The F.B.I. had as many as eight informants inside the far-right Proud Boys in the months surrounding the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, recent court papers indicate, raising questions about how much federal investigators were able to learn from them about the violent mob attack both before and after it took place.

The existence of the informants came to light over the past few days in a flurry of veiled court filings by defense lawyers for five members of the Proud Boys who are set to go on trial next month on seditious conspiracy charges connected to the Capitol attack.

Well, yeah. If you like hanging out and drinking with Feds, by all means join a militia or the PB.

I’m guessing that Gavin McInnes was one of the informants, because he wasn’t arrested.

Yeah I think there were probably more informants than actual Proud Boys.

Yeah, it's time we get a lie detector and line up the boys in the militia and see if we can't flush out the traitors. We don't don't need no Ray Epps in the group.

I find it totally impossible to believe anything written in the New York Times with their source being the FBI. Been there, done that... Not buying their propaganda.

Bastards persecuting American Patriots...of course they are considered far right...communists believe any freedom loving people are far right. Proud Boys protected innocent Americans from assault when the police stood down. Love that organization and the Oath Keepers for that matter, great individuals doing good for America.

Yup—Stevie Wonder could have seen this coming...

COINTELPRO never died—they just changed the name.

I think it was Voltaire who said, “Where three are gathered in conspiracy two are government agents.”
