Federal authorities won't explain why three men who participated in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, have mysteriously disappeared from the FBI's Capitol Violence Most Wanted list. One unidentified man wore an earpiece during the riot and was filmed carrying what appeared to be a concealed handgun on his left hip. The man was pictured on the FBI's most wanted list for over five months until he was removed without explanation on the same day the New York Times reported an FBI informant was at the Capitol on Jan. 6. A second unidentified man was filmed beating police officers...

President Donald Trump said during an appearance on the Dan Bongino Show that he will fully investigate Jan. 6. Trump stated that he will figure out the identity of the pipe bomber, identify the scaffold man who instigated rioting, and determine whether Ray Epps is a federal informant. “I think we are going to find out about Ray Epps. I think we are going to find out about scaffold man… We’re going to find out who scaffold man is, and we are going to find out about other things, and I think you’re going to be very happy,” Trump said...

The ex-wife and son of the founder of the Oath Keepers are expressing concern that their safety could be compromised if former President Trump pardons Stewart Rhodes in a potential second term. Rhodes was convicted of seditious conspiracy and sentenced to 18 years in prison for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, riots at the Capitol. The Oath Keepers are seen as one of the main groups involved in the attack. Trump has said he would pardon rioters from that day should he win the White House. In an interview with USA Today, Rhodes’s ex-wife, Tasha Adams, said she...

In 2007, Orlando residents were furious to discover that an FBI informant had organized a neo-Nazi rally through one of the city’s mostly black neighborhoods a year earlier. “To come into a predominantly black community, which could have resulted in great harm to the black community? I would hate to be part of a game,” Orlando City Councilwoman Daisy Lynum said at the time, calling for a “full-scale investigation” into the matter. However, an FBI agent testified that his informant participated in the event, but didn’t organize it. The city’s uproar passed without a public investigation, full-scale or otherwise—until now....

Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney Mitch McConnell knows Trump provoked the violent attack on our Capitol and then “watched television happily” as his mob brutally beat police officers and hunted the Vice President. He knows Trump refused for hours to tell his mob to leave and “even then with police officers bleeding…he kept repeating his election lies and praising the criminals.” He knows Trump committed a “disgraceful dereliction of duty” and is a danger to our Republic. Trump and his collaborators will be defeated, and history will remember the shame of people like @LeaderMcConnell who enabled them.

President Trump on Wednesday afternoon responded to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s latest court filing and attempt to take away his First Amendment right. Jack Smith wants to prevent President Trump from blaming provocateurs and undercover agents for the January 6 Capitol riot. “Through public statements, filings and argument in hearings before the court, the defense has attempted to inject into this case partisan political attacks and irrelevant and prejudicial issues that have no place in a jury trial,” Jack Smith’s 20-page filing said. ...... Snip...... “Evidence about undercover actors holds no probative value here,” Smith wrote. Trump’s trial date for...

Nearly three years after the violent breach on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, a lawmaker presented FBI director Christopher Wray with a new theory about how people arrived at the Capitol that day. "Do you know what a ‘ghost vehicle’ is?" Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., asked during a Nov. 15 House Committee on Homeland Security hearing. "You’re the director of the FBI, you certainly should. Do you know what a ‘ghost bus’ is?" Wray said he wasn’t familiar with the term. Higgins expounded. "These (ghost) buses are nefarious in nature and were filled with FBI informants dressed as...

It appears House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) decision to release all of the J6 footage might already be yielding some fruit. One video shows Capitol Police officers acting in a suspicious manner.In the footage, Capitol Police can be seen walking a man, who appears to be a J6 protester, to an exit in the Capitol building. The man is handcuffed. Once they get close to the metal detector, one of the officers uncuffs the individual, who gives another officer a fist bump before walking out of the building.Capitol Police take supposed J6er aside, remove his handcuffs, then give him a...

Dozens if not hundreds of government operatives infiltrated the protests at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Below is an ever expanding list of government operatives The Gateway Pundit and others identified working inside the massive Trump crowd at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. The Gateway Pundit continues to add to this list as we learn more about the planned and choreographed #FedSurrection. INCIDENT 1: The FBI infiltrated the Proud Boys — and their informant exonerated the Proud Boys of any conspiracy. In July 2022 TGP contributor Cara Castronuova released whistleblower documents, text messages, and audio transcripts...

