What Role Did the FBI Play in January 6?
American Thinker ^ | 7 Jan, 2022 | Julie Kelly

Just as the investigation into the “terror attack” of January 6 was in full swing in the autumn of 2021, court proceedings in the alleged 2020 plot to kidnap of Governor Gretchen Whitmer began in Michigan.

When 13 men allegedly tied to militia groups were arrested on October 7 of this year on federal and state charges for planning to kidnap Whitmer from her Michigan vacation cottage, Team Biden and Whitmer herself made the most of the timely political gift.

SNIP

In a press release announcing the arrest of six of the plotters on federal charges, the Justice Department detailed the elaborate plan. “This group used operational security measures, including communicating by encrypted messaging platforms. On two occasions, members of the alleged conspiracy conducted coordinated surveillance on the Governor’s vacation home . . . and discussed detonating explosive devices to divert police.” The wannabe kidnappers planned to use a taser gun on Whitmer then either abandon her in a boat on a nearby lake or transport her to Wisconsin to stand trial. “These alleged extremists undertook a plot to kidnap a sitting governor,” the assistant FBI special agent in charge said in the statement. “Whenever extremists move into the realm of actually planning violent acts, the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force stands ready to identify, disrupt, and dismantle their operations, preventing them from following through on those plans.”

Investigating—or Planning—the Plot?

But the Justice Department’s description failed to match reality as court documents and testimony would show. Far from the FBI thwarting the operation, the FBI itself enlisted participants, organized and funded training and surveillance trips, and used paid informants working with FBI agents to lure unsuspecting “militia” members into attempting to execute the plot.

The leaks have started. The FIB admitted to the NY Times that they had operatives with Proud Boys on 1/6. I’m sure there is a lot more and it will come out in dribs and drabs at the convenience of the deep state.

And Liz Cheney and the committee are charged with getting to the bottom of things. Their singular mission: get Trump.

The fbi and many other agencies in the federal government are the enemy.

It is frightening that they are siding with the ruthless, totalitarian left.


They are, and have always been a political branch. Hoover may have started it with good intentions but it became “ weaponized” as their power grew.

The pols quickly figured out they could infiltrate it, and use it to control agendas, and put fear into the general population as a result.

The whole Comey et al treatment of Trump & Flynn the perfect example.

No real investigative journalism.... Instead.... look what Watergate resulted in, and we can use it again if needed.

Problem is Trump was the victim of a manufactured story that the Media perpetuated......

I also remember Mike Pompeo parading to Mitch McConnell’s office soon after election day. What were they doing?

They are not the enemy. They are. Joke, a dangerous joke but still a clown show. Anyone working for them after all these raids on average Americans is a schoolyard bully with no morals or ethics.

Only Epps nows for sure?

Get the US Marshals to arrest him and sweat it out of him
via rigorous interrogation.

Oh, i forgot! Epps has disappeared , courtesy of garland, under the witness protection program, he now lives in Bolivia under an assumed name?

Either that or its Arkanicide.

But what if the FBI now start leading my group into acts that are illegal? What if they take advantage of my legal naivety, and suggest illegal acts, and then my group goes along with that. Am I now a criminal, or even worse, a terrorist?
