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.

Multiple undercover agents and informants have been involved in various incidents throughout history. For example, in Michigan, there were more informants and agents than actual kidnappers in a right-wing militia plot. The FBI has also infiltrated left-wing groups like Occupied Cleveland. On January 6th, a man named Ray Epps, who was seen leading the charge into the Capitol, has raised suspicions of being an informant. Footage shows him pushing a large MAGA sign towards police, while others who touched the sign were arrested and charged. The Gateway Pundit, an online news site, has been investigating these incidents and believes that the government and various agencies were involved in the violence that day.

The January 6th events at the US Capitol are described as disgraceful and a deliberate assault on democracy. Bobby Powell, a retired radio journalist, claims to have video evidence of provocateurs or suspicious actors present at the Capitol. Powell describes witnessing a man removing a window and encouraging others to enter, as well as another man pushing people inside while yelling, "hold the line." He sent the video to the FBI but says the individuals have not been identified. Powell expresses frustration that his evidence and similar findings by attorney Brad Guyer are being ignored by media and politicians. Another speaker claims a group of provocateurs broke away and coordinated the removal of bike racks. They allege that suspicious actors provoked police and removed barriers, creating space for the crowd to enter, suggesting that most people believed they had permission to be there. One speaker claims that the FBI, not Trump supporters, led the insurrection.

Meanwhile, other individuals involved in the Capitol breach have faced harsh sentences, despite being poor or middle-class individuals who were there to protest the election. There is evidence suggesting that undercover law enforcement officers may have encouraged and assisted individuals in entering the Capitol. The investigation into the events of January 6th is ongoing.

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 conversation centers on a set of claims and observations about January 6 that orbit around Sedition Hunters, Ray Epps, and the so-called “Northwest Scaffold Commander.” The speakers discuss and link multiple pieces of information to argue that the FBI and other agencies were paying close attention to, or coordinating with, covert actor networks on that day. - The discussion opens with a reference to a John Solomon article about Sedition Hunters and claims that the FBI and Justice Department paid Sedition Hunters about $150,000 to gather evidence on January 6 protesters to help the FBI make arrests. They note the figure was reported as over $100,000 in some places and $150,000 in a House hearing, and they say the FBI/DOJ paid Sedition Hunters, the SPLC, the ADL, the Atlantic Council, DFR Lab, and Bellingcat for intelligence. - The main focus shifts to a piece titled Meet Ray Epps (December 2021) by the speakers’ interlocutor, where they argue that the “main star of the show” was not Ray Epps, but a different figure labeled Northwest Scaffold Commander (referred to as Scaffold Commander). They emphasize that Sedition Hunters’ archives identified Scaffold Commander as their number-one suspect, although he was not placed on the FBI’s most-wanted list. - They recount how, on January 8, 2021, the FBI’s most-wanted list listed Ray Epps as a top suspect in the case, with public calls for information and a cash reward. By late June 2021, a Phoenix newspaper identified him as “Reyes,” and on July 1, 2021, the FBI removed Epps from the wanted list with no explanation and no arrest. They contrast this with Scaffold Commander, who was never added to the FBI’s public wanted list for identification by the public, despite being the focal point of Sedition Hunters’ investigations. - The speakers describe Scaffold Commander as an older man with glasses, a nerdy mask, and a blue cap, who allegedly directed the breach from the Northwest scaffold overlooking the Capitol. They claim he used a bullhorn to issue commands for approximately 18 minutes to an hour and a half, from 1:00 PM to about 2:30 PM, urging the crowd with phrases like “Move forward,” “Don’t just stand there,” “Help somebody over the wall,” and “We gotta fill up the capital.” - They juxtapose these observations with the chronology of the breach: the first breach around 12:53 PM, the crowd’s advance toward the Capitol, and the moment rioters entered the building. They argue Scaffold Commander acted as a ringleader and that Ray Epps was directly beneath him in the crowd, effectively functioning as an internal participant who helped draw people toward the front. - A key point they stress is that Scaffold Commander’s high perch and commanding role align with a long-cited CIA manual from 1983, Psychological Operations in Guerrilla Warfare, which describes a small cadre of crowd agitators operating from elevated positions to direct slogans and crowd movement. They quote and reference passages describing an “outside commando element” that stays above the crowd to observe and direct a demonstration, using high observation points to shout instructions and guide the crowd’s actions. - The speakers argue that the FBI has not acknowledged Scaffold Commander, has not included him on any public list, and has not publicly solicited identification for him, despite Sedition Hunters’ focus on him as the pivotal organizer. They suggest that internal FBI records, memos, or emails about Scaffold Commander could be highly revealing, potentially showing whether higher-ups instructed not to pursue him. - They conclude by urging the FBI and related investigators to search their internal records for “Northwest Scaffold Commander” and make any relevant documents public, implying that such records could undermine the official narrative of the event. They also frame the existence of an internal, externally guided command structure as a critical piece of the January 6 story that remains underexplored by authorities.

