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.

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.

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 officers, an act that got others charged with assault. 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.

Why are there still so many facts we don't understand about January 6, and why is the Biden administration preventing us from knowing? The claim they are hiding more than ten thousand hours of surveillance tape is questioned, with Revolver News offering an answer. The government allegedly hiding the identity of many law enforcement officers who participated in the riot, with some named as unindicted co conspirators. Person two and person three are described as organizers, with Caldwell linked to a quick reaction force and not charged. Revolver News says there are upwards of 20 unindicted co conspirators in the Oathkeeper indictments. The piece asserts the insurrection was organized at least in part by government agents. It cites the FBI director's admission of infiltrating dissident groups, contrasts informant roles with paying people to organize violence, and discusses Whitmer and Garland; a former FBI official talks about rounding up dissent.

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 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.

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.

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.

Multiple federal agents and informants have been involved in undercover operations targeting both right-wing and left-wing groups. In the case of the Michigan militia plot to kidnap the governor, there were more informants and undercover agents than actual kidnappers. Similarly, in the Occupy Cleveland case, anarchists were led by an FBI informant. On January 6th, a man named Ray Epps, who was seen leading the crowd and pushing a large MAGA sign, has not been arrested despite others being charged for similar actions. The Gateway Pundit has been covering these incidents and believes that government agents were involved in instigating the violence. The investigation into the events of January 6th is ongoing.

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.

On January 6th, there were over 40,000 hours of surveillance footage from the Capitol that were withheld from the public. The full video record contradicts the claim that it was an insurrection and shows that the majority of people were peaceful and orderly. They were sightseers who believed the election was stolen. The video also reveals that Jacob Chansley, the QAnon Shaman, was not stopped by Capitol police but was actually guided by them. Despite this evidence, Chansley was portrayed as a dangerous extremist in the media. The discrepancy between the media coverage and the video evidence raises questions about who the real violent extremists are.

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.'

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.

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.

Speaker 0 claims to have video footage from January 6th of two federal agents attacking the Capitol. Speaker 0 states they have been trying to get the FBI to investigate for over a year, providing them with twenty-nine minutes of high-definition footage. Speaker 0 says the FBI has not arrested the agents, nor have their images appeared online. Speaker 0 claims the FBI refuses to accept a statement or view video from January 5th, 6th, and 7th. Speaker 1 says the FBI raided them twice, came to their home, and took their phones. Speaker 1 advises Speaker 0 to avoid the FBI if possible.

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 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.

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.

A bipartisan group of citizen investigators, known as sedition hunters, emerged after the January 6th Capitol riot to identify those involved. Sandy, an anonymous member, dedicated countless hours to this effort, using social media and facial recognition software to track down rioters. She helped identify over 100 individuals, including Scott Miller, who has since been arrested. The FBI, overwhelmed by tips from the public, has sought assistance from these citizen sleuths to gather evidence for prosecutions. Despite the challenges, Sandy remains committed to holding people accountable for their actions, even as she faces personal divisions within her family over differing views on the events of that day.

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.
