What really happened on Capitol Hill on Jan 6?

Entrapment on Capitol Hill: Did the FBI infiltrate and even lead the riot?

Capitol Hill Riot, Jan 6 2021. Congress.

Capitol Hill, January 6

A very strange pattern

Many people are still being held in jail, without bail, five months later, but some of the people who appeared to be the most aggressive activists at Capitol Hill didn’t even get indicted. Were these people legally protected because they were undercover operatives or informants working with the FBI? If so, how much did these actors instigate events and thus entrap genuine protesters?

And if the FBI knew this event was going to happen, on “the most important day ever in Congress”, why didn’t they stop it and let Congress debate the question of whether the election was stolen? Seven US states had sent in dual electors, effectively choosing both Biden and Trump, and a growing number of Senators in five of those states had upped the ante by calling for an official decertification. All that Donald Trump, Rudy Guiliani and 88 State Senators were asking for, was a ten day delay so those key states could consider the new evidence and vote again and choose one set of electors.

Look who benefited from the Capitol Storming?

As reader Chris says:

The last thing genuine Trump supporters, or Republican constitutionalists wanted was to disrupt this critical sitting and the tabling of election fraud evidence.

But, the last thing the SWAMP wanted was the tabling of election fraud evidence.

Revolver takes a close look at the two different types of protestors at Capitol Hill:

Unindicted Co-Conspirators in 1/6 Cases Raise Disturbing Questions of Federal Foreknowledge

Revolver

The first category is the group of mostly harmless tourists who walked through already opened doors and already-removed barricades, and at most were guilty of minor trespassing charges and light property offenses. The second group consists of those who were violent with police officers, broke down barricades, smashed windows, belonged to a “militia” group engaged in military-style planning prior to the event, discussed transporting heavy weaponry, and so forth.

What’s at stake in these investigations:

If it turns out that an extraordinary percentage of the members of these groups involved in planning and executing the Capitol Siege were federal informants or undercover operatives, the implications would be nothing short of staggering. This would be far worse than the already bad situation of the government knowing about the possibility of violence and doing nothing.

Instead, this would imply that elements of the federal government were active instigators in the most egregious and spectacular aspects of 1/6, amounting to a monumental entrapment scheme used as a pretext to imprison otherwise harmless protestors at the Capitol — and in a much larger sense used to frame the entire MAGA movement as potential domestic terrorists.

Must see TV: Tucker Carlson

Bitchute link

Meanwhile the ABC News said nothing, and SBS News told Australians tonight that “White Supremacy” is the single greatest threat the US faces.

There was a practice run three months earlier in Michigan led by the FBI

Remember the strange “Governor Whitmer Kidnapping Plot?” One third of those that Stormed Michigans Capitol turned out to be FBI agents or informants, and many of the people at that storming also came to Capitol Hill on Jan 6th.

…what if we told you that scarcely three months before the 1/6 Capitol Siege, the FBI arrested 14 people for planning to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and overthrow the State Government — and that the alleged conspiracy to overthrow the State government involved storming of the State Capitol?

And what if we told you that of the 14 individuals who allegedly plotted the “kidnapping” and overthrow of the state government, at least five were undercover agents and federal informants? And as if that’s not enough, many of the individuals allegedly involved in this plot appear to belong to the “Three Percenters,” one of the very same militia groups now blamed for storming January 6.

And, as the cherry on top, what if we told you that the director of the Detroit FBI Field Office, who oversaw the infiltration operation of the Michigan Plot, was subsequently granted a highly coincidental promotion to the D.C. office, where he is now the lead FBI agent for all 1/6 cases?

As crazy as it sounds, all of this is true…

What did the FBI know, when did they know it, and were they involved?

  1. Did the FBI infiltrate the militia groups and protesters at Capitol Hill and how many agents were there?
  2. Why are some people who were there being kept in solitary confinement five months later, while others, who appeared to be leaders on the day, are able to go free?  Is it because these people were FBI agents?
  3. Why are federal agencies hiding 10,000 or more hours of security camera footage of what happened on January 6th at Capitol Hill? Including, probably detailed footage of the pipe bomber the FBI supposedly want to catch.
  4. Who killed Ashli Babbit?

