What needs to be established is whether the FBI and government agents used undercover operatives on January 6th. If evidence shows they had informants, it undermines the insurrection narrative. There’s reasonable suspicion of federal involvement, especially with video evidence of a person directing people into the building and the case of Ray Epps, who was briefly on the FBI's most wanted list. Two significant points support this: Epps’ sudden removal from the list suggests he may have been an informant, and FBI official Jill Sanborn's refusal to answer whether federal agents were involved indicates possible involvement. Her silence implies that confirming their presence could compromise ongoing operations.

The discussion outlines that a year before January 6, the FBI conducted a planning exercise and had specific plans for the event. Speaker 1 states there was a tabletop exercise run in Boston in August 2020, five months before January 6. The memos that Kash Patel turned over to Congress, recently provided at the request of Chairman Barry Lautomilk, show that the FBI knew there was a strong possibility of a hanging or contested election, with both sides agitated and likely to escalate to violence. The memos also reveal that the FBI devised specific strategies, including embedding informants inside groups where political violence or agitation might occur. According to Speaker 1, the FBI had two dozen informants on the ground on the morning of January 6, and recommended mass prosecutions, even for the most minor crimes—described as exactly what the FBI did after January 6. Speaker 1 emphasizes two major points about the strategy: first, that the strategy was conceived months in advance and was carried out; second, that it represented a double standard because it differed from how political violence at BLM protests and far-left actions in 2020 were handled. The claim is that informants were embedded in both left- and right-wing groups, including Antifa and right-wing groups, and that intelligence suggested a bad episode would occur. They allege that, according to Chairman Barry Lautemux, warnings from informants were strong, but Capitol stakeholders in Washington, DC, did not receive those warnings or pass them along. This, they argue, shows two failed examples of the FBI under the Chris Ray era, with foreknowledge of events but actions that hurt conservatives while not alerting liberals or those who could have prevented violence. The documents are presented as now public, described as stunning by the speakers. Regarding whether there was any briefing to higher-level officials, Speaker 0 asks if there is evidence that Bill Barr, Chris Ray, or staff at the White House were briefed after the tabletop exercise and plan development. Speaker 1 responds that there is no indication of briefing the attorney general or other senior officials. There is no documentation showing that Barr, the Homeland Security Department, the Capitol Police, or the Washington, DC Metropolitan Police were alerted. The speaker notes that this suggests an insular FBI operation, drawing a comparison to pre-nine-eleven dynamics, implying systemic issues within the FBI.

Over the past 3 years, Representative questioned FBI Director Wray and Attorney General Garland about federal assets at the Capitol on January 6th, but received no answers. The Inspector General announced a review of the DOJ response in 2021, paused it due to ongoing criminal cases, and reinitiated it last year. The report will include information on the number of confidential human sources operating on Capitol grounds on January 6th, but the exact number is not available yet due to the draft form and classification review. The report's release is not expected before the election, and possibly not before the next inauguration. The report will expose the presence of confidential human sources at the Capitol, and whether DOJ CHS protocols were followed. Representative inquired about the failed FBI investigation of the January 6th pipe bomb, citing lost information, deleted Secret Service texts, and corrupted cell phone data. The FBI allegedly lacks video footage of the DNC from January 6th. The Inspector General couldn't rule out the involvement of confidential human sources in the pipe bomb incident.

During a hearing, a congressman questions FBI Director Ray about the FBI's involvement in the events leading up to and on January 6th. The congressman asks if the FBI had confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters inside the Capitol on January 6th, but Director Ray avoids giving a direct answer. The congressman also mentions evidence suggesting FBI informants attended the "Stop the Steal" rally on January 6th. Director Ray denies that the violence on January 6th was orchestrated by FBI sources or agents. The congressman then brings up two white buses that arrived at Union Station on January 6th, suggesting they were filled with FBI informants disguised as Trump supporters. The congressman's time is cut short, and the hearing continues.

A recent report reveals that 26 confidential human sources were present during the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Of these, three were authorized by the FBI to monitor the event due to concerns over domestic terrorism. One of these sources entered the Capitol, while two others accessed restricted areas. The FBI did not authorize any sources to enter the building. Additionally, 23 other sources were present independently but had previously collaborated with the FBI. Notably, none of the sources who entered restricted areas were prosecuted, aligning with the DC US attorney's office's approach of not charging individuals for merely entering restricted grounds. Outgoing FBI director Christopher Wray has faced scrutiny regarding the agency's role on that day, emphasizing that the violence was not orchestrated by FBI sources or agents. Further information is anticipated from Capitol Hill and the White House.

