Don’t get butt-hurt.

My point is - they could have possibly been any number agencies, dressed as DC cops

Lot of harrumphing here. The case is essentially that exculpatory evidence may be suppressed from public view if it makes the offenders look bad. One wonders how anyone trying to make this case can keep a straight face in court.

The Dems are trying to hang onto their Star Chamber with secret evidence, secret witnesses, secret testimony, and a cooked verdict pronounced triumphantly by dishonest media that prevents any consideration of the evidence other than their own. Anyone trying to count the number of violations of American legal procedure here is likely to be overwhelmed by their sheer number.

Yes - me too.

I figured: local DC cops are like any muni cops - they investigate murders, chase car thiefs, etc... Maybe they have some Capitol Police and FBI liason types, but as a group, they wouldn’t involve themselves in any major national political issue like this. I don’t think even the DC Mayor herself would. They’re all too low on the deep-state totem poll.

So my “guess” is - someone is wearing their uniform, or its some unit which really belongs to FBI. The rot is indeed deep - FBI is basically America’s KGB

I did see a video of 1/6, epoch news maybe, that showed a D.C.Officer yelling they had been, we’re being, “ set up “

He said it not just once, but repeatedly to the officers around them.

I guess if they noticed strange unknown persons wearing their uniforms they would have kept mum in the moment,,, except maybe one of them.

Maybe that’s what he meant and was talking about.

Someone beat those women to death that day.

The officer suicides are a major tell imo also.

She’s a 28 y/o woman. Not a teen.

They were undercover Metro cops, according to the prosecutors.
Undercover means they were not in uniform. The prosecution had been hiding this information for more than two years.

Since the cops were not in uniform, no third party secretly wearing cop uniforms exist, except in your imagination.

Or maybe the DC Metro police have something similar to the old Chicago “red squad,” the “red-stater squad”.

Since they were not in uniform, who confirms they are DC Metro cops?

Totally destroys the premise of trespass charges.

three D.C. Metropolitan Police Department undercover officers
While they may have been MPD employees, why does anyone assume they were working for Metrop Police at the time?

The DC Metro cops, rather than the Cap Hill cops, seem to be the main agitators. More politicized ...and racist, since Democrat machine politics is most likely how they acquired their jobs. Pelosi probably called in a favor.

Oh, I don’t doubt they were. Cops in Democrat run cities have to be political or they won’t get hired. Donations or favors, that is how you stay employed.

In the 80s the DC mayor was a drug dealer. You have way too much faith in DCPD.

I don't doubt DCPD is corrupted. I just can't imagine any street-cop, on his own and even if the biggest marxist in the world, getting involved in J6. Its not their game

I CAN imagine it, if that so-called DCPD is actually an agent/reports to some other agency in Fed.gov

Can someone paste the text where the federal prosecutors say what the cops did that was provocative? I don’t have an Epoch account.

The undercover video—a portion of which posted on Rumble on March 24—shows three members of the MPD’s Electronic Surveillance Unit approach the Capitol’s northwest steps. One of the men, while surveying the crowd, stated, “Someone’s going to get shot.”

Officer 2 replied, “They’re not going to shoot anybody.”

Along the edge of the Capitol property, Officer 2 encouraged one protester to go up to the building. “Go join ‘em then,” he said. The man replied, “No, I’ve got my bike to guard.”

The men engaged in banter on the walk across the west Capitol lawn.
‘Never Seen Anything Like This’

“This is amazing,” Officer 2 said. Officer 1, who was shooting the GoPro video, replied, “Yeah, I’ve never seen anything like this.”

Nearly 30 members of the Electronic Surveillance Unit were assigned to duty on Jan. 6, some of whom were gathering evidence on crowd activity. Members wore special bands on their left wrists to identify themselves as part of the Electronic Surveillance Unit, according to the MPD’s 96-page Jan. 6 action plan.

Officer 1 repeatedly joined in chants of “Drain the swamp!” and “Our house! Our house! Our house!”

A little closer to the Capitol, the video captures a protester shouting, “Joe Biden! We wanna hear you speak, you [expletive] pedophile satanist [expletive]!”

A short time later, Officer 1 joined the crowd in a “USA!” chant, repeating the phrase five times.

At the foot of the northwest stairs, someone leaned part of a bicycle rack against the balustrade. As a protester climbed up the makeshift ladder, Officer 1 shouted, “C’mon, man, let’s go! Leave that sh*t.”

Officer 1 got help from a protester climbing onto the balustrade of the steps. Then, surveying the people moving up the staircase, he shouted, “C’mon, go, go, go!”

Officer 1 encouraged the crowd to move up the stairs with repeated shouts, “Keep going! Keep going!” and “Keep going, keep going, come on!”

Once Officer 1 jumped from the balustrade onto the stairs, he passed someone he knew, a man in a blue sweatshirt wearing a dark cap, protective goggles, and what appeared to be a Halloween mask.

“Tim!” the officer said, to which the unidentified man replied, “What’s going on, bro?”

Walking on a sidewalk next to the Capitol, Officer 1 hears a protester say, “Now they’re letting everybody in, there ain’t nowhere to go.”

Officer 1 replied, “I think it’s gonna…they’re going to trap everyone in.”

“This video clearly evidences undercover law enforcement officers urging the crowds to advance up the stairs and scaffolding towards the Capitol on January 6,” Pope wrote in an earlier case filing. “The government may claim that incidents like this did not happen, but the facts show they did.”

Prosecutor Moran acknowledges such in a motion filed on March 24.

“The specific footage, GoPro video recorded by an MPD police officer who was stationed at the Capitol in an evidence-gathering capacity, captures the officer shouting words to the effect of, “Go! Go! Go!” Moran wrote.

“At other times in these videos, the officer and the two other plainclothes officers with him appear to join the crowd around them in various chants, including “drain the swamp,” “U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!”, and “Whose house? Our house!”

Moran also argued against unsealing large amounts of closed-circuit television (CCTV) security video, which she said could put officers at risk.

“There are very specific and highly worrisome risks associated with the specific videos the defendant seeks to share en masse,” she wrote.

“Given the highly volatile nature of the discourse surrounding these cases, releasing the identities of the officers depicted in these videos—officers the defendant now claims to have instigated the entire attack on the U.S. Capitol—would surely put the lives of those officers at risk.”

Very interesting. The potential damage to the Government’s case is significant, if not fatal.
