Among the far-right groups whose members are suspected of planning the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol are the Proud Boys. In March, the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s director told the Senate Judiciary Committee that he “absolutely” wished the agency had penetrated the group beforehand, or knew its plans.
“I do not consider what happened on January 6th to be an acceptable result,” Director Christopher Wray said. “We are focused very, very hard on how can we get better sources, better information, better analysis.”
The FBI had deeper insight into the group than Wray disclosed, however.
Bureau agents maintained connections with key Proud Boys leaders starting as early as 2019, a Reuters examination has found. At least four Proud Boys have provided information to the FBI, Reuters learned. Often these leaders were sharing intelligence about Antifa, a loose movement of left-wing activists opposed by former President Donald Trump and right-wing media.
The connections between the Proud Boys and the FBI do not mean the agency had thoroughly penetrated the far-right group. But some law enforcement veterans say the ties show the agency could have done more to prepare for the deadly Jan. 6 uprising, which sought to overturn the election of Democrat Joe Biden as president.

This is pure propaganda.
It makes perfect sense if the FBI also wants to topple America.
Exactly when did this come about? I watched a Movie the other nite with Jimmie Stewart The FBI Story.. Back then they were not about that.. They were tracking down the Communist and getting them on Espionage!!!
Antifa and the FBI are on the same side.
Why is that? Is it just the leadership or the whole thing is corrupt?
Anti-trump fanatic John Sullivan and 200+ fellow BLM/Antifa types set up the violence that day.
John Sullivan and at least one confederate curated the scene and then filmed the execution of Ashli Babbitt.
Apparently no film of the shooter.
Reuters writer Rostom, there was NO UPRISING on Jan. 6th. Drop you anti-American shit writing and go home. You lost the wars here so GTFO.
They participated in COINTELPRO as late as the 70s, I think, and were actively aiding the criminal Clintons in the 90s, and have been utterly corrupt since then, at least.
Huh?
I thought it was some fed agent, who eventually committed suicide.
If I am recalling the details right?
“Trust Wray!” Said the Qballs.