The discussion centers on whether January 6 violence was an FBI operation. Speaker 0 denies that the violence at the Capitol was part of any operation orchestrated by FBI sources or agents. Speaker 1 asks if the FBI had an engagement with embedded agents; Speaker 0 repeats denial. Several speakers challenge the lack of answers about how many agents were present, suggesting informants were involved. Speaker 5 says "attorneys for the Proud Boys revealed at least 40 undercover informants were doing surveillance on the defendants that day, including 13 working in the DC Metro Police." Plainclothes MPD officers on Capitol Grounds are referenced. Speaker 6 says he provided high-definition video to lawmakers and accuses the FBI/DOJ of ignoring it; he describes an open window and an operative pulling it. Speaker 7 concludes: "it was the FBI and not Trump supporters who led the insurrection of the Capitol on January 6."

We had full cooperation from the Capitol Police and the speaker's office, but we couldn't show that FBI agents were present in the crowd, which the FBI has admitted. Ray Epps was not a civilian; he encouraged violence, yet the January 6th committee defended him. There were clear signs of federal involvement, like individuals with earpieces breaking things and then fleeing. I didn't want to wrongly label anyone as an agent without proof. The recent Proud Boys trial revealed an FBI agent lied and hid evidence. We need crowdsourcing for the footage, which should be public. The narrative around January 6th has been misrepresented; it was a violent political demonstration, not a deadly insurrection. Intelligence about the event was withheld from Capitol Police, suggesting a deliberate attempt to create chaos for political gain.

The FBI had significant involvement in the events of January 6, with over 200 agents embedded within the crowd, including inside the Capitol, disguised as Trump supporters. They infiltrated online chat groups and social media platforms discussing opposition to COVID measures. Analysis of communications within these groups reveals that suggestions for potential violence or an occupation of the Capitol originated from these FBI agents. This indicates that the FBI's involvement extended well beyond January 6, influencing events in the preceding weeks and months. Additionally, recently released footage shows Capitol Police welcoming people into the Capitol, contradicting the initial narrative of an insurrection.

I received a call from someone in Great Britain asking about federal agents in the crowd. I denied their presence, assuming I would have been informed. However, later I learned that there were indeed federal agents present. This was confirmed by Jill Sanborn's testimony in 2021, where she mentioned the FBI taking overt action to prevent certain individuals from attending the January 6th event in DC. In February 2023, a GAO report revealed that the FBI was tracking 4 domestic terrorists on January 3rd, which increased to 18 or 19 by January 6th. It's reasonable to have resources and multiple agents for such a situation, but it's concerning that this information wasn't shared in intelligence.

They say the FBI anticipated consternation around the election and actually prepared plans for January 6. They held a tabletop exercise in Boston in August 2020, five months before January 6. Kash Patel recently turned over memos to Congress at the request of Chairman Barry Lautenberg (Lautomilk) of the J-six investigation. The memos show the FBI knew there was a strong possibility of a hanging or contested election, with both sides agitated and likely to escalate to violence. They devised specific strategies, including embedding informants inside the groups where political violence or agitation might occur. They say the FBI had two dozen informants on the ground the morning of January 6. They also recommended mass prosecutions, even for the most minor crimes, which is described as exactly what the FBI did after January 6. Two big takeaways: the strategy appears to have been hatched months before and then carried out, and it involved a clear double standard compared to the political violence by the left in 2020. The FBI allegedly embedded informants in a broad range of groups, including Antifa and right-wing groups, and gathered intelligence suggesting a bad episode would occur. Barry Lautemux reportedly stated that while the warnings from informants were strong, the preparations of warnings to the brethren of the Capitol in Washington, DC did not exist. In other words, warnings were not passed along. The claim is that two failed examples of the Chris era of the FBI show that, knowing something was going to happen, they implemented a strategy that hurt conservatives but not liberals and did not warn the people who could actually prevent the violence. This is described as the legacy of the Chris Ray FBI, now laid open in documents for all to see. The question is whether any part shows that Bill Barr or Chris Ray briefed the president or his staff, or senior White House officials after the tabletop exercise and the development of the informant plan. The answer given is no: there is no documentation showing that the attorney general, Barr or other brass were briefed, and no mention that the White House, Homeland Security Department, Capitol Police, or Washington DC Metropolitan Police were alerted. The characterization is that the FBI remained insular, echoing the same “diseases” seen before nine-eleven.

