‘At Least 40’ Undercover Informants Were Doing Surveillance On Jan. 6, Defense Lawyer Says
Daily Caller ^ | April 6 2023 | TREVOR SCHAKOHL

Posted on 04/06/2023 9:57:11 AM PDT by euram

Law enforcement agencies had at least 40 undercover informants engaging in surveillance work among defendants on Jan. 6, defendant Dominic Pezzola’s lawyer Roger Roots said Wednesday.

A Proud Boys member, Pezzola is currently standing federal trial in Washington, D.C. with the group’s former national chairman Enrique Tarrio and members Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl for allegedly conspiring to oppose the Jan. 2021 transfer of presidential power and related charges. The government admitted Tuesday that eight FBI confidential human sources were embedded among the Proud Boys on Jan. 6, Roots reported in a Wednesday court filing, saying the Homeland Security Investigations (HIS) agency appears to have had some 19 informants active at the time.

They were not just engaging in surveillance, they were instigating and inciting violence.

I know they say surveillance but they meant instigation

...Homeland Security Investigations (HIS) agency appears to have had some 19 informants active at the time.

It has been suggested that Ray Epps was a CI for Homeland Security.

It is the FBI that should be on trial here .

I would like to see some arrests of FBI agents involved in perpetrating the Vegas Massacre as well

That is the problem. not that they were there under false flags, but they may have been part of an operation to get the protestors past the protest mode into a riot.

The government planted agents in the crowd to provoke illegal activity. None of the agents were arrested for their crimes. The one who ordered that activity is guilty of major crimes.

Surveillance yes-It’s part of their job but instigation? Crosses the line. Dig into the film with facial recognition. Guilty ones should be fired in ‘25.

This whole deal was rigged and exploited from every direction. A sane and objective judiciary, which we don't have, would have remedied it a long time ago.

Hell, half the FBI should be fired along with most of the DOJ. Trump ought to clean house in 2025 and announce that all former appointees who were given government jobs will be dismissed. Too many government employees sabotage Trump by slow walking orders or ignoring EOs.

Fine do it your way and a lot of fine people will get swept away ofer tuff they had nothing to do with. It just might be appropriate.

There are a hundred or so in D.C. that should resign from their jobs the day after the GOP wins in November. ‘24. The threat of prosecution is a great motivator. No new building as the organization should get downsized.

One way to bring more attention: Rand Paul as VP candidate on condition they release every American’s file, weather they have one or not. Just say they probably have one.

How many were surveilling like Mr Epps was surveilling?

If they admit to 40 then there were 400!

One has to wonder what these 'undercover' clowns were doing there that day? Were they assigned to protect citizens like Ashley Babbit?

McCarthy needs to reconvene the J6 investigation so that history will have an accurate account as to what happened that day? It wasn't an insurrection for damn sure......

And the question is whether they numbered closer to 400 or 4,000—not 40.
