FBI had 274 plainclothes agents embedded in Jan. 6 crowds, congressional source says

Disclosure by the FBI to Congress answers a long-simmering question but does not reveal what the agents did that day.

The FBI has acknowledged it had 274 plainclothes agents in the massive crowds on Jan. 6, 2021, more than four and a half years after questions were first raised about the level of FBI involvement that day, Blaze News has learned.

A senior congressional source said the number is not necessarily a surprise, since the FBI often embeds countersurveillance personnel at large events.

But given the FBI’s until-now steadfast refusal to disclose the level of its presence at the Capitol, the figure might still be viewed with skepticism in some quarters.

The news comes in the wake of claims by the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Inspector General that the FBI had no undercover personnel in the Jan. 6 crowds.

“We found no evidence in the materials we reviewed or the testimony we received showing or suggesting that the FBI had undercover employees in the various protest crowds, or at the Capitol, on January 6,” the DOJ OIG said in an 88-page report released in December 2024.

Never forget the reason for the left’s treason, a peaceful protest to protect our election process.

No, it was shortly after J6, 2021 and before many of the videos were taken down.

I did a search and found one new video about Ukranians at J6:

Yes, informants ar are clearly “agents” under the law. They are acting under the supervision and authority of a principle.

An agent, by definition, while they may be bound by instruction of the principal, has their own authority to act on behalf of the principal.

What is the legal definition of an agent?

AI Overview

In legal terms, an agent is a person or entity authorized to act on behalf of another person or entity, known as the principal, and to create legal relationships with a third party. The relationship is often defined by law, and the agent is empowered to make decisions and bind the principal to agreements, such as signing contracts. Common examples include attorneys acting on behalf of clients in legal matters and stockbrokers acting on behalf of investors.

Key characteristics of an agent:

Authorized to Act: An agent receives specific authority to conduct business or legal affairs on the principal's behalf.

Relationship with the Principal: The principal delegates power to the agent, establishing an agency relationship.

Binding the Principal: The agent's actions can legally bind the principal to transactions or agreements with third parties.

Not Personally Liable: Generally, the agent does not incur personal liability when acting within the scope of their authority, as it is the principal who is responsible.

In post #63 is the hot link. I put it in there, just click on it. This is not what I saw which were about 6 or 8 men dressed in identical clothing, speaking a slavic language and using something like a door breaching ram to knock a window out.

That is a link from 2023 or so, by Laura Loomer, with a grand total of 21 views. Proves nothing.

Honestly, the idea that some Ukrainian agents were embedded to in the crowd for some nefarious purpose back in 2020 - and were stupid enough to openly speak Ukrainian despite trying to be perceived as MAGA, is almost comically contrived. Even if that is what t was, it reeks not of Ukrainian meddling, but of a Russian false flag operation.

Exactly. It was reported that before J6 that Antifa was going to imitate MAGA people. The entire J6 affair was a preplanned deep state operation to crush MAGA. The truth will come out.

The election was in Nov, 2020. The J6 event happen 6 Jan, 2021.

The video I saw has been taken down or else I can't find it. I concede the video I linked is much less information. But, Laura Loomer seems to be an honest journalist and I am not the only one that saw videos that appear to show Ukranians at the scene.

There is also the incident of the gallows constructed outside the Capitol:

One of the people constructing this was tracked by video cameras and tracked from camera to camera. He left the gallows construction and walked all the way back to get coffee at the coffee shop across the street from the FBI HQ building. The gallows were destroyed the next day without investigation.

There was also the bomb hoax at the DNC HQ and the RNC HQ where video filmed the person dropping off the devices was using a smart phone and the FBI stated that the phone company records had been corrupted. Reporters stated that the cell company denied that any records had been corrupted.

With all of the FBI informants, FBI undercover agents and ANTIFA trying to look like Trump supporters, I am not sure why Ukranian operatives would be needed, but so far things that have been claimed seem to be turning out to be true.

Newsweek - FBI Knew Ukrainian Spy Was at Capitol Riot: QAnon Shaman

Jacob Chansley, known as the "QAnon Shaman," claimed the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) knew that an alleged Ukrainian spy participated in the riot at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. Chansley, who was sentenced to 41 months in prison over his involvement in the January 6 riot but was released earlier this year, said in an interview with conservative activist Laura Loomer that the FBI questioned him about the presence of Sergai Dybynyn, an alleged Ukrainian spy with reported ties to the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, which has risen to prominence amid the Russia-Ukraine war. The FBI has not confirmed Chansley's statement, which could not be independently verified. When reached by Newsweek, the FBI declined to comment.

Why would the Ukranians (or the FBI) want to make Biden look like a victim and make it look like the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion supported Trump?

The Neo-Nazi thing did not work, or did not need to be used.

The gallows thing did not work, or did not need to be used.

The pipe bomb thing did not work, or did not need to be used.

The Capitol breach (riot) worked. Else they would have gone to the next best narrative.

That is what it looks like to me.

Oh, if the Q-Anon shaman said it to the esteemed nut bag Laura Loomer, it must be true!

The FBI could have denied it to Newsweek, but they declined. What does that mean? Add Russiagate, Impeachment #1 and #2, and the four lawfare criminal prosecutions of Trump. Are you saying these are all false or one that fits the pattern is somehow false?

Approximately 2.1% of the entire special agent workforce of 13,000 or so.

Yes, but - just as a reminder of how far we have come - those 13,000 “FBI Special Agents” are larger than an entire division in WWII.

Separately from those 13,000 FBI Special Agents, the Obama-Biden-Harris DHS ALONE deployed than 9800 armed ADDITIONAL agents who are armed. Every day.
