Three years after January 6, questions persist about whether the day was a setup. Congressman Clay Higgins pressed FBI Director Chris Wray about confidential human sources; Wray declined to reveal specifics. Higgins says, 'we do have a great deal of evidence compiled' showing 'deep state actors within the federal government to set the stage for what happened in J4,5,6' and that 'FBI assets dressed as Trump supporters inside the Capitol prior to the doors being opened' with 'well over 200' assets in the crowd, outside and inside guiding entry. He argues the operation aimed to 'destroy the entire mega movement' and to entrap Americans, linking it to a 'compromised election cycle' in 2020. He notes that 'some Republicans cheered the murder of Ashley Babbitt.' He calls for unredacted 'digital files from J4,5,6' to be released to the public, proposing to crowdsource '80,000 hours' of evidence and pursue criminal referrals.

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.

Three years after the events of January 6th, Congressman Clay Higgins questions FBI Director Christopher Wray about the presence of FBI assets among the protesters. Higgins believes there is evidence that FBI assets dressed as Trump supporters were inside the Capitol before the doors were opened, suggesting entrapment. He claims that the FBI infiltrated online groups and planted seeds of radical actions. Higgins estimates that there were over 200 FBI assets involved in the events of January 6th. He also criticizes the shooting of Ashley Babbitt and expresses his hope that the evidence will be released to the public.

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.

Three years after January 6, Rep. Clay Higgins says questions about a setup and that evidence "points to luring Americans to Washington into a trap." He cites a Homeland Security hearing clip: "Did the FBI have confidential human sources embedded within the January 6 protesters...?" Higgins asserts: "there were FBI assets dressed as Trump supporters inside the Capitol on January 6 prior to the doors being opened" and that "they waved those guys in." He says "a faction within the FBI and within our intelligence services" coordinated with "the most extreme liberal factions within a Democrat party" and that there were "well over 200" FBI assets. He calls for releasing "the j four, five, and six" "unredacted digital files" so the public can review "eighty thousand hours of digital evidence" and promises "criminal referrals." He closes: "Free speech is bigger than any one person or any one organization."

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.

Three years after January 6th, questions remain about the events of that day and the FBI's involvement. Congressman Clay Higgins directly questioned FBI Director Chris Wray about whether FBI assets were embedded among the protesters. Higgins asserts that evidence suggests the FBI had undercover agents dressed as Trump supporters inside the Capitol before the doors opened, potentially entrapping attendees. He estimates over 200 FBI assets were present, influencing the crowd and orchestrating actions leading to arrests. Higgins emphasizes the need for transparency and urges Speaker Mike Johnson to release all digital evidence from that day to the public, believing it will reveal the truth about the government's role in the events of January 6th.

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."

The congressman then brings up two buses that arrived at Union Station on January 6th, claiming they were filled with FBI informants dressed as Trump supporters. The chairman interrupts the congressman's questioning, and the congressman expresses frustration at not being allowed to finish his statement.

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.

The speaker questions Director Wray about the FBI's involvement on January 6th. The speaker references a previous exchange where he asked if the FBI had confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters inside the Capitol on January 6th prior to the doors being opened. He claims Director Wray did not provide a definitive answer. The speaker states that Stephen D'Artano testified that he was aware FBI informants would attend the "Stop the Steal" rally. The speaker asks Wray to confirm the FBI had confidential human sources at the rally. Wray declines to comment on the use of confidential human sources. The speaker asks if an FBI informant marched to the Capitol with Proud Boys members on January 6th and communicated with his handler while people were entering the Capitol. Wray denies the violence at the Capitol was orchestrated by FBI sources or agents. The speaker then asks if Wray is familiar with "ghost vehicles" or "ghost buses," claiming they are common in law enforcement and used for secret purposes. The speaker presents evidence of two white buses that arrived at Union Station on January 6th, alleging they were filled with FBI informants dressed as Trump supporters. He accuses Wray of deploying these informants onto the Capitol on January 6th.

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."

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.

Three years after January 6th, questions remain about the events of that day and the FBI's involvement. Congressman Clay Higgins directly questioned FBI Director Christopher Wray about whether the FBI had undercover agents among the protesters, particularly inside the Capitol. Higgins asserts that evidence suggests FBI assets were present, potentially instigating actions that led to the chaos. He believes there were over 200 FBI agents involved, manipulating the situation to entrap Trump supporters. Higgins emphasizes the need for transparency and calls for the release of all digital evidence from January 6th to the public, asserting that the American people deserve to know the truth about what transpired. He expresses concern over the implications of government actions and the need for accountability within federal agencies.

Three years after January 6, the speaker questions whether federal agencies played a role in staging the events. In a 2022 Homeland Security hearing, Congressman Clay Higgins asked: 'Did the FBI have confidential human sources embedded within the January 6 protesters and dressed as Trump supporters inside the Capitol prior to the doors being opened?' The FBI director said such claims are 'categorically false.' Higgins says evidence suggests 'deep state actors within the federal government' lured Americans to Washington and 'set the stage for j four, five, and six'—with 'well over 200' FBI assets in the crowd and inside the Capitol who 'led' protesters inside. He argues the objective was to 'destroy the entire mega movement' and to keep Trump out of office. He calls for releasing unredacted 'digital files from j four, five, and six' and cites those who 'cheered the murder of Ashley Babbitt.'

Michael Horowitz, the DOJ's inspector general, testified on Capitol Hill regarding January 6th. He was asked about the presence of confidential human sources, or CHS, on the Capitol grounds that day. Horowitz stated that the forthcoming report would include information on this matter. When asked if there were more than 100 CHS present, he declined to answer due to the draft status and classification review. He also said he didn't recall how many CHS were reimbursed for travel. This response implied that there were indeed confidential human sources involved on January 6th. Questions remain about their level of involvement and whether they induced anyone to commit crimes.

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.

The speaker questions Director Wray about the FBI's involvement on January 6th. They reference a previous exchange where Wray was asked if the FBI had confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters inside the Capitol, to which Wray was hesitant to answer. The speaker claims the FBI had informants at the "Stop the Steal" rally and that an FBI informant marched to the Capitol with Proud Boys members on January 6th, communicating with their handler. Wray denies that the violence at the Capitol was orchestrated by FBI sources or agents. The speaker then asks about "ghost buses," vehicles used for secret purposes, claiming that two such buses arrived at Union Station on January 6th, filled with FBI informants dressed as Trump supporters. The speaker alleges these buses deployed people onto the Capitol on January 6th.

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 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.

The Justice Department released a report revealing the FBI had 26 confidential human sources in DC on January 6th, with four entering the Capitol and 13 entering the restricted area. Questions arose regarding the discrepancy between this information and previous testimonies given under oath by FBI Director Ray. Concerns were raised about whether these sources instigated events, similar to the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot. The media is accused of downplaying the report's significance, while Republicans claim the events were an inside job. The report's implications for January 6th defendants are discussed, particularly regarding potential pardons and whether confidential human sources are exempt from prosecution. Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley questioned why the confidential human sources who entered the capital were not charged. Trump may pardon January 6th defendants. Tulsi Ganford may become the next DNI.
