The FBI had so many paid informants at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, that they lost track of the number and had to perform a later audit to determine exactly how many “Confidential Human Sources” run by different FBI field offices were present that day, a former assistant director of the bureau has told lawmakers.
At least one informant was communicating with his FBI handler as he entered the Capitol, according to Steven D’Antuono, formerly in charge of the bureau’s Washington field office.
D’Antuono has testified behind closed doors to the House Judiciary Committee that his office was aware before the riot that some of their informants would attend a “Stop the Steal” rally thrown by former President Donald Trump but he only learned after the fact that informants run by other field offices also were present, along with others who had participated of their own accord.
The Washington field office had to ask FBI headquarters “to do a poll or put out something to people saying w[ere] any CHSs involved,” he said, so they could get a handle on the scale of the FBI’s spying operations at the Capitol that day.
“We started getting responses back” from FBI headquarters, added D’Antuono, which helped identify which field offices had planted confidential informants in the crowd.
One paid informant from the Kansas City field office was at the Capitol as the crowd surged inside and allegedly was in communication with his FBI handler, “while they were in the crowd, I think, saying that they were going in,” according to the former bureau brass.
“They were trying to stop some of the action happening and they left or whatnot.”
Asked how many informants the audit discovered were in the crowd that day, D’Antuono would only say “a handful”.

True
In The Green Prince, Mossab Hassan Yousef (WTF. It’s a movie now? I just read the book) says that his handlers arrested him from time to time, both to give him street cred, and also to give him instructions.
Among Chassidic dissidents in the former Soviet Union, there used to be a joke: “To be arrested once is a mitzvah. Twice is lamhadrin (for the most strict adherents). Three times, chosheshim leyuhara (we worry that the three-times arrestee is a show off [i.e., an informant]).
Have you ever been to an NFL game? A few people start the wave and pretty soon the whole stadium is doing it. There was also the capital police waving people inside. How about Ray Epps and people like him. Most conservatives would not fight with police. Oh yeah, there was the guy hit with the extra charge of terrorism for pushing on a barricade. Jan 6 will go down in history as the worst tyranny committed by our government.
I did see what the audit determined in the article. But the above was in the article near the end.

“Jan 6 will go down in history as the worst tyranny committed by our government.”
If only it were so. Only two killed. Kent State boasts of four dead and a rock-n-roll number by Crosby, Stills, Young and Nash. Then there were the massacres of Amerindians at Sand Creek, Wounded Knee...
Like every government in the world, including democracies, the US government has had its inglorious moments. J6 is among these, but hardly the most egregious.
It’s clear not ONE federal agency can keep records. No accountability.
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
records can be turned into evidence
Even taking off their shoes and socks to count past 10.
No, it's a statue in India. Statue of Unity. It's of one of the leaders of the Independence movement.
“..The outcome could not have been influenced by 5 informants or 50 informants...”
The violent ones, those who should have been prosecuted were probably much less than 100.
Who needs to count or keep track with other people’s money footing the bill?
C’mon, Man!
How do you know that? We have like a couple minutes of interior surveillance footage, all of it released to smear and accuse the pro-Trump demonstrators.
Just one person moved the barriers that blocked an exterior No Trespass area, where dozens of others would be charged later with trespassing.
Just two people climbed up to the elevated ledge. They then helped dozens of other people to climb up, all of whom now face prison terms.
Just one person urged dozens of demonstrators to walk around the Rotunda area, all of them now facing prison time.
Just two people smashed windows and urged others to climb in behind them.
Just one person held open a side door and urged others to enter the Capitol.
So, seven provocateurs got HUNDREDS of people arrested, but you claim it would have taken 200 informants to start a riot.
Unreal.
A King Kong’s handful, I’ll warrant.
YOu sound like an FBI patsy. There were 2,000 people present. There were NOT 2,000 rioters. 221 people have been accused of violent or disorderly conduct. By your apparent notion of 10-1, that would require 20 agents/informants/Leftists/false-flaggers. That would seem a very low estimate.
Joseph Conrad's The Secret Agent is a pretty good novel about government hiring terrorists to set off a bomb, so they can crack down on dissidents after the bombing.
“Have you ever been to an NFL game? A few people start the wave and pretty soon the whole stadium is doing it. “
Have you ever seen someone pass you at 80 MPH? There is a tendency to speed up, like wow everyone is speeding, what is my problem? And when everyone is looting, maybe it is ok to say why not take some loot? Unfortunately, those who entered the Capitol deserve a conviction, but the sentences should be a fine or probation. On the other hand, 1 out of 10000 times you go over the speed limit you get a ticket. So don’t drive 80 when there are hundreds of speed cameras on you.
“paid informants”=agitators and rioters.
Concrete, covered with steel, covered with bronze.
What get's me is that he didn't fire a warning shot! He murdered her.
The worst tyranny committed by our government so far!