January 6 became the reason the Biden government claim they need to use law enforcement to crush anyone who opposes the Biden government.

    This was a well organized deadly conspiracy to overthrow the government. There will be a Congress committee to investigate; the FBI can not be trusted. They will look at why it was deadly, when it killed nobody. They’ll look at the only fire-arm used, a fire extinguisher. They’ll propose a ban on sale of fire extinguishers.

      Indeed. It’s the main reason why Trump had no hope of draining the swamp; it’s just too big and powerful. If he ever becomes POTUS again, he will have to come out hard on everyone and anyone to do with the left side of politics. He will also have to come out with his own law enforcement agency to combat the corrupts ones. He might even have to suspend elections until further notice until he gets the job done as it will take a lot more than 4 years. Of course he will probably still fail for one obvious reason as the evil forces once again resort to the highest crime of the land and knock off yet another POTUS.

        Peter,

        I agree with your comment about Trump. The normal US election is not helping. We are losing in every country. Why? What has changed? Is there any other tactic that we could use?

        I think you are missing the key issue, however. We need to get citizens to wake up and defend our country/democracy/freedom/honesty/truth/science/economies. We are running out of time. Next up will be currency collapses and high unemployment.

        Trump’s ‘problem’ is the US/UK/Aussie/Canadian/Spanish/German/and so on citizens do not ‘understand’ what is happening and has happened. There has been a very successful propaganda campaign (worldwide and each year it has gotten stronger) and take over of companies and institutions.

        The word ‘Swamp’ is obsolete. There has been an obvious, in your face, paradigm change. The world we live in/our governments/institutions/media companies and so on have changed. We are at the end of a process/cold war.

        The Democratic Party of America is not a ‘swamp’. It is organized and spent a billion dollars on the last US election and is busy destroying the US economy and creating strife in the US. There is a lack of urgency/clarity/honesty/understanding in the word ‘Swamp’. The word ‘Swamp’ has been used for generations.

        The term ‘Swamp’ described the old Washington DC which has controlled by special interest groups who controlled the two parties. The special interest groups all want money and favours from the US government. They pay full time lobbyists who ‘help’ write legislation and make campaign contributions to buy influence from the US government.

        There has been a not so sneaky successful organized attack on the US which started with the Obama administration. The objective of the attack was to get control of US institutions like the CDC, FBI, CIA, PBS, and so on. The organized sneaky attack took over the swamp, the media companies, the Democratic party, and introduced weaponized ideas to kill our economy and create strive/fights/riots/political unrest/inflation/unemployment/….

        Trump was the excuse for the start of worldwide censorship and was the start of official world organized lying… Like the Covid Origins lies, the capital ‘riots’ lies, the 2020 US election lies, Green scam lies, CAGW lies, Zero Emissions lies, China coal consumption lies, and so on. The end of comment sections at the BBC, NYT, Washington Post, PBS, and most other ‘left’ wing media blogs.

        Comment sections do not work when the objective is to spread and push propaganda like the covid origin question and spend the US to death.

        The Democratic party is sort of a special type of organized Zombie fascism, led by a super weak ‘leader’ who suffers from dementia. The takeover of the FBI and CIA and the use of those institution to hide illegal actions by the Democratic party is not a swamp action.

          Yes, but, the
          “super weak ‘leader’ who suffers from dementia”
          is a sort of figurehead, cannot be called a leader.

          Who is/are the leadership?
          The word swamp is wrong, agreed, the word
          “Deepstate” is a better descriptor.

        And why are the law enforcement agencies allowing those very same anti-police and pro violent protesters off the hook so many times, yet Biden is now saying that the greatest threat are the white supremacists? Clearly Biden is just acting out the fool as usual. Of course if the far right do eventually come out and start retaliating against the anti-police and pro violent protesters, all hell will break loose and then Biden will say “I told you so” giving him the excuse to tighten the noose around the nation. When we have clowns like Biden in control all we can hope for is a peaceful exit at the next election. The worry though is that’s a long time from now and so a lot can happen in the meantime, a civil war not excluded.

