Questioner presses witness on whether Renee Good is a "domestic terrorist"

Questioner pressed a witness during the session, asking, "Is Renee Good, a domestic terrorist in your view?" The witness declined to make that determination and repeatedly urged waiting for the investigation to finish before assigning motives or labels.

The witness said, "I've been very clear on this point when that incident occurred as well as, the Preti incident as well as to let that investigation play out before any comments are made about the motives of any of the individuals involved, including the law enforcement officers." The witness added, "I don't I'm not at the department. I don't know what the information she had. If if you're asking me my opinion, I would have wait till the investigation play out before I rendered any decision."

The questioner pushed back, saying it was wrong to label the people involved "domestic terrorists" and that leaving the possibility open amounted to taking a position. The questioner said, "Their parents and their loved ones deserve an apology from the US government, and I found it outrageous that you're taking the position that you are here today. By by taking no position and leaving on the table the notion that they're domestic terrorists, you are taking a position." The questioner also noted that "the country has seen the videos," arguing the public evidence warranted a firmer stance.

The exchange in the transcript shows the witness repeatedly declining to assign a label pending investigatory findings and the questioner repeatedly urging apology and clarity. The transcript records no formal finding, vote, or other procedural action following this exchange.
