The claim arrives in the form of a footnote in a 41-page motion to dismiss charges against members of the Oath Keepers.
An attorney for a Jan. 6 defendant says in a recent court filing that at least 20 FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives "assets" were embedded around the U.S. Capitol on the day of the riot.
The attorney, David Fischer, is seeking a dismissal of charges of seditious conspiracy and obstruction charges against nearly a dozen members of the Oath Keepers and client Thomas Caldwell.
The 41-page motion was filed Tuesday before U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta in Washington, D.C., according to a report in the Epoch Times.
"At least 20 FBI and ATF assets were embedded around the Capitol on J6," a footnote in the motion reads. The motion also states that attorneys "combed through a mountain of discovery" including summaries of interviews conducted by FBI agents and that members of the Oath Keepers, a far-right group, were "being monitored and recorded prior to J6."
Fischer writes that despite carefully inspecting a significant amount of evidence during discovery, he has not found "one iota of proof" that the defendants pre-planned or had any "intention, design, or scheme to specifically enter the Capitol Building on J6."
Guessing all 20 were standing close to Ashli.
Pushing her thru the window, I’d bet the rent on it............
Ray Epps?
They misspelled “asses”.
At least? So it could be 50? 100?
What if Whitmer was a trial run? The FBI guy in charge of Whitmer false flag was apparently promoted to DC Bureau just in time for the J6 operation.
Only 20? As. If.
Who ordered the doors unlocked? They unlock from the inside.
Good point
Sad truth right there!
Infiltrated by the Gestapo. Oh, oh.
How many “Oath Keepers” were even there on J6?
I expect that is what happened to include them opening the doors and most people just walked in.
ALL of them?
The doors lock from inside. The controls are electronic. I don’t know if the doors are managed individually, but, for that building, I would be surprised if the doors weren’t managed individually.