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 feds are entirely uninterested in this guy," "if anyone's a kind of major orchestrator in the first act of this so called breach of the capital, it would be him." "Epps' face was actually one of the first 20 faces that the FBI put on their January 6 most wanted list that anyone in DC would have seen, like, they had the posters everywhere." "Help us identify this man." "And then the Internet being what the Internet is, a remarkable vehicle, identified him within days and then crickets." "The feds weren't interested nothing about him until five months later, they scrubbed his face and name completely from their public database." "And the we were able to interpolate the exact day that they scrubbed it, and just by coincidence happened to be the very day after Revolver News ran an extensive piece on his, former, fellow oath keeper, Stuart Rhodes."

An oath keepers defense attorney filed a motion identifying "80 what he calls suspicious actors and material witnesses" who have not been arrested, charged, or even identified, "identified by somewhat whimsical hashtags that the sedition hunters website assigned to them," concentrated at breach points, including the Columbus doors. He wants to use "facial recognition using the government's own databases because these folks are not listed anywhere," noting prosecutors have offered no comment outside court filings. Some of these unidentified individuals appeared at the first breach and near where Ashley Babbitt was shot. A Michigan radio journalist captured two suspicious actors: one "pulling a large pane of glass out" and another "holding the door open, with a wooden pole," with a vibe of "hold the line" before tear gas. "It was the FBI and not Trump supporters who led the insurrection at 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 in the crowd, which they admitted. Ray Epps was not just a civilian; he encouraged violence and was defended by the January 6th committee. There were clear signs of federal involvement, but I didn't want to wrongly accuse anyone without proof. Recent trials revealed FBI misconduct, including hiding evidence. We need to crowdsource the footage from January 6th, as it belongs to the public. The narrative of a violent insurrection is misleading; it was a political demonstration among many that year. Intelligence about the event was withheld from Capitol Police, suggesting a motive to create a politically damaging situation.

"He is calling for going into the capital the evening before January 6." "And this isn't just a one off, someone some crazy who comes and goes. No." "He goes repeatedly to group after group, redirecting them saying, we need to go into the capital." "on January 6, it's a veritable, where's Waldo? He's everywhere." "twenty seconds before the very first breach of the capital, this individual Ray Epps whispers into someone's ear," "So he's everywhere." "But what it did do is said that Ray Epps was acting alone." "the FBI scrubbed Epps's face from their database, from their public database, just a day after Revolver ran a report on his fellow oath keeper, Stuart Rhodes, who is also unindicted."

Jacob Chansley, also known as the QAnon Shaman, became the face of the January 6th Capitol insurrection. He was sentenced to nearly 4 years in prison. However, internal surveillance videos show that Capitol police officers actually helped Chansley during the attack. They opened doors for him and acted as his tour guides. Chansley even thanked the police in a prayer on the Senate floor. The media coverage portrayed Chansley as a dangerous terrorist, but the videos reveal a different story. The footage challenges the narrative and raises questions about who the real violent extremists are. The Republican Party has shown little interest in defending Chansley, and the incident is not receiving the attention it deserves.

The speaker learned about the Capitol riot on January 6th and was disgusted and afraid. They were afraid of what the rioters might do and that they would not face consequences. The speaker is proud to have joined the effort to hold them accountable. The Justice Department charged over 1,500 people with crimes and obtained convictions against almost 1,300. The speaker states that this ensured the rioters would face accountability and created a public record of the crimes committed that day.

Jacob Chansley, often depicted as a dangerous conspiracy theorist, was sentenced to nearly four years in prison for his role in the January 6th Capitol insurrection. The circumstances of his entry into the Capitol remain disputed, but surveillance footage reveals that Capitol Police did not stop him. Instead, they appeared to assist him, guiding him through the building and even attempting to open locked doors. At least nine officers were in close proximity to Chansley, yet none intervened. Chansley seemed to perceive the Capitol Police as allies, as evidenced by a prayer he offered on the Senate floor thanking them. This contrasts sharply with the narrative surrounding his actions during the insurrection.

