The FBI on J6
American Thinker ^ | 16 Dec, 2024 | Maker S. Mark

Posted on 12/16/2024 4:25:59 AM PST by MtnClimber

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the FBI issued a report last week that detailed at least 26 FBI Confidential Human Sources (CHSs) were present at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

There are limitations imposed on the OIG in an investigation like this. If the office found 26, there were likely more. The OIG’s mandate is limited to interviewing current FBI employees only. If the FBI was working with Capitol police, and the Capitol police had a CHS, the OIG would not learn of or report on this because of lack of jurisdiction. The same with the CIA and other three-letter agencies. And, if agents were involved, all they had to do was retire or move to another agency to avoid investigation. The report does not detail the total number of agents that might have had information but fell out of purview.

If you look at the report, you will see in the methodology who was not interviewed. The OIG could not interview anyone that was not currently employed by the FBI. For example, the report details at least David Bowdich, Jeff Sallet, John Brown, Terry Wade, and Stephen Laycock all declined to be interviewed. A footnote reads: "One former FBI TFO declined our interview request." In another telling statement, the OIG acknowledges an inability to subpoena or compel testimony from former department employees and third-party witnesses.

In other words, the OIG only spoke to people who are with the FBI and who cooperated. The office did not speak to any third parties or former FBI employees. Nor did it speak to anyone outside the FBI that might have been working with the FBI at the time. In short, the OIG spoke to a limited number of cooperating FBI agents.

I think the FBI and Capitol Police had a huge hoax operation and they are only letting small amounts of information out hopint the attention will go away.

If only The Botox Queen had accepted DJT’s offer of 10,000 troops rather than turn it down hoping for a huge problem. She surely knew that Rat Party moles at the DOJ would stir things up.

Time for public Congressional hearings, with Liz Cheney and Pelosi testifying.

That’s the only way to clear Trump with the entire public. Call them Lawfare Hearings and include Fat Fannie, Bragg, James, the Judges,...

Democrats need a taste of reality to bring them out of the trance.

The new Congress can issue subpoenas and compel testimony, no matter if they’ve left the Bu. Give them the full Bannon treatment if they resist.

There were certainly more informants and likely agents. This FBI operation was certainly an outlier. The time and money devoted to this project makes the case for a false flag entrapment scheme. It’s also likely inconsistent with the department’s own rules and policies.
Anyone involved in the planning and execution of this operation needs to be prosecuted.

I love the resurgence of the old Nixonian term describing this IG “report” as a “modified limited hangout”.

“Anyone involved in the planning and execution of this operation needs to be prosecuted.”
Ozero, Biden, Jarrett, Pelosi, Schumer, Garland, Wray, Comey, Schiff, Swalwell, Jeffries, and 20 more.

There was a photo posted of a fellow discretely showing a DC Police badge to another during the J6 activity. Both were plants, I am sure.

It’s the old trick of admitting to a lesser crime to hide the big crime. They made their fake lesser crime too small - nobody believes it.

Only twenty? I suspect there were many more than that.

Did the OIG interview Ray Epps and several of his agitators who were associated with the FIB and Nancy. Epps and friends are responsible for hundreds of agitators storming the Capitol Bldg. at their insistence Numerous vids show Epps and friends in action.

Maker S. Mark (a pseudonym) is a patriot who can understand and explain advanced math and science, and is worried about the state of the nation and how to solve the problems we face. United we stand, divided we fall.
