FBI lost count of how many paid informants were at Capitol on Jan. 6 — later performed audit to figure out exact number: ex-official

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”.

I could swear I saw many of the same agitators leading crowds in the Portland terrorist attacks that the propaganda machine calls "protests". J6 was another event like COVID that just confirmed my paranoid conspiracy theories

....and when the LVMPD detectives got shot kicking in the door at the Vegas Massacre there was a long dead Paddock with dried blood and two live FBI agents inside with smoking guns who were shooting out through the door with 10mm and long dead Paddock had 9mm laying nearby,

according to a brother in law of the LVMPD who arrested the FBI inside (who I worked in const. with), he arrested the perps but they had FBI badges and the LVMPD was told to stop investigating.

....and the planes used in 911 had the capability to be flown by sattelite link from a remote location like a military drone , after 2020 I do now believe our Deep State government would do 911 and rationalize it in their twisted Bushtype minds.

the diabloical crimes of the FBI goes way way deeper than J6

I had starting making plans to be there on J6. They fell through. Couldn’t clear my calendar. I’m hesitant admitting that i “wanted” to be there. That will probably be a crime with this fbi, if biden wins again.

How does one make a 597 foot statue?

With a 598 foot ladder.

[Eleutheria5]

Nearly twice the size of the Statue of Liberty from pedestal base to torch.

The odds that the 'informants' would draw a weapon were low. The officer that shot Ashley was not an informant.

I meant that if he was going to shoot anyone, how did he manage to hit one of the few genuine Trump supporters instead of all the Antifa and FBI informants there, not "Why did he (as opposed to the informants) shoot Ashli Babbitt?". English is a heckuva language.

Please ask investigators to find out who threw the flash bang grenades which started the riot,that would answer a lot of the questions

The outcome could not have been influenced by 5 informants or 50 informants. If there were more than 200 informants, that would have influenced the outcome.

50 informants are still a lot. Especially if you have them stationed at critical locations like Ray Epps who served in his role as a provocateur.

Thanks for your response. I believe that she was picked as being one who would provide the most distraction (being a wounded female). This would allow the officer to quickly and easily exit the building with the ‘package’.

A correction. It wasn’t an Air Base that the officer was taken to. It was a NAVAL Base.

My question to you is still this... What was in the package that was so important to Nancy Pelosi that it had to be taken to a military base and be guarded 24/7 until she could retrieve it ?
