Taking his Jan. 6 denialism to another level on Tuesday night, Fox News host Tucker Carlson suggested the Capitol insurrection was a false flag orchestrated by the FBI in an effort to “suppress political dissent.”
Almost since the moment that former President Donald Trump incited thousands of MAGA supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol in order to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s election victory, Carlson has downplayed the violent riots, repeatedly insisting there was “no insurrection” and that it was nothing more than a “political protest that got out of hand.”
At the same time, the far-right Fox News star has rallied to the defense of the Capitol rioters, portraying them as largely peaceful protesters while raging against federal prosecutors for the hundreds of criminal charges filed in the wake of the insurrection. With more rioters still facing potential indictments, many have taken to cooperating with the feds to avoid or lessen jail time.
And according to Carlson, the reason why the government has “thrown the book” at some rioters and not others is because of a deep state plot to control the political narrative.
Taking aim at Attorney General Merrick Garland for announcing a new strategy to combat domestic terrorism and violent extremism in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack, Carlson said this was just further proof that the government wants to “crush anyone who leads opposition to” Biden.
After invoking Russian President Vladimir Putin’s latest whataboutism argument about the Capitol riots, which featured Putin referencing Capitol rioter Ashli Babbit’s death to deflect answering a question about jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, Carlson declared that Putin raised “fair questions.”
“Who did shoot Ashli Babbitt and why don’t we know?” Carlson added. “Are anonymous federal agents now allowed to kill unarmed women who protest the regime?

I do believe that you are right.

Given the disgraceful and reprehensible behavior by the FBI in the Mueller inquisition, I would put nothing past the bureau. They will never regain my respect.
Of course the FBI infiltrated. Who doesn’t the FBI infiltrate? Heck, they send 14 agents to look at a Garage Door string. That doesn’t mean they were controlled by the FBI. They were however unjustly arrested and given ungodly prison sentences for defending themselves quite nicely against Antifa and BLM
What’s really depressing is that there are actually readers of this who will cherish every word.
Obviously, a lot of Daily Beast readers are suffering from oxygen deprivation to the brain, from wearing their face diapers too long.
FBI was founded by Hoover. Enough said. Now everyone who works for FBI is a Democrat. And they're all in D.C. That shows you the problem right there.

There’s zero objective journalism here. Gaslighters gonna gaslight.

18 Feb: Russia Today: Daily Beast editor apologizes after accusing Tucker Carlson show of adding ‘googly eyes’ to AOC, acknowledges image is real
Daily Beast editor ***Justin Baragona has apologized for accusing Fox News host Tucker Carlson of adding “googly eyes” to a photo of progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The wide-eyed stare, it turned out, was all her own...
Baragona assumed that the image was doctored to make Ocasio-Cortez look ridiculous, and took to Twitter to accuse Carlson’s producers of adding “googly eyes” to the picture of the congresswoman...
The Daily Beast editor has a habit of antagonizing journalists and pundits he disagrees with. After he mocked Glenn Greenwald’s move to Substack last month, the ex-Intercept journalist called Baragona “a media person trapped at a shitty liberal website with no journalistic accomplishments.” Carlson is a regular target of Baragona too, and after accusing his team of getting crafty with the “googly eyes,” he declared that the Fox News host’s upcoming video series will be “just as racist as his show but with automatic weapons.”...

Lost faith in the FBI a while back. The most perplexing? I don’t know, Las Vegas? All the freaks who lied in the Trump days? The stupid 20 agents investigating a noose at a NASCAR garage?
That was NOT an insurrection. The insurrection( coup) is in the WH.
wHOSE WHITE VANS DELIVERED THE LOADS OF antifa TO THE CAPITAL TO BE USHERED IN BY THE CAPITOL POLICE? THE ENTIRE DAY WAS A FALSE FLAG OPERATION. I AM BETTING THE CIA’s moose slime Brennan IS BEHIND IT AND NASTY PELOUSY KNEW WHAT WAS COMING, AND SO DID THE TRAITOR pENCE.
If the FBI are offended by this then they might want to look in the mirror. Why on earth would anyone trust the FBI? Especially these days, it’s nothing but a sick joke. Trust broken.
Of course it is bizarre.
It was orchestrated by nancy pelosi.
I would have said CIA. Maybe they both had a hand in it.
Swamp / Deep State - bump for later....
Cointelpro, aimed at patriots.
Who thinks F-Troop -wouldn’t- do this? In Garland an FBI agent was detained and then released. He had followed the Draw Mohammed terrorists from Phoenix but somehow never notified local police about the plot.
Of course they engineered the buffalo jump for the patriots in DC.
Putin Asks Reporter If US ‘Assassinated’ Ashli Babbitt!
Townhall.com ^ | June 15, 2021 | Leah Barkoukis
During an interview with NBC News, Putin said Russia was no worse than the United States in this regard, and used the government’s handling of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot as an example.
Putin showed flashes of defiance when he was asked whether it was a “coincidence” that several other political rivals had been assassinated in recent years.
“We don’t have this kind of habit, of assassinating anybody,” Putin said when he was asked whether he ordered Navalny killed. (NBC News)
He then countered by asking whether the U.S. was guilty of assassinating Ashli Babbitt during the Capitol riot.
“Secondly, I want to ask you: Did you order the assassination of the woman who walked into the Congress and who was shot and killed by a policeman?” Putin said. “Do you know that 450 individuals were arrested after entering Congress? And they didn’t go there to steal a laptop. They came with political demands. 450 people have been detained. They’re facing jail time, from 15 to 20 years. And they came to Congress with political demands. Isn’t that persecution for political opinions?”

“Someone needs to ask FBI liar, Chris Wray, how many of the US Capitol protesters were paid informants for the FBI?”
And the Turtle. He also had to be in it.
The FBI has become an enemy of most of the American people. They have the means and motive.
