FBI Dividing Pro-Trump Ralliers Involved in Capitol Breach Into 3 Different Groups: Wray
FBI Director Christopher Wray said the agency is dividing pro-Trump ralliers and those who engaged in rioting during the Capitol breach into three different groups, while suggesting that the majority of protesters on Jan. 6 were peaceful.
Wray, in a Senate hearing this week, suggested that most of the rally-goers on Jan. 6 were peaceful.

“The first group—the largest group, the group that we need to spend the least time talking about—is peaceful, maybe rowdy, protesters, but who weren’t violating the law,” he told lawmakers.

The second group consists of individuals who might have come to the rally to peacefully protest but got caught up in the events of the day.

“A second group that is people who may have come intending to just be part of a peaceful protest, but either got swept up in—in the motive, or emotion, or whatever, engaged in kind of low-level criminal behavior,” Wray remarked, as reported by the Washington Examiner’s Byron York. Crimes include trespassing on Capitol grounds but not actually reaching the building and breaching it.

Describing these individuals as “opportunistic,” Wray noted that breaching the Capitol grounds is “still criminal conduct.”

The third group is the smallest “numerically,” and they “breached the Capitol grounds and engaged in violence against law enforcement, who attempted to disrupt the members of Congress and the conduct of their constitutional responsibilities,” Wray went on to say.