FBI Director Christopher Wray has a curious set of priorities. He bailed out of a Senate hearing in August to use a private jet to take him to a very important personal vacation in the Adirondacks. Wray doesn't like answering questions- especially the critical ones. And so it was once again last Tuesday that Wray refused to answer rather important questions. FBI Director Christopher Wray refused to answer multiple questions Tuesday from a Republican congressman concerning whether FBI sources were embedded among Jan. 6 protesters during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Worldwide Threats to the Homeland. Republican Louisiana...

While we’ve all been heavily focused on the election, the NY Times dropped an important story about Jan. 6 that many didn’t notice. Remember when Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) grilled an FBI official about FBI or confidential human sources (informants) who may have been involved or had knowledge about Jan. 6? The Columbia Bugle 🇺🇸 @ColumbiaBugle · Follow Senator @tedcruz's Full Questioning Of The FBI At Senate Judiciary Hearing Today About Whether There Were FBI Informants Present On January 6th And Ray Epps "How many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of January 6th?"

Sorry but something strange is afoot with Jan 6. We know you know. It’s really strange that Nancy Pelosi just HAPPENED to be all mic’d up with a camera crew following her around on January 6th. Not to mention when you watch it, especially her grandson, it sort of feels like the whole thing was scripted. And what the Hell was Ray Epps doing on top of that tower? Is that Ray Epps?! With a Trump flag? And WHO was he on the phone with? So many questions! Watch: "Oh my god, how did that guy get up there?" January...

A senior Federal Bureau of Investigations official repeatedly refused to answer when grilled by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) at a hearing on Tuesday whether the federal agency participated in the riot at the Capitol building on January 6. Cruz questioned Jill Sanborn, who is executive assistant director of the FBI’s National Security Branch, whether any FBI agents participated in the events that unfolded on January 6, which Democrats have called an insurrection. Cruz asked Sanborn, “How many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of January 6?” She responded, “Sir, I’m sure you can appreciate that I...

A 25-year-old Michigan man on Wednesday was sentenced to 75 months in prison, three years of probation and a $2,500 fine in the Governor Whitmer kidnapping plot. Ty Garbin was the only one out of a dozen men facing federal and state charges in the Whitmer plot who pleaded guilty. ..... Snip..... In October 2020, the FBI announced during a press conference that it thwarted a plot by a so-called “right-wing militia” to kidnap and kill Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and overthrow the state government.

Federal prosecutors are refusing to hand over text messages and laptops from FBI informants in the Whitmer kidnapping case. In October 2020, the FBI announced during a press conference that it thwarted a plot by a so-called “right-wing militia” to kidnap and kill Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and overthrow the state government. The Whitmer kidnapping plot was in the media 24/7 and used to bludgeon Trump with just a few weeks to go until Election Day. The FBI used at least 12 informants in the Michigan Whitmer kidnapping case. There are 6 defendants and 12 FBI informants. According to report...

His exploits were fictionalized in a Hollywood movie, and now the true story of a one-time teenage informant for the FBI has a new twist. Richard Wershe Jr. has filed a $100m (&73m) lawsuit against former FBI agents and prosecutors, alleging child abuse in connection with his time as an informant. Wershe,now 52, spent three decades behind bars after a drug conviction. Recruited at 14, he is thought to be the youngest FBI informant in history...

VIDEOHow hard is it to manipulate a bunch of complete losers especially if you have access to almost unlimited funds? Could this explain the real story behind the kidnapping plot of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer? Watch the video and decide for yourself.

Police in Virginia are investigating a series of violently antisemitic and homophobic flyers targeting a local school board that were distributed by a white supremacist group affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).Flyers denouncing the school board in Fairfax, Va., as “Jew-inspired, communist, qu*er-loving sex fiends violating the words of the Holy Bible” were discovered on Wednesday, ahead of the board’s meeting on Thursday night. The flyers carried the insignia of the “Loyal White Knights,” one of several groups around the country that compose the organized KKK movement, along with the warning that “Yahweh is Watching!”Members of the school board...
