FBI infiltrates group whose members wanted to test homemade bombs, surveil Capitol, secede from US, court records show
CNN Fake News ^ | 7 July 2021 | Hannah Rabinowitz and Katelyn Polantz

The FBI has infiltrated a "Bible study" group in Virginia that after the January 6 riot had members discussing surveilling the US Capitol and their wish for secession from the US, and investigators closely followed one member's plans to build and test Molotov cocktails, according to recently unsealed court records.

The newly disclosed criminal case against Virginia man Fi Duong -- who also goes by "Monkey King" and "Jim," according to the court record -- arose after Duong interacted with undercover law enforcement officers several times on January 6 and into recent months, when the FBI ultimately gained access to his group in Virginia then accompanied him to an old jail as Duong allegedly pursued bomb-building.

Law enforcement's undercover interactions with Duong and his contacts since January are laid out in a 14-page statement from the FBI filed in court in recent days to support his arrest and initial charges.

Duong was arrested last week, after the Justice Department charged him with four federal crimes, including entering the restricted grounds of the Capitol and obstruction of an official proceeding related to his alleged participation in the siege on January 6, according to his court record.

He has not yet entered a plea.

On January 6 in downtown Washington, Duong spoke with an undercover Metropolitan Police officer, according to his charging papers. Duong was dressed in black, in an alleged effort to disguise himself as the leftist group antifa, investigators say. During the conversation, Duong asked the undercover officer if they were a "patriot," and identified himself as an "operator," according to FBI records supporting his arrest.

Fi Duong

Duong was dressed in black, in an alleged effort to disguise himself as the leftist group antifa, investigators say.

…identified himself as an "operator”

The FBI has crossed from an investigative law enforcement arm to an active terrorist planning and implementation participant. It also appears by this article that their “operator” was Antifa. In spite of CNN’s attempt to describe him as “right wing”, I suspect that Fi Duong is something else…

How does one “infiltrate” a group one has founded?

He was probably going to Home Depot for home DIY project.

All good. However, since they apparently haven’t been able to infiltrate and stop violence by Anti-fa, BLM and NFAC, etc., the FBI is supporting those groups and/or actively participating in them.

Translation, he went to a gas station to get some gasol1ine for his mower and then he bought a bottle of wine and drank the wine.

TA-DA! Bomb-making materials!

The charges will ultimately be dropped because he is a mole for a different alphabet agency.

I wonder how many members in this so call group. I guess if they found a bible in my home where we meet it would be a bible group.

What is wrong having a cache of weapons.

50 glass bottles could have been for bottling home brew beer or canning.

What is wrong with keeping an eye on big brother.

I am applying the "more than one author rule" to this article.

Did you ever notice that when the leftist media lies there that the article is frequently written with more than one author on the byline? The corollary to this is the more authors the bigger the lies or alternatively the lies are about a larger conservative figure. For instance, many lies about President Trump require three or more authors. Somehow they leftist media thinks this adds credibility. It should be viewed as incompetence. They learn this crap in school when all their work they do is in group projects. They call it collaboration like it is a good thing. It has creeped over into the corporate world too. It's one thing to have your work doubled checked by a peer, it is a completely different thing to do work by committee.

There is (still) nothing in the US Constitution prohibiting state secession.

It is done to reduce culpability in a defamation lawsuit.

I can assure you, any attempts would be put down just as they were before.

"How does one “infiltrate” a group one has founded?"

An FBI agent once told me to never join a suspicious organization because even in an organization that only has two members, one of them is an FBI agent.

This moron/clown sounds like a huge threat to the US. . . . /sarc

This account just confirms to me how flimsy Biden’s argument is about white supremacists being the greatest threat our country faces right now. The facts I see and hear just don’t add up. If this is the best they have, they don’t have anything.