      Simon,

      Your arrogance is only exceeded by your ignorance. There were NO WEAPONS anywhere near the 1/6 marches other than police/security, Ashli Babbit was the only real casualty and 5 months latter they still will not admit who pulled the trigger or release the security videos, the FBI and DHS were openly recruiting people to spy on the MAGA groups, there were very valid reasons why the Dumbocraps and the swamp would want the rally to go bad and the MSM followed that up by blowing it all out of proportion with grossely bias half truths.

        There is a lot of selective quoting going on there by simply choosing one agencies report and ignoring the facts reported elsewhere.

        weapons

        https://www.factcheck.org/2021/03/capitol-protesters-were-armed-with-variety-of-weapons/

        https://www.npr.org/2021/03/19/977879589/yes-capitol-rioters-were-armed-here-are-the-weapons-prosecutors-say-they-used

        from other sources:

        Although some rioters decided to bring less lethal weapons instead of guns, the violence inflicted that day was severe. The Justice Department said that during the Capitol siege, around 140 police officers were assaulted, and some sustained serious injuries. Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee said that even more D.C. police officers sustained injuries they “did not even bother to report,” including scratches, bruises and eyes burned from chemical spray.

        Capitol Police Labor Committee Chairman Gus Papathanasiou said in a statement in February that during the riot, officers sustained brain injuries and cracked ribs, one officer was expected to lose an eye and another had been stabbed with a metal fence stake. So far, the Department of Justice has charged over 125 people with assaulting or impeding law enforcement.

        39 defendants have been accused of wielding “deadly or dangerous” weapons that weren’t firearms, including Tasers, tomahawk axes, crowbars, flagpoles, a knife, an ice axe, a firecracker, a stun gun, baseball bats, fire extinguishers, a wooden club and chemical spray.

              And how many of those armed with crowbars were FBI agents? Why won’t they release the full 14,000 hours of video footage? Obviously they don’t want us to see who really created the mayhem. Even in footage taken on phones we see MAGA supporters doing their utmost to stop the vandals breaking windows.

                The Democrats were happy to release the worst footage they could find to convict Trump supporters in the national news and to “justify” thousands of troops / fencing around Capitol Hill / investigations and purges of the military.

                But hokey dokey we can’t have them releasing footage showing the pipe bomber they don’t want to catch, or who opened the doors first, or who scouted out the grounds. We can’t release footage showing Trump supporters stopping the violence, acting legally eh?

                And we wouldn’t want to expose FBI informants who knew what was going to happen because they were going to make it happen.

                That’s a doozy, even from you GAGA.

                Many of the arrested have been locked up for months now. No bail.

                A trial would be nice. Sooner the better.

                But the FBI is in a quandary, if they go to trial the pictures and vids will come out showing the FBI agents inciting the peaceful protesters.

                Then the chase will be on to find the culprits in the FBI who authorized the engagement of the FBI informants, under-cover operatives and agents-provocateur.

                No wonder they’re delaying the trial. They’ve a hell of a lot of evidence to destroy and phones to bleach-bit.

                It all takes time you know. After all they’re public servants and they don’t work very fast, and then only in an iron-lung.

      Simon – Vladimir Putin shows more intelligence than you in summing up America and Jan 6 2021

      Putin Blames U.S. Government for ‘Assassination’ of Ashli Babbitt During Capitol Riot

      Putin made the comments during an interview with NBC News, in which he argued that the United States and Russia are similar in how they handle dissent.

      “We have a saying: ‘Don’t be mad at the mirror if you are ugly,’” Putin said regarding the arrests and persecution of Capitol rioters. “It has nothing to do with you personally. But if somebody blames us for something, what I say is, why don’t you look at yourselves? You will see yourselves in the mirror, not us.”

      When asked about the assassinations of political rivals in his country, Putin responded by implying that the United States had assassinated Ashli Babbitt during the Capitol riot.

