"Federal law does not permit cooperating witnesses or informants to be charged with conspiracy, despite a baseless suggestion by Tucker Carlson that some co-conspirators of the January 6 attack on the US Capitol were not charged because they were undercover FBI agents"
This is Twitter's fact check/disclaimer or whatever they call it. It show's at top when you click on the "Tucker Carlson" tranding topic.
If they want to dismiss his statement or contradict him shouldn't it read:
"Though, Federal law does not permit cooperating witnesses or informants to be charged with conspiracy, there is no basis for a suggestion by Tucker Carlson that some co-conspirators of the January 6 attack on the US Capitol were not charged because they were undercover FBI agents"
They are probably nit-picking informant vs. agent. It’s in bad faith.
Well, the real point here is that if these undercover informants were FBI agents and they fomented the “insurrection”, then they are guilty of entrapment. In fact whoever let people into the Capitol are guilty of that same charge.
If they were FIBbies then they are not ‘cooperating witnesses’ they were part of a SET-UP and that should be illegal.
Would any of these people have gone in there if these ‘cooperating witnesses’ had not urged them on?
Circular logic.
They cannot be charged because .... we say so...............
ding ding
FBI Agent <> Agent of the FBI??? An informant would be an “agent of the FBI” in the common sense of the words. Sorry, Common Sense is not allowed!
The conspiracy is on the part of the FBI. The FBI is the law breaker. Jack Dorsey can shove his comments up his ass.
"Tucker Carlson suggested that some co-conspirators of the January 6 attack on the US Capitol were not charged because they were undercover FBI agents. Because Federal law does not permit cooperating witnesses or informants to be charged with conspiracy, Tucker Carlson may or may not be accurate, depending on whether those not charged were indeed FBI agents."
One more reason why conservatives need to stay active on Twitter - we’re either there, calling out BS, or surrendering the site to liberal trolls.
You are right. The Twitter “fact checkers” don’t make any sense.
“Federal law does not permit cooperating witnesses or informants to be charged with conspiracy”
What Federal law? Never heard of that one.
I suspect that the Cabal needed an “Insurrection” to “Seal the Steal”, so the
FBI agents infiltrated groups they hoped to paint as white supremacist
terrorists and then proceeded to plan, lead and foment the “insurrection” as
requested.
It would NOT have happened without their efforts to bring it about.
Unfortunately, I think they have accurately perceived the Idiocracy of the average citizen. They no longer even feel a need to hide their logical fallacies so long as certain key words are used, such as in this example utilizing the word “despite”.
People are inept at full comprehension and solely rely on a few select words to determine what the message is. Most people likely read:
“It is unlawful despite suggestion by tucker Carlson”, rather than seeing the true contextual implications of the sentence.
.
I think Tucker is saying the “cooperating witnesses” were *ONLY* not charged because they were with the FBI, IOW if they hadn’t been government agents they would have been charged.
The “fact check” seems to be trying to say that the “cooperating witnesses” are exempt from being charged by dint of their cooperation.
Well phrased.
But it “is” was it “is not” depending what the meaning of “is” is. Right?
The statement confirms Tucker Carlson’s report.
Even if it was intended as a denial.
Even if it’s true (which I doubt) that the law prohibits filing “co-conspirator” charges against cooperating witnesses, it does not prohibit other charges being filed, yet none were. All the time, you hear about plea deals for lesser charges in exchange for testimony against others.