According to the speaker, there were undercover FBI agents present at the January 6th event, as confirmed by the FBI Director's testimony. The speaker initially didn't know about their presence but later learned that there were allegedly 18 operatives in the crowd. This was unusual compared to past events where intelligence was handled differently. The speaker also mentioned that Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) personnel were likely present as well. The speaker described the number of law enforcement and intelligence agencies in the crowd as significant and unprecedented, especially for a hate event in Washington DC.

During a hearing, the focus was FBI involvement before and on January 6. "Did you have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters positioned inside the capital on January 6 prior to the doors being opened?" The director replied, "I have to be very careful of what I say," and the questioner urged, "it should be a no." A year later, "We can't get a straight answer" about FBI presence in the months before and on January 6. "Steven Dortano ... testified ... he was aware the FBI informants would attend the Stop the Steal rally," and "You confirmed that the FBI had confidential human sources at the Stop the Steal rally on January 6 here in DC, sir?" The director said, "I'm not gonna get into where we have or have not used confidential human sources." "Earlier this year, an FBI informant ... marched to the US capital ... he was communicating with his FBI handler while people were entering The US Capitol." "If you are asking whether the violence ... was part of some operation orchestrated by FBI sources and or agents, the answer is emphatically false." "These two buses ... completely white ... were the first to arrive at Union Station." "These buses are nefarious in nature and were filled with FBI informants dressed as Trump supporters."

During a congressional hearing, DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz admitted the FBI had confidential human sources (CHS) embedded in the January 6th Capitol crowd. GOP Rep. Thomas Massie questioned why it's taken almost 4 years to reveal the number of informants involved, but Horowitz declined to provide a specific number, promising a future report. Massie inquired if informants who entered the Capitol would be prosecuted like other J6 participants and if any were compensated for travel. Fox News suggested the presence of FBI informants was a significant development. Stephen Dantuono, former head of the FBI's Washington DC field office, previously stated the field office had CHS embedded in the J6 crowd and that informants from other field offices were also present. Rep. Clay Higgins claimed busloads of FBI moles were sent to DC on January 6th. The J6 pipe bomb suspect may also have been a federal government asset.

A recent report reveals that on January 6, 2021, there were 26 confidential human sources present at the Capitol. Of these, three were authorized by the FBI to monitor concerns related to domestic terrorism. One source entered the Capitol, while two accessed restricted areas, but the FBI did not authorize these actions. The remaining 23 sources were there independently, having previously collaborated with the FBI but not specifically for the January 6 rally. Notably, none of the sources who entered restricted areas faced prosecution, aligning with the DC US attorney's office's approach of not charging individuals whose only offense was entering restricted grounds. Outgoing FBI director Christopher Wray has consistently denied that the violence was orchestrated by FBI agents or sources.

Speaker 0: Some Republicans argue that Nancy Pelosi staged January 6 and the select committee covered it up. Based on what you know, what are the verifiable events in the lead ups? Speaker 1: I was DoD chief of staff on January 6. We deployed National Guard; in the Oval Office the president, president Trump at the time, authorized pursuant to law up to 10 to 20,000 National Guard. We took that authorization because the law's second part required a request from who? Nancy Pelosi and the Metropolitan Police and the mayor at the time. And what did they say? No. And remember what happened for the next two years? They say, Oh, Kash is lying. Trump’s lying. And what do we find? Letters of their declination of the National Guard refusing to have the National Guard show up. Nancy Pelosi and her team were busy filming a movie on January 6 while this so caused chaos around her was going down. If she had just look at it this way. If she had said yes to the National Guard and we had 10,000 uniformed military officers establish a secure perimeter, do you think January 6 would have gone differently? Speaker 0: It is intriguing that 02/1950 FBI plain clothed agents were inside the Capitol on January 6. Speaker 1: This is a great example of the president's initiative to solve all the answers on January 6, and it's another example of our transparency efforts. Pursuant to the president, we investigated the matter and found out why FBI agents were placed there in the first place. And it turns out, we found documentation and witnesses and whistleblowers that said we were forced to go there to do riot control. Armstrong, do you know what the FBI does not do ever? Riot control. Speaker 0: And you believe them? That's their word, not mine.

A congressman questioned Director Wray about the FBI's involvement on January 6th. He referenced a previous exchange where he asked if the FBI had confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters inside the Capitol, to which he felt he did not receive a straight answer. The congressman stated Steven Dortano testified that he was aware FBI informants would attend the Stop the Steal rally. Wray declined to comment on the use of confidential human sources. The congressman then asked about an FBI informant who reportedly marched to the Capitol with Proud Boys members and communicated with his handler. Wray denied that the violence at the Capitol was orchestrated by FBI sources or agents. The congressman inquired about "ghost buses," claiming two white buses were the first to arrive at Union Station on January 6th and were filled with FBI informants dressed as Trump supporters. The chairman noted the congressman's time had expired.