      “Secondly, I want to ask you: Did you order the assassination of the woman who walked into the Congress and who was shot and killed by a policeman?” Putin asked. “Do you know that 450 individuals were arrested after entering Congress? And they didn’t go there to steal a laptop. They came with political demands. Four hundred and fifty people have been detained. They’re facing jail time, from 15 to 20 years. And they came to Congress with political demands. Isn’t that prosecution for political opinions?”

        FBI Operatives Likely ‘Unindicted Co-Conspirators’, Organizers Of Capitol Riot: Report

        Tucker Carlson dropped several bombshells on his show Tuesday night, chief among them was from a Revolver News report that the FBI was likely involved in organizing the Jan. 6 Capitol ‘insurrection,’ and were similarly involved in the kidnapping plot against Michigan Governor Gretchin Whitmer.

        Why are there so many factual matters that we don’t understand about that day?” asked Carlson.

        “Why is the Biden administration preventing us from knowing? Why is the administration still hiding more than 10,000 hours of surveillance tape from the US capitol on January 6th? What could possibly be the reason for that – even as they call for more openness… they could release those tapes today, but they’re not. Why?”

        Tucker Carlson Outlines The Primary Threat to Our Nation, The Corrupt Intelligence Apparatus Which Includes The FBI

        Unfortunately, and completely understandably due to the content being outlined, both Carlson and Beattie need to couch their words carefully. However, CTH does not.

        Avoiding the pitfalls of exhaustive repetition for points that are, by now, brutally obvious; and considering the urgency in the matters being discussed; it’s worth just accepting a few baselines as we move forward.

        In the bigger picture the intellectually honest will admit it is impossible for Antifa to exist if the institutions of the DOJ and FBI were functioning normally as part of the national law enforcement system.

        A few dozen arrests for transparently obvious violence, combined with a few RICO cases against the financial systems that support Antifa, and the entire violent group and support network essentially disappears. Therefore, it is worth accepting the obvious…. The DOJ and FBI are part of the support structure that allows political violence to exist.

        I would personally take it (confidently) a step further and say: Antifa simply could not exist without the explicit support of the DOJ/FBI.

        Actual, real-life, Domestic Violent Extremists called Black Lives Matter and Antifa, tried to burn Washington DC in the summer of 2020. Not a single arrest. Not one. Not a single public FBI tweet about “help us find those arsonists who attempted to burn St. John’s church”. Nothing.

        The DOJ and FBI willfully and purposefully turn a blind eye to literal acts of domestic violence, shootings, beatings, arson, murder, riots and chaos -even attacks on federal buildings- and do nothing. NOTHING.

        Just like federal contractors purposefully given the keys to NSA/FBI databases to exploit and extract information for political targeting, so too is Antifa essentially operating as a federal contractor for domestic violence.

        In essence, the FBI is Antifa…. and before that the FBI was Occupy…. and before that the FBI was supporting the 2007 SEIU/AFSCME political thugs. Go ahead and prove me wrong, but you better bring receipts; because there is a mountain of historical evidence to support my position.

        Russia has a state police that CNN, the New York Times and Washington Post likes to talk about as a negative attribute to the former communist bloc. However, The United States has the FBI. Go ahead and tell me the difference between Russian “state police”, and the FBI as U.S. “state police“?

      Yes, the Trumpster asking people to protest peacefully and then to go home peacefully when things started to get out of hand was clearly an attempt to overthrow the incoming government.

      How do you explain the many videos showing Capitol Police officers politely opening barriers and WAVING people through? No attempt at all to stop people, in fact encouraging people to go through.

      Trump offered National Guard to bolster security to Pelosi and co but they would have nothing of it. Convenient as they wanted to ensure that people entered (as per above) and they could then use it to their advantage.

      The many many reports from people who would not get involved in damage and destruction, which was being attempted by BLM/Antifa operatives in the crowd.

      Of course no proper attempt to actually investigate, only to use this like the Reichstag fire as a means to take over and hold govt forever.

      The very minimal security at The White House on January 6 tells me they were either incredibly slack (highly unlikely) or almost inviting the crowd inside. The so-called riot did very little damage for what the media claimed was an attempt to overthrow the government. Usually, anyone seen within a mile of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue carrying anything that looks vaguely like a weapon is crash tackled or just plain shot!

