Tucker Carlson sees coverup plot behind announcement FBI found little evidence of coordination among Jan. 6 demonstrators

In the penultimate segment of the Friday edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight, he asked, “Why is the FBI exonerating people?” And there is a very disturbing answer.

Most conservative commentators have reacted with glee to a report from Reuters that:

The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.

“FBI Destroys Insurrection Narrative,” headlined Legal Insurrection. And it’s hard to avoid a sense of triumph that a ridiculous slur against Trump supporters, a plot worthy of comparison to the Reichstag Fire in its effort to discredit opposition, has been repudiated, albeit anonymously from 4 sources.

But Tucker Carlson, the most important conservative commentator of the moment, takes his reasoning a full step farther. In the penultimate segment of the Friday edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight, he asked, “Why is the FBI exonerating people?”

After reviewing the months of the 180 degrees opposite narrative, put out by the FBI and broadcast by the progressive media, that an organized insurrection took place, he suggests a sinister motive behind the leaked story to Reuters. “If there was organization going on, some of it came from the feds.”

As has often been the case, the FBI placed informants, or perhaps agents provocateur is the better term, among the demonstrators. In fact, there are upwards of 20 unindicted co-conspirators from the January 6 incident, and a good number of these may have been ringleaders on the FBI payroll, escaping prosecution for acts that were worse than the crimes for which others have been prosecuted.

“...let’s see Pelosi, Schumer, Pence (yes Pence too), and others take a lie detector test...”

Their lies would cause every machine to burn out before each completed the test. If Harris is still VP in Jan 2025, odds are she’ll reject a bunch of states’ electoral votes. Pence showed his cards on Nov 4, 2020. GOP always plays by the “rules” b/c they don’t want to set a precedence for the demonkkkraps to follow in the future. Uh huh ... that never seems to happen.

“The FBI is trying to distance itself ...”

You are too kind. They are covering up and destroying the evidence.

[Wallace T.]

This was a staged event, with the ringleader being Nancy Pelosi, with the cooperation of Mitch McConnell. The Left got their Reichstag Fire.

[Flick Lives]

For sure. That too!

[.30Carbine]

The insurrectionists succeeded in stealing the election and installing Biden.

That truth is so plain it is worth repeating.

[MCEscherHammer]

...”something else”...

Maybe, the Afghanistan debacle was a setup for the 25th Amendment removal of Old Joe, which would be THE major cover of all covers for the impending AZ/GA reports of a rigged/fraudulent 2020 election...???

Then, Don LeMon & CNN will be able to say every night that Old Senile Joe retiring to Delaware takes the election conspiracy theories off the table...nothing to see here now...in this perilous time for our nation, we must put aside political rancor and support our new POTUS...Cameltoe Harris...!

Slander on page 1, retract on page 33.

[SMARTY]

We can probably guess that everything happening between now and the next election is Liberal theater... and all set up for distraction

Someone needs to kick the leg out from under this media stranglehold

FBI Starts Cover Story to Cloud Their Involvement in January 6th Events – Now Claim No Evidence of Coordination For J6 Insurrection

August 20, 2021 | Sundance | 232 Comments

The motive for the FBI to say there is “scant evidence” of any coordinated group activity in the January 6th Capitol Hill events is transparent.  The FBI need to cloud their involvement, their coordination, their agents, their planted informants and the FBI direction in the events.

Reuters is writing today that current and former FBI officials have reversed course and said there is scant evidence that any right-wing or extremist group coordinated any attack on Capitol Hill.

WASHINGTON, Aug 20 (Reuters) – The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.

Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants, the FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump, according to the sources, who have been either directly involved in or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations.

“Ninety to ninety-five percent of these are one-off cases,” said a former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. “Then you have five percent, maybe, of these militia groups that were more closely organized. But there was no grand scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones and all of these people to storm the Capitol and take hostages.”

Stone, a veteran Republican operative and self-described “dirty trickster”, and Jones, founder of a conspiracy-driven radio show and webcast, are both allies of Trump and had been involved in pro-Trump events in Washington on Jan. 5, the day before the riot.

[…] Prosecutors have also not brought any charges alleging that any individual or group played a central role in organizing or leading the riot. Law-enforcement sources told Reuters no such charges appeared to be pending. (read more)

Glenn Greenwald previously wrote a solid outline on Substack worth reading (excerpt):

Greenwald – […] “If the FBI had advanced knowledge of what was being plotted yet did nothing to stop the attack, it raises numerous possibilities about why that is. It could be that they just had yet another “intelligence failure” of the kind that they claimed caused them to miss the 9/11 attack and therefore need massive new surveillance authorities, budget increases, and new Patriot-Act-type laws to fix it.

It could be that they allowed the riot to happen because they did not take it seriously enough or because some of them supported the cause behind it, or because they realized that there would be benefits to the security state if it happened.

Or it could be that they were using those operatives under their control to plot with, direct, and drive the attack — as they have done so many times in the past — and allowed it to happen out of either negligence or intent.” (continue reading)

Given the history of the FBI, I think we can all agree on the most likely scenario.  The FBI was deeply involved in orchestrating the events on January 6th, and the FBI would now like to see any inquiry into any process of “coordination” for those events quickly stopped.  Hence, today the FBI proclaims there was no evidence of coordination.

Move along, move along… no coordination… don’t investigate the FBI folks… move along.

My family from WV and my spouses family from KY know this long standing rule that if there is a KKK meeting and 20 people show up, 18 of them are FBI.

[unread]

Sorry, no further investigations will be forthcoming.. The DOJ is now DOA...

[griswold3]

If they install Heels Up Harris “ Hailto the Cheif” should be replaced with Rick James’ “ Super Freak”. I’d pay money if that happened.

[BobL]

I suspect that the lawyers for the political prisoners are starting to get some results in their Discovery, and so the FBI has to put an end to it now.

[Magnatron]

It is interesting that the “insurrection” hearings haven’t been getting much press lately…

[Ken Regis]

In my opinion the FBI needed to retreat from their 1/9/20 declaration of a white-wing (intended) coordinated assault because the evidence is overwhelming that (1) the deep state of the Bureau was coordinating a false flag operation and (2) unless they exonerated the crackers, the evidence of their malfeasance would come to light. IOW, they threw whitey a bone hoping to satisfy them.

Now what are they gonna do with all their political prisoners?

[bray]

Has anyone found what hospital Babbitt died at or actual cause of death. Coroner said shot in shoulder was cause of death whatever that means.

[glimmerman70]

I have heard nothing at all. Absolutely nothing except perhaps she was cremated. But heard she was shot in the neck. The video I saw them bringing her out she looked either dead or unconscious. Appeared a lot of blood from or on neck.

[gathersnomoss]

The video I saw within a day or so of her murder showed that she was shot in the neck on her left side. The murderer has been exonerated.

[glimmerman70]

Yeah same as I saw. And no charges pressed.
