The claim arrives in the form of a footnote in a 41-page motion to dismiss charges against members of the Oath Keepers.
An attorney for a Jan. 6 defendant says in a recent court filing that at least 20 FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives "assets" were embedded around the U.S. Capitol on the day of the riot.
The attorney, David Fischer, is seeking a dismissal of charges of seditious conspiracy and obstruction charges against nearly a dozen members of the Oath Keepers and client Thomas Caldwell.
The 41-page motion was filed Tuesday before U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta in Washington, D.C., according to a report in the Epoch Times.
"At least 20 FBI and ATF assets were embedded around the Capitol on J6," a footnote in the motion reads. The motion also states that attorneys "combed through a mountain of discovery" including summaries of interviews conducted by FBI agents and that members of the Oath Keepers, a far-right group, were "being monitored and recorded prior to J6."
Fischer writes that despite carefully inspecting a significant amount of evidence during discovery, he has not found "one iota of proof" that the defendants pre-planned or had any "intention, design, or scheme to specifically enter the Capitol Building on J6."
What if??????
It was all incited like the Whitmer case??
20? Lol. Who believes it would be only 20?
The CNN guy seemed to think it was more than 20.
Is it not odd that on one hand the capital police were not prepared for crowds. Yet on the other there were 20 “assests” embedded in crowds?
Yeah, that's way too low. Probably at least 100, maybe more.
“What if??????
It was all incited like the Whitmer case??”
Ya think?!?
Of COURSE it was a setup. Who gave the order to NOT get the Gueard there? Who gave the order to open the barricades? Hold open the doors? Launch flash bangs INTO (not in front of) the crowd to instigate a stampede?
Pelosi was absolutely in on it, the mayor, the FIB...
And the idiot J6 kangaroo committee won’t call any of them to testify.
Total. Setup.
They want Trump in jail, or at a minimum, blocked from running again.
This judge, Amit Mehta, was an Obama appointee, for what that’s worth.
assets or liabilities??
It was a setup by the FBI unless they can produce overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
The FBI no longer deserves the benefit of the doubt or any consideration that they operate in an honorable manner.
They were prepared for crowds. They acted as tour guides.
“assets?”
I can think of a better name to describe them.
News on Epps?
I’d believe maybe that many SPECIAL AGENTS-IN-CHARGE MANAGING AGENTS controlling ten times or more informants, embeds and regular FBI, Capitol Police and local LE......
I'm sure Proud of Amerika!
Court filing states 20 federal ‘assets’ embedded at the Capitol on January 6
And four of them were those pretend police who testified about how they were “abused.”
Yeah, I thought he was supposed to testify at the Jan6 soviet show trial.
The DOJ/FBI hated Trump, and they used the protests on Jan 6th to achieve an excuse to continue to go after the Trump name - goading and permitting the entry of the protestors into the Capitol.
