They really do think we're stupid. But I'll give Patel some wiggle room here if he can produce written reports by all agents who were present on Jan 6. It was a major event and all agent were obligated to document their actions and observations.

But the explanation that undercover or plain clothes agents were sent for crowd control after rioting began is absurd.

[READINABLUESTATE]

I guessing that the riot was declared right after the agents were sent in to agitate.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

So what’s going to happen to Wray? He needs to be held accountable.

[P-Marlowe]

They were there for “crowd control” all right.

They were egging everyone to enter the building.

never forget the reason for the left’s treason, a peaceful protest for protecting elections

That’s a bullshit cover story

“But the explanation that undercover or plain clothes agents were sent for crowd control after rioting began is absurd.”

Somebody in the FBI lied to Patel. You don’t ‘round up’ 286 agents after the right starts from all over the country and put them into the crowd ‘after’ the riot starts. Patel should ask who ‘put that in the record’ and fire them immediately.

I detect a hint of cynicism here. And we are all justified!

[Texas Eagle]

Yeah. Plainclothes crowd control. Makes sense. 🤨

Agreed, but let's give Patel the slack that he may be playing for the cameras to have no opinion about their mission, then to be "shocked" by what it really was when finally exposed. Else, his actions might be playable as harboring a bias toward retribution which might taint his ability to get honest reports.

"Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the riot was declared by Metro Police"

Trump was far away, still speaking to his supporters.
Metro Police instantly declare a riot at the Capitol.
The FBI happens to have 274 plainclothed agents on hand, and immediately sends them into the crowd.

Patel wants us to just swallow this chain of events without thinking it was planned ahead of time by Pelosi?

[marron]

I’m not offended that plain-clothed cops were present in the crowd, I would expect it. The problem is the presence of agitators deployed by the feds. And we see a lot of evidence of it. A lot of the trouble-makers do not look like run-of-the-mill Trump supporters. Some look like antifa. And some look like feds.

"Patel should ask who ‘put that in the record’ and fire them immediately."

In a true riot situation where crowd control is needed, officers are clearly identifiable. Whoever concocted this fairy tale to Patel needs to be fired. And Wray needs some jail time.

[The Louiswu]

Utter BS

"Yeah. Plainclothes crowd control. Makes sense."

To the people who think we're stupid it makes perfect sense!

[ChessExpert]

Thanks for posting!
Someone posted a video that included Vietnamese Americans for Trump. I failed to bookmark it!

[Enterprise]

Agreed!

[odawg]

So far, Patel is the most disappointing of the cabinet picks, along with Bongino. They are laughable.

[ClearCase_guy]

If Patel believes this, he is stupid.
If Patel thinks we believe this, he is stupid.

I don’t like Patel and I don’t like Bondi. I see nothing good from these two.

[alternatives?]

I have read that there is one button that shuts and locks all the doors in the capital. That is all they needed to do.

Can we send anyone to DC that doesn’t become compromised?
