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

“Why didn’t they stop it”

Because it was an FBI attack on Congress, that’s why

Has Director Wray investigated Ray Epps? Seems Epps played an integral part in the storm of the Capitol Building but nothing ever has been done regarding his participation.

The cap police knew too. It was well known there would be a Trump rally at the Capitol. Any sentient American knew from the previous four years that Trump events draw huge crowds, but they did not put on any more staff.

Obama is a hack. NOT the greatest campaigner of all time. That wins stupid post of the day.

And, unfortunately, they succeeded. They have appointed the next witchhunt director, and an indictment will soon follow.
They’re still using Jan 6th, even though, we all know they staged Jan 6th.

Need the same type of investigation into Fauci and the lawmakers that ran the covid scam and the Russia hoax against the president.

That’s a simple question to answer: they wanted it to happen. They wanted something they could blame on Trump and his voters. That’s why Pelosi only deployed half the Capitol police, that’s why the only barricades they set up were bicycle racks, and that’s why they turned down the offer of up to 20,000 National Guard troops. Pelosi, McConnell, Wray, Bowser, and most likely others knew what was about to happen, because they were all involved in the planning.

That’s also why they set up the “January 6th Committee” and immediately announced that Nancy Pelosi was off-limits to any inquiry.

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

The FBI failed far more egregiously in the run-up to 9/11.

If they weren't called to account for that, they're not going to be asked to explain anything.

They didn’t stop it, just like they deliberately didn’t discount the fake Russian dossier, even though they knew it was fake. They were intent on sidelining Donald Trump the candidate, then Donald Trump, The President.

“Why won’t they interview Ray Epps?”

IIRC someone from the Fees did interview Ray Epps. It went something like the following:. They asked Epps if he had any involvement with the FBI, probably wording it in a very narrow way to exclude any possibility of revealing a connection. He said no. They said OK. End of investigation.

"...why didn’t the FBI inform Congress and the White House, to make sure National Guard was stationed so a riot couldn’t happen?"

Because they already had plans, and assets implanted within the rally to make sure it escalated, and got out of hand. President Trump is on record as having “strongly recommended” sending in the National Guard to secure the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to both Pelosi and Mayor Bowser, but was totally ignored.

Why blame the FBI?

It’s not like the FBI refused extra police and national guard support, had a film crew there to film the event, and gave orders to open the doors to the capital building. They just got people in the mood for rioting, encouraging them to violence, while Trump said “Peaceful, and respectful of the police”.......

Their “informants” were, I suspect, enocuraging and promoting what the FBI/DOJ would later go on to “prosecute”; lending 100% credence t to idea they - DOJ/FBI - wanted Jan 6 just as it become, 100% for the totally POLITICAL bias they could make in “prosecuting it”. Had they stopped in then the Biden team would be minus a giant ant-Trump narrative. The DOJ/FBI was showing they’d be 100% Biden camp supporters.

This crap is in the FBI’s DNA. Check out “cointelpro” at wikipedia. We’ve been through it all before.