The congressman's time is cut short, and the hearing continues.

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz revealed that 26 confidential human sources (CHS) were present in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021. While four entered the Capitol and 13 accessed restricted areas, none were prosecuted for their actions. The investigation found that the FBI had not deployed undercover agents and that most informants were not tasked by the FBI to be in D.C. However, the FBI did take steps to prepare for the event, including identifying potential domestic terrorists. The report noted that the FBI should have gathered intelligence from informants prior to January 6, a step deemed crucial by the FBI's deputy director. The FBI disagreed with some findings but acknowledged the need to improve its preparation processes for domestic security events.

During a hearing, a congressman questions Director Rick about the FBI's involvement in the events leading up to and on January 6th. The congressman asks if the FBI had confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters inside the Capitol on January 6th, but Director Rick avoids giving a direct answer. The congressman also mentions evidence suggesting FBI informants attended the Stop the Steal rally on January 6th. Director Rick denies that the violence on January 6th was orchestrated by FBI sources or agents. The congressman then brings up two white buses that arrived at Union Station on January 6th, suggesting they were filled with FBI informants disguised as Trump supporters. The chairman interrupts the congressman's questioning, and the congressman objects to his question being closed. The congressman concludes by saying that their day is coming.

There is reasonable suspicion that federal agents were involved in the January 6th events, supported by a video showing an individual with an earpiece directing people into the building. Additionally, Ray Epps was briefly on the FBI's most wanted list, raising questions about his status as either deceased or an informant. Under congressional testimony, Jill Sanborn, head of the FBI Counterintelligence Division, was asked about federal agents' involvement and stated she couldn't answer at that time. This evasiveness suggests a potential cover-up, as a definitive "no" would have been expected if there were no agents involved.

The FBI had over 200 agents embedded in the crowd on January 6th, some even posing as Trump supporters. They infiltrated online groups discussing COVID restrictions, leading discussions of violence. Capitol Police were seen welcoming people into the Capitol, contradicting the insurrection narrative.

The speaker questions why the FBI didn't inform cabinet secretaries about potential threats on January 6th. They criticize the lack of security measures at the Capitol and mention offering National Guard support, which was declined. They believe better information sharing could have prevented the events. The speaker emphasizes that protecting the Capitol is a law enforcement responsibility, not a military one, and suggests cooperation between agencies. They imply political reasons for the lack of action.

We had cooperation from the Capitol Police and the speaker's office, but we couldn't show that FBI agents were in the crowd, which they admitted. Ray Epps was not just a civilian; he encouraged violence, yet the January 6th committee defended him. There were clear signs of federal involvement, but I didn't want to wrongly accuse anyone. The recent Proud Boys trial revealed an FBI agent lied and hid evidence, raising questions about their role. We need to crowdsource the footage, as it's publicly owned. The claims about January 6th being a violent insurrection are misleading; it was a political demonstration among many that year. Intelligence about potential violence was withheld from Capitol Police, suggesting a deliberate attempt to create chaos and discredit a political party.

The speaker questions witnesses about the presence and activities of federal agents or assets during the January 6th Capitol riot. One witness states they do not know if any federal agents or assets were present on January 5th or 6th, whether they agitated the crowd, or whether any entered the Capitol. The speaker suggests this may be perjury, noting the witness has had two years to find out. The speaker also asks about confidential human sources and the erection of gallows, claiming FBI Director Wray and Attorney General Garland have stonewalled inquiries. Another witness confirms their report will include information about confidential human sources operating on Capitol grounds on January 6th, but cannot provide a number. The report is in draft form and requires classification review, making its release before the upcoming election unlikely. The report will address whether confidential human sources followed DOJ protocols and include information about travel reimbursements. The speaker expresses frustration with the delay and lack of transparency.

Concerns about federal agents' presence on January 6 were raised, but there were no definitive answers regarding their involvement. One individual stated they had no personal knowledge of any agents present or their actions. Questions about confidential human sources from the FBI at the Capitol remain unanswered, with an upcoming report expected to provide some clarity. However, the report is still in draft form and undergoing classification review, making it uncertain if it will be released before the upcoming election. There is a suggestion that if any agents were present and broke the law, they should have followed established protocols, but details about reimbursements and specific actions remain unclear. Frustration was expressed over the lack of transparency and timely information from the FBI and DOJ.