      The whole story as officially presented is thoroughly unconvincing.

        Hoover was a cross dresser and that signifies for that time that there was corruption, as well he had a ‘dirt file’ on all his enemies, particularly the Kennedys.
        I can clearly recall him saying ‘there is no organised crime in America”, at a time when the mafia were running rampant.
        So when your boss is a crook, what does that say about the organisation.

    Yeah great Jo. There’s ample evidence that the FBI and DOJ have been corrupted, so their involvement is not just believable (and here’s the sad part), it’s quite unsurprising. The who and why of all this is very easy to see; look at what happened at the G7 meeting. Boris is using the WEF’s talking points. There is so much evidence over the last 30-40 years of the direction “they” want it to go, and who “they” are, and now that’s all mainstream. So much for the “conspiracy theory”, hey?

    Our friends in Australia well understand living under a government, but in a sort of anarchy;
    for much of history the distance from Britain and difficulty of travel; and later the essential
    nature of the population lead to a country that has historically charted it’s own course quite
    independent of political affiliation. Our red States are getting more difficult to govern
    by a liberal,urban-centric, and tone deaf federal see. Mayoralities, governors, school boards,
    and plain old grass roots groups are resisting; in a system that has always depended on consent.

    That there was no “insurrection” in DC on JAN 6 is common knowledge here; we saw cities burn all summer
    with hundreds of millions of dollars of damage, and we can still see the scars in all of them. And we can
    see that the scars are from the riots in the city, but not at the capitol. There are many other things that are common
    knowledge.

    Here are a couple of important ones that are seldom reported.

    Union leaders have sold out union members in blue collar industries.
    A majority of hispanics don’t consider themselves “generic people of color”.
    A majority of hispanics do not support open borders.
    The elites in our cities wouldn’t be caught dead sending their kids to public schools.

    The next version of Donald Trump; an effective person who does not come from politics nor academia and speaks to the disaffected
    population, may conclude that one cannot work with the existing structure, but only outside it. DT resisted the temptation to simply dump information (if it exists) that might totally destroy the system, as opposed to trusting a few individuals and hoping that the institutions could be reformed. He could have, in retroepct, destroyed a large number of people in his executive branch in full information about their activities were known. I suspect, as a patriot, he bought notions of national security that the next version will know better than to believe; why would one start again with a Shiff, for example. The need to play offence rather than defence will likely be on the table.

    Circling back to the “insurrection” …. every f######ing bit of information; the camera footage, the officers reports, the interviews,
    everything is already in the hands of the government. That they are withholding most and demanding show trials is a sign of guilt.

    From the Russia probe to the Ukraine to Hunters laptop to this mess, one has to asses the character, Not of Democrats, but of the 10,000 or so political and media types who are the liberal government and academic and media establishment.

    I think they are scared. The left’s infighting is between political realists and a suicide cult. They know the productive public has stopped listening; and their bought votes are demanding more.

    Perhaps some of the unindicted co-conspirators are not FBI assets, but rather persons guilty of mere trespassing, whom it would be overkill to indict; or persons who have agreed to provide information about the involvement and offenses of others to the government after the fact.

    But of course probably some of them were agents provocateurs, as Revolver suggests. How many were there and far over the line did they go?—those are the questions.

    Tucker Carlson: Government agents may have helped organize the Jan. 6 Capitol riot

    https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-government-agents-helped-organize-capitol-riot

    “The government is hiding the identity of many law enforcement officers who were present at the Capitol on Jan. 6”

    “Who did shoot Ashli Babbit? Why don’t we know? Are anonymous federal agents now allowed to kill unarmed women who protest the regime?”

    “And speaking of January 6th, why are there still so many things, basic factual matters, we don’t know about that day? Why is the Biden administration preventing us from knowing? Why is the administration hiding more than 10,000 hours of surveillance tape from the U.S. Capitol?”