Jacob Chansley, a dangerous conspiracy theorist, was sentenced to nearly 4 years in prison for his role in the violent insurrection at the Capitol. While there is dispute over how he gained access to the building, internal surveillance videos clearly show that once inside, Capitol Police officers did not stop him. In fact, they acted as his tour guides, taking him to multiple entrances and even attempting to open locked doors for him. At least 9 officers were within touching distance of Chansley, but none of them tried to slow him down. Chansley saw the Capitol Police as his allies and even thanked them in a prayer on the senate floor. This starkly contrasts with the reality of his actions on January 6th.

The FBI allegedly maintains a list of over 5,000 employees involved in the January 6 investigation, though US Attorneys are reportedly not included. Some individuals are purportedly being treated poorly for performing their assigned duties related to the investigation. These duties involved investigating facts and applying them to legal standards as guided by prosecutors. This work is described as non-political.

The investigation into the January 6th Capitol attack is the largest in FBI history, with over 1,200 charged and many more expected. Citizen investigators, known as sedition hunters, have played a crucial role in identifying rioters, often working late into the night. One participant, Sandy, has helped identify numerous individuals, including Scott Miller, using facial recognition software. The FBI has struggled with the volume of tips and outdated technology, relying on public assistance. Despite the challenges, some within the FBI show reluctance to pursue these cases. Experts stress the need for a broader approach to address the root causes of extremism, emphasizing the importance of education and media literacy. Sandy has faced personal divisions in her family due to differing views on the events of January 6th.

An individual provided video footage purportedly showing two federal agents attacking the Capitol on January 6th. A defense attorney for the Oath Keepers filed a motion identifying 80 "suspicious actors" and "material witnesses" present at the Capitol on January 6th who have not been arrested or charged. These individuals were concentrated in areas where trouble occurred, including the East Side and the Columbus doors. The attorney alleges some worked in tactical two-man teams and were later seen on the terrace. He seeks to identify them using facial recognition and questions if the events were staged. A radio journalist captured footage of two individuals he believed to be government agents. One was encouraging people to enter the Capitol after a window had been broken, even pulling out a pane of glass himself. When he realized he was being filmed, he blamed a protester and shoved him. The other individual was holding open the Columbus doors with a wooden pole and pushing people inside. The journalist who shot the video said the man shoved him. One person claims that the FBI, not Trump supporters, led the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th.

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.

An individual, identified as a CIA contracting officer who formerly worked for the FBI, discussed tactics employed by the Bureau, including near-entrapment, which they call "a nudge," to provoke targeted individuals into acting on impulse. They admitted to using fake social media posts to anger people. The speaker claimed the FBI was "after" Alex Jones and aimed to bankrupt him by encouraging civil lawsuits from the Sandy Hook families. They monitored Jones' followers, looking for potential leads, and were satisfied when the families "shot his legs off" via civil suits. The speaker stated there were approximately 20 undercover FBI agents present at the January 6th Capitol riot to gather information, but their presence was not publicly acknowledged to avoid overstepping bounds.

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.

Intelligence about potential violence was withheld from Capitol Police, suggesting a deliberate attempt to create chaos and discredit a political party.

In the beginning, I would drop my kids off at school and then work late into the night, helping identify individuals involved in the Capitol breach. I’m part of a community known as sedition hunters, where we developed methods and software to track rioters, compiling evidence for the FBI. Despite the FBI charging over 1,200 individuals, citizen sleuths have identified about 1,000 more, highlighting the challenges the FBI faces with outdated technology. This investigation is the largest ever undertaken, yet few know about my involvement. Disinformation has strained my family relationships, leading to divisions that are hard to mend.

Jacob Chansley, a dangerous conspiracy theorist, received a nearly 4-year prison sentence for leading the violent insurrection to overthrow American democracy. There is dispute over how he entered the Capitol building, but internal surveillance videos reveal what happened once he was inside. The footage shows that Capitol Police never stopped Chansley and even acted as his tour guides. They took him to multiple entrances, tried to open locked doors for him, and were within touching distance of him. Chansley saw the police as his allies and thanked them in a prayer on the senate floor. This contrasts with the reality of his actions on January 6th.

The January 6 case involved a significant number of FBI personnel, with estimates suggesting that around three-fourths of the bureau had some involvement. This includes a wide range of cases, from minor misdemeanors to serious charges like seditious conspiracy and assaults on federal officers. Public sentiment generally supports prosecuting those who attacked law enforcement during the riots. The ongoing scrutiny of FBI leadership raises questions about how deeply this will affect the agency's rank and file. Each arrest requires multiple officials, and many individuals contribute to the paperwork and analysis related to these cases.
