, a terrorist a criminal, the threats that those 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,” he continued. “I should add that, that our work related to this continues. And there are not a whole lot of details I can share that aren’t — aren’t classified,” he told Baier.

The one necessary detail, again, is when this determination was made. What day, month, and year did they come to this finding? Was it recent? Last year? 2021? 2020?
