FBI Report on Jan 6th.
- Thread starter Arcola
- Start date
Just Google the Jan. 6th FBI report. I will admit it reads both ways. They said no FBI was on hand but then state 20 some were their on their own.
Informants who showed up with the group they were informing on? That doesn't seem terribly conspiratorial.
From the BBC:
The report, from the justice department's Office of the Inspector General, found that 26 "confidential human sources" - or paid informants - were in Washington on the day of the riot.
Three of them had been tasked with gathering information for domestic terrorism cases who might have been going to the rallies on 6 January, one of whom entered the Capitol building.
The remaining 23 had not been directed to be in the area and did so on their own initiative.
At the time, some were in contact or travelling with members of far-right groups including the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.
Of the 26 in total, four confidential sources entered the Capitol during the riot. Another 13 entered the restricted area around the Capitol - a security perimeter established in preparation for election certification on 6 January.
None of the confidential sources who entered the Capitol or its environs were among those criminally charged with trespassing.
Confidential sources are different from full-time, trained undercover agents.
The justice department defines these sources as those "believed to be providing useful and credible information to the FBI" who warrant confidential handling.
So my question here is this: What's the actual problem?
Didn't you listen to the White Album, man? It's a gubmint conspiracy!!!!
What would you suggest an informant do in this situation, exactly? Stay home?
What would you suggest the FBI do? Alert all the groups it is investigating that they have informers in their midst?
So now you have groups who know they are being infiltrated and prime suspects for that infiltration that didn't go to the Capitol. Is that they best way to run intelligence?
I am not saying that at all.
I do find in convenient that the FBI can say they had no one working but in fact they had paid informants. And yes I believe they were doing more than informing.
Both parties at one time or another has used the feds to weaponize politics. This time it was the democrats.
Sorry but I cannot believe it just because the mainstream media gives me a report that says the FBI did not have employees on site but they did have informants show up without permission.
“As always, should you or any of your IM force be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. Good luck, Jim. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds".😁
The take away is if they're an informant they almost had to go so they didn't blow their cover.
They act like the informants are the ones who lead the attack and the rest of the crew were innocent bystanders.
You could go to the government sources that say that, but I would imagine you wouldn't trust that either. And maybe for good reason, as healthy skepticism is probably warranted when dealing with government reports.
The FBI is barely even mentioned in the full report. 81 pages and only a few passing references of little significance to the agents/informants issue. Wouldn't you think, in a report authored by the Republican-led committee, it would be noteworthy, at least, to include something about all the informants being present and certainly if they discovered agents present? Or maybe the congresspeople who wrote the report knew it would play well politically to mention the informants' presence, but otherwise they had nothing to do with anything that happened that day?
That's how the politics game is played, my man. Try to make sure whatever report they are writing to injure their political opponents is worded in such a way that they can't be sued for defamation, but then heavily insinuate nefarious conduct outside of the report details that aren't or at least haven't been proven to be nefarious.
FBI needs shut down. Total waste of tax dollarsList of FBI controversies - Wikipedia

So defund the police, then? I'm beginning to think you're a closet liberal.
