It was more like a rowdy party than a riot.

It CERTAINLY wasn't an "insurrection".

Called so has to make it an extremely weak riot and the biggest joke of an insurrection the world has ever seen. There were no firearms and the government was back certifying the votes that same evening.

Insurrection...PFFFFFT!!!

WHAT A FARCE❗️

The riot happened as Trump was speaking. So the people there at his speech were essentially not involved.

So why did he request additional security, a request that was turned down by Pelosi. Perhaps Pelosi, along with Wray, were the ones who were not at all surprised when their plans came to fruition.

Anyone who actually thinks that the government number is accurate is a fool. They just ignored a whole bunch of non FBI people who were there taking orders from the official FBI folks. Or they were there off the record IE did not get paid or reimbursed. The 24 give or take were the ones they couldn’t ignore because they got paid or had paper work records.

Most three letter agencies and cabinet level departments have police-like armed agents. So, no FBI agents. How about ATF, DHS, IRS, FDA, etc., etc., ad infinitum.

Trump cares about ONE thing - Trump. Here is an example of an OUTRIGHT LIE which right wing publications don't point out. Trump told moderator Kristen Welker, claiming without evidence that the Jan 6 committee "deleted and destroyed" the testimony they collected.

They didn't. Just another trump lie. It started from Rep. Barry Loudermilk, of GA, had told Fox News in a story published on Aug. 8, 2023, that the committee hadn’t adequately preserved some documents, data and video depositions. The same day, Trump took that argument further, posting on his social media platform: “The January 6th Unselect Committee got rid of EVERYTHING! Discarded, Deleted, Thrown Out. A Flagrant Violation of the law.” Loudermilk’s original claim didn’t allege that the committee’s records were destroyed, rather, he raised concerns over what materials needed to be archived. In a letter to Loudermilk on July 7, 2023, Rep. Bennie Thompson, who chaired the committee, reported that more than a million records had been prepared for publication and archiving in coordination with several governmental offices, including the National Archives and Records Admin and the Committee on House Admin. The evidence collected by the committee is still publicly available on a government website.

By the way, we should also not forget the person who placed the alleged pipe bomb at the DNC the evening before J6 and was captured on security cameras talking on a cell phone. The FBI told Congress that the phone data was corrupted and gosh, gee, we wish we could find him but can’t. Earlier this month, those phone companies revealed that actually no, the data hadn’t been corrupted and that they gave the FBI everything they’d asked for. Could it be because that individual was also an informant? Inquiring minds, and all that…

Don't buy it. The IG report is BS. BTW, the IG's are all deep state. That's why there is never accountability for the crimes of career politicians.

Back to J6: There were closer to 200 DOJ/FBI/Intelligence linked agitators there. They will never admit the truth. This "news" is a limited hangout and gross understatement of what happenedd that day.

This is a link to the most convincing article I have come across in my research about what happened that day and why it did - I highly recommend it:

But outlets like Politico and Reuters, and NYT, USA Today ofc, are saying the Report shows no evidence that Fed operatives were involved or 'instructed' to do anything. They were just there, then? Not to mention the Report fails to mention that there's no evidence they were NOT involved either.

As for Jan 6. I can't believe it's taken this long. I hope they know. If they do not correct and free these people and cleanse their records .. nothing else is going to matter. Free theinnocent entrapped political prisoners first and then move on from there. They shouldn't be there not even one more second.

And nor will they be sacrificed all in the name of nothing

Really. Is this a bridge too far for the Republicans what a loathsome group of useless.

Thanks this is me adding on to my original comment. Thought I'd start with the positive stuff first.

Some trouble makers showed up with gas masks and batons and bear spray that were Antifa Leftists that showed up at the Capital for the sole purpose of creating a scene and causing trouble.

Those trouble makers weren't at Trump's speech at the other end of The Mall. They were dropped off at the Capital. Implants. The Capital was PURPOSELY left under guarded with WAY less officers than that was needed. There are interviews of Capital Police where they say that they pleaded for more officers well before January 6th and were DENIED.

A similar staging tactic was used to try to stage a Governor Whitmer' "Kidnapping".

Feds were CAUGHT attempting to incite that kidnapping and it was revealed in court and the innocent people were acquitted.

You might be fooled by the so-called "Insurrection" at the Capital but most are not. (Hence Trump was re-elected)

Study the footage, which was purposely withheld, and the truth behind that staged "Insurrection" is revealed.

No government has ever or will ever be overthrown with batons and pepper spray.

There was no Insurrection.

Trump never incited any violence. He told everyone over and over again to be peaceful.

Stop making stuff up because those with eyes and ears and any sense of discernment can see through your plots to make innocent people look guilty.

STOP IT. IT'S EVIL.

Quit trolling on here, NWCitizen. Go back to your CNN and other Fake News outlets who feed you the propaganda lies.

GTFO❗️👍🏿👍🏼

TX AG Paxton started the conspiracy theory : “Those who stormed the capitol yesterday were not Trump supporters. They have been confirmed to be Antifa,”

Paxton’s post cited two sources: a screenshot of a tweet by right-wing journalist Paul Sperry and a screenshot of a Washington Times article with the headline, “Facial recognition firm claims antifa infiltrated Trump protestors who stormed capitol.”

The tweet, claiming a busload of "antifa thugs" had been dropped off at the Capitol, was deleted and remains completely unsubstantiated. The newspaper has since retracted the report, and the company it cited as a source, XRVision, has said its software identified two members of a Neo-Nazi organization and a Q-Anon supporter, not members of antifa."

As far as I know this is a a public forum and the author of this substack is the one who decides if she wants to suppress other voices.

"The AP does reassure its readers that 'no undercover agents were present.'"

...know what THAT means? It means that undercover agents were present.

"...here, they’re claiming no undercover agents but admitting there were both paid informants and those who’d been paid by the FBI before..."

Sorry – NOT – they may not have held the title of Agent, but they were agents nonetheless.

It's time for another Church Committee investigation, and with teeth.

Along with that accounting, there needs to be accountability, and consequences that range from never holding a well-paying government position with a security clearance ever again, to time in prison: Marion, Florence, Beaumont, or Thomson.

I don't know who the DoJ official is who is talking a lot without actually saying anything, but I had to stop watching half-way through.

Were I charged with the authority, I'd revoke the passport of every current FBI agent, supervisor, and employee regardless of grade; of every official in the DoJ; and all would be placed on no-fly lists to prevent their fleeing the country.

The IG report says that 26 FBI informants were in Washington for election-related protests. No undercover FBI employees were at the riot on Jan. 6 and that none of the bureau’s informants were authorized to participate. Informants, also known as "confidential human sources", work with the FBI to provide information, but are not on the bureau’s payroll. The 17 informants entered the Capitol or surrounding restricted area were not authorized to do so. The 17 informants were not charged because the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington said that it “generally has not charged those individuals whose only crime on January 6, 2021 was to enter restricted grounds surrounding the Capitol, which has resulted in the Office declining to charge hundreds of individuals; and we have treated the CHSs [informants] consistent with this approach.”

THe IG report does NOT say that the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was a setup by the FBI.

I remember Back to the Future well. I looked up the cocaine entrapment case which led to Delorian being acquitted. Deception is still a tool used by the FBI and is not always illegal. In portland about 10 years ago, a youth decided he wanted to set off a bomb at a tree lighting ceremony. The fbi got wind of it and posed as accomplices. The guy actually made a phone call that he thought would trigger a bomb in a.parked car. There was no bomb but he was convicted.
