The FBI could have stopped the Jan 6 events because they knew what was coming. Why didn’t they?

FBI Director Christopher Wray has a curious set of priorities. He bailed out of a Senate hearing in August to use a private jet to take him to a very important personal vacation in the Adirondacks. Wray doesn't like answering questions- especially the critical ones. And so it was once again last Tuesday that Wray refused to answer rather important questions.

FBI Director Christopher Wray refused to answer multiple questions Tuesday from a Republican congressman concerning whether FBI sources were embedded among Jan. 6 protesters during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Worldwide Threats to the Homeland.

Republican Louisiana Rep. Clay Higgins asked Wray at the hearing if the FBI had “confidential human sources embedded within the Jan. 6 protesters” that day. Wray said he had to “be very careful about when we do and do not and where we have and have not used” such sources, “categorically” denying that bureau sources or employees “instigated or orchestrated Jan. 6.”

It got heated
“Did you have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters inside the Capitol on Jan. 6 prior to the doors being opened?” Higgins subsequently questioned. Wray began to repeat that he needed to be “very careful,” but the congressman loudly insisted, “It should be a no! Can you not tell the American people no?”
No, he would not. I believe he refused to answer because it would open a Pandora's box. Wray did have sources in not only the Oath Keepers but in the Proud Boys as well. According to the NY Times (via Steve Krakauer)
NYT reports the #2 man in the Oath Keepers, Greg McWhirter, was actually an FBI informant, talking to them for months ahead of the Capitol attack.
And the NY Times reports "the FBI "had as many as eight informants inside" inside the Proud Boys, in the months before AND after the January 6 riot."

The FBI knew what was coming. The big question is why did they let it happen? They could have shut the whole down and charged many with conspiracy, but no.

They incited it and let it happen to have their moment against Trump. Pelosi had her daughter on location to film a documentary. Where’s Ray Epps?

As I wrote in a vanity last week, Congress should hold a hearing on the FBI failure to stop J6, in the spirit of the Commissions that investigated how the US military dropped the ball on Dec 7 1941 and left Pearl Harbor unprepared and undefended. Admiral Kimmel was demoted after the inquiries ( some historians say unfairly, that he didn’t have adequate intelligence to foresee the attack)

Congress needs to hold some Admirel Kimmel-type hearings regarding the FBI’s failure to protect the Capitol from “insurrection” on Jan6, when the FBI DID have informants and intelligence to be forewarned

Wray acts as if he is above the law, is never subject to scrutiny, and never subject to any Congressional oversight.

He hides behind the cover of non-existent investigations, and is fearful of disclosing the FIBs means and methods.

What becomes abundantly evident is that the FIBs' means and methods are so shady, so unlawful, so illicit, so political, and so immoral that disclosure of such means and methods would put many of them in jail, including Wray himself.

The use and abuse of human confidential informants and off-books operatives is shameful. Entrapment routinely becomes a method to a means. They've been going for decades, but it has been refined recently when going after and framing political opponents.

The FBI also hasn’t pursued the two pipe bombs planted at DNC and RNC headquarters on the night of January 5th.

Perhaps the pipe bombs were a backup plan in case the ‘insurrection’ invasion of the Capitol didn’t happen as planned.

““It should be a no!””

I saw that exchange with Higgins and that’s exactly the way all those people should be treated when they refuse to directly answer a simple question. Higgins is very impressive...former military, former police officer AND it looks like FORMER husband of at least 3 different wives..LOL - but he appears to be someone who could take Wray apart with his bare hands.

When Kamala sat on committees, she didn’t give any witnesses a chance to answer her questions. She just cut them off and said, “I’ll take that as a NO” in her trademark smarmy expression.

Obvious at this point, isn't it?

This was a political hit job using the stooges in the intel and law enforcement community.

It was/is highly questionable if Biden even won the elections and for sure there was massive manipulation. Biden came into office with a huge question mark over his head (that is a fact of the time).

1. That said, if you could take out all the grass roots leaders of opposition groups that organize on the streets, that would be a really good move, wouldn't it? Proud Boys, Oath Takers, and one more. How often do folks go to prison for more than a year for essentially, Trespassing?

2. Meanwhile the MSM basically performing oral sex for the Democrats 24/7 would gladly oblige in discrediting the folks protesting and questioning the elections by covering the hearings, showing the aftermath of the protest (consisting of a few broken windows, one mirror and a missing laptop - by far worse than anything ANTIFA did when burning down federal courthouses and actually shooting at cops). The MSM will talk about cops that died from strokes and blame the protest, but completely ignore the only true person shot dead that day: https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2021/01/08/ashli-babbitt-shooting-video-capitol/ (while a drugged out repeat violent felon that was resisting arrest and using counterfeit money was made into a martyr by the MSM, George Floyd, a tax paying small business owner and veteran is near always portrayed in a negative way and of course the police killing Floyd is in trouble, but killing Bobbitt the cop gets cleared...)

3. And finally the FBI would interview every protester that attended, even if they didn't enter the capital and do anything wrong, blatantly intimidating the core of the motivated opposition.

This was a Western style (without the firing squad) Stalin like purge. We don’t kill the folks that think differently or disagree, yet. I'm happy all these folks with history and sociology degrees can get a clearance job working for the government in law enforcement or the IC, but they really need to start thinking and being politically neutral/independent. There is a reason why that's important and even if these modern minority recruits and women working in all these three letter agencies don't quite undertand that, it will come to haunt them as they destroy the reputation and errode the support for their organization.

Even this BS accepts that narrative that Jan. 6 was somehow an planned, violent event

It was manipulated from start, to finish

FBI had informants in the organizing groups
FBI had operatives specifically inciting the crowd
Capitol Police opened the doors and removed barriers to encourage the crowd to enter
Capital Police abandoned the Capitol Building

Even then, no weapons were confiscated on site, and protestors generally only milled around and took photos

The only person killed was a protestor

Why didn’t they stop it? Is he kidding?
Because they absolutely wanted it to happen.

Ask yourself this.

If they gave the order to confiscate guns, do you really think most of those federal agents would bite the hand which feeds them? Or just rationalize and follow orders?

For most of these folks, this is the best job they ever had and will ever get. Most of them, no kidding have soft science degrees and would hold jobs as a receptionist or clerk (~$40k), teachers (~$50-55k), social workers (~50-60k), or a street cop (70-80K)... and then as a federal agent can make $110K or more easily. But their loyalty to the organization (not the Constitution in practice) and complete “compliance” is demanded. Tell them to get vaccinated and mandate this, and they will, even if they disagree personally once the pressure and risk of their job is real. There are no true values at work here, there is no loyalty to a US Constitution they are sworn into to protect (most don't even know what it says!). It's a mercenary mentality and their leaders are all political hacks.

Be really careful. We watch movies and make fun of the dumb Nazi's just “following orderz.” But we are no different.

Of course the FBI knew what was coming, which was nothing really. Just a lot of flag-waving and shouting. The only way the feds could get the ‘violent insurrectionists’ moving was literally to herd them in one direction or another.

When (if?) the order to confiscate comes down, I think you’ll see the Feebs claim that they’re an investigative body. The heavy lifting will fall to others, probably not Feds.

Simple. They are seriously into entrapment.

This was simply the “Mother Of All Entrapments.”