    “But, strangely, some people who participated in the riot haven’t been charged. Look at the documents. The government calls these people “unindicted co-conspirators.” What does that mean? It means that in potentially every case, they’re FBI operatives.
    But wait. Here’s the interesting thing. “Person Two” and “Person Three” were organizers of the riot. The government knows who they are, but the government has not charged them. Why is that? You know why. They were almost certainly working for the FBI. So FBI operatives were organizing the attack on the Capitol on January 6, according to government documents. And those two are not alone. “

      Excellent article by Fox News and as Vladimir Putin has pointed out

      “Secondly, I want to ask you: Did you order the assassination of the woman who walked into the Congress and who was shot and killed by a policeman?” Putin asked. “Do you know that 450 individuals were arrested after entering Congress? And they didn’t go there to steal a laptop. They came with political demands. Four hundred and fifty people have been detained. They’re facing jail time, from 15 to 20 years. And they came to Congress with political demands. Isn’t that prosecution for political opinions?”

      What a good example of the law of untended consequences: The left had O’Reilly sacked from Fox because he supported Trump. I have no idea if he was guilty as charged but that doesn’t matter – he had to go.

      O’Reilly’s exit allowed Tucker, an even more effective conservative, to fill the vacuum and it seems Tucker is clean. If there were damning tweets, photos or harassment charges they would have been rolled out by now.

    There is blind hatred of anything Trump and the haters will believe anything that fits their hate filled narrative regardless how implausible.

    Early this week the stupidity was that Trump had his trousers on backwards, based on a pic. Even snopes debunked the story but when this was pointed out to the haters the reply was “So now you believe snopes?”

    Half a second’s thought, particularly by blokes, would convince one that a man could not put his pants on backwards, that he would need someone else to do up the fly, button and belt. Discomfort of the crown jewels could not be overlooked either. The aim, of course, was to prove Trump is mentally worse than Biden.

    Dozens of violent riots burning building and cars, taking over federal building, killing people, raping women, over and over, city after city, all defended repeatedly by the left, and you state that the right cannot admit responsibility? That’s is inane.

    There are exactly zero instances of any conservative people infiltrating BLM or ANTIFA, and pretending to be from those bigoted biased leftist groups.

    Yet In one conservative gathering, after dozens of large peaceful rallies involving millions of people, a number of known leftists became moderately violent and destructive impersonators of right wing voters. There is no reason for the right to take responsibility for violence they did not condone or instigate. There is great reason for the left to apologize for their support of BLM and ANTIFA!

      The support of BLM and Antifa by the left is not just joining in, but political as in this thread, and arranging bail money for the rare arrests. Not to be forgotten are the religious groups claiming to be non-political but giving money, then claiming they have no knowledge of the violence, a claim that looking at any TV or any newspaper would destroy.

    What did the FBI know, when did they know it, and were they involved?
    Did the FBI infiltrate the militia groups and protesters at Capitol Hill and how many agents were there?
    Why are some people who were there being kept in solitary confinement five months later, while others, who appeared to be leaders on the day, are able to go free? Is it because these people were FBI agents?
    Why are federal agencies hiding 10,000 or more hours of security camera footage of what happened on January 6th at Capitol Hill? Including, probably detailed footage of the pipe bomber the FBI supposedly want to catch.
    Who killed Ashli Babbet?

    Many questions there, including;
    Buffalo Man is apparently in custody without bail. Who’s side was he on?
    John Sullivan (BLM and film maker of the Capitol invasion) not charged as far as I know.
    Was Ashli Babbitt even killed?

    As the Swamp’s control of literally everything tightens, yet the number of citizens who disagree with the Swamp’s agenda increase, it is obvious that pretty soon democracy will be lost. With their voices ignored or silenced and their votes cancelled, there will eventually be only one way out of the corner they have been herded into – unrest and violence.

    The Swamp knows this and of course hopes to stamp out any such resistance before it spreads. Step one might be to declare, without evidence and contrary to what our eyes tell us, that ‘domestic terrorism’ is the West’s No. 1 threat. Step 2 is to declare that those ‘domestic terrorists’ are essentially right-wingers and Trump followers.
