I heard that reasoning also, plainclothes FBI for ‘crowd control’ doesn’t sound plausible.

Let’s get more video released, see who was doing what, taking down or removing barricades, that sort of stuff.

^^^^ Sorry I deleted my post, but the clarification by Patel (per the Fox News article) that the plainclothes agents were sent in for crowd control purpose doesn’t pass the smell test, afaic.

FBI would not tie up 274 agents with crowd control. That would have been US Park Police while probably under the command of the US Capital Police.

How does one do crowd control in plainclothes?

Different type of crowd control.

I want to know about the bomber. Wray lied, got it. They were able to identify every trespasser, but the bomber is a mystery?

He used the Sooper Secret Cellphone that no NSA or secret service could possibly track.
Some kind of sooper spy I reckon. They could track everybody but this guy. It’s a real puzzler.

I have stayed quiet on this for quite a while.

I was there on Jan 6, I stayed outside the capitol grounds. Having dealt with pretty much every Federal Agency over 40 years of working as a contractor, it was pretty obvious that the entire deal was a setup. A friend I was with wanted to go join the crowd on the grounds, I talked him out of it, and to this day he says I kept him out of jail.

Walking from the Elipse where Trump spoke to the Capitol, the amount of portable video set up was more than I think I’ve ever seen in one area. Also, the were no porta-potty’s set up anywhere and very few places you could go in to use the facilities. It was all set up to make people as uncomfortable as possible, at least that’s my feeling on it.

I saw barriers taken down by Capitol Police, I saw individuals I know are Federal Agents, not just from the FBI, but other agencies there trying to excite the crowd, not control them.

Watching the response from Capitol Police and DC Police Department was like watching an episode of the Keystone cops. We watched cops run to the crowd, then run the other direction, you would see police cars move towards the Capitol, then turn around and go another direction. The whole thing was an attempt to shut down anyone who supported Trump

Close. In my opinion, it was yet another attempt to shut down President Trump. They wanted a violent insurrection to once and for all “rid themselves of this meddlesome ‘priest’.”

"Kash Patel Addresses Role of Hundreds of FBI Agents Present at J6 Capitol Protests"

https://wltreport.com/2025/09/...-fbi-agents-present/

If this is true (from the article, but quoting Fox News). . .

"The FBI responded on Saturday to a report that 274 plainclothes agents were at the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, clarifying the role of bureau personnel while still blasting former Director Christopher Wray.

While the agents were on hand, they were sent in after the riot had begun to try to control the unruly crowd, officials told Fox News Digital. That is not the proper role of FBI agents, and Wray was not forthcoming about what happened when he testified numerous times on Capitol Hill, Director Kash Patel said.

"Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the riot was declared by Metro Police – something that goes against FBI standards," Patel told Fox News Digital. "This was the failure of a corrupt leadership that lied to Congress and to the American people about what really happened."

He added, "Thanks to agents coming forward, we are now uncovering the truth. We are fully committed to transparency, and justice and accountability continues with this FBI."

There’s no indication any FBI agents were involved in any events related to Trump’s speech on the morning of Jan. 6 at the Ellipse, an FBI official told Fox News Digital, adding that Wray should have disclosed that agents were there when he was asked by congressional leaders."

. . .then FBI Director Patel should have no problem publicly releasing, immediately, ALL of the communications (text, phone, e-mail, etc.) throughout the command structure on the pre-deployment planning / decision making, and the actual "GO" order or orders.

So they created the crimes on so many levels and throw their numbers in our faces. Like Fauci, they are the science.


It's even worse than that. They are also lumping islamist violence into "right wing" because religious extremists are all "right wing". I've heard it multiple times on the lamestream media. After claiming there is far less leftist violence, they casually slip in the phrase "right wing and islamist" violence. I was so mad I started screaming at the TV, I think it was MSNBC (go figure).

So that means violent protests about "Palestine" are "right wing political violence"? 9/11 was "right wing"? Utter insanity. They do anything they can to fake the numbers to fit their narrative.

The peaceful vigils for Charlie Kirk, with no riots, and no retaliation have shown the world how conservatives are and NO ONE can deny it. Imagine if an equivalent left wing personality had been assassinated. I'm not sure who is equivalent, if anyone.

This is from "The Atlantic":

https://www.theatlantic.com/po...ng-terrorism/684323/

"We found that left-wing terrorism has increased since President Donald Trump’s rise to political prominence in 2016. Indeed, 2025 marks the first time in more than 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber those from the far right. Despite its recent increase, however, left-wing terrorism is not nearly as common today as it was in the 1960s and early ’70s. Those years marked the height of groups such as the Weather Underground and the Symbionese Liberation Army, best known for kidnapping the newspaper heiress Patty Hearst. In the ’80s and early ’90s, left-wing terrorism declined while jihadist and right-wing terrorism rose, particularly in the forms of anti-government and white-supremacist violence."

Jihadist and right-wing terrorism. Unbelievable.

Full breakdown of the new January 6th report

- The FBI deployed 26 paid confidential informants in Washington DC on January
- 4 entered the Capitol building during the events
- 13 entered the restricted areas around the Capitol
- This means over a dozen FBI-linked informants were actively in the “riot” or restricted zones
- CHS provided intelligence that Jan 6 “was gonna get a little hairy.” FBI HQ allegedly did nothing to prevent escalation and later claimed otherwise to Congress
- ZERO charges against any of their FBI informants

FBI covered up details before the election, confirmed Director Christopher Wray announced his resignation timing tied to report release

- Media and Democrats pushed the “inside job by Trump” while dismissing FBI and Antifa involvement, despite early knowledge of CHS numbers (THEY KNEW)
- Jan 6 politically benefited Democrats with impeachments, indictments, criminalizing MAGA, Jan 6 Committee focus
- No accountability for uncharged informants despite “greatest attack on democracy since 9/11” rhetoric

- There were allegedly payment made. Congress needs more details on CHS (Confidential Human Source)’s conduct, payments for hotels and more and pre-event activities
- Says the FBI, media, and prior investigations are all not credible

This only means one thing. Democrats used the FBI to stage an insurrection against Donald Trump. They tried to cover their tracks by hiring outside people to be agitators, then have those people they hired immunity against prosecution for doing the same activities they prosecuted Americans for

All to steal the election and rush certification of their stolen election
