A bombshell report just published in Newsweek details an in-depth, secret operation conducted by the Justice Department before and during January 6. The following from Julie Kelly on tennesseestar.com.
To the casual reader, news that the nation’s top law enforcement agency prepared ahead of time to combat possible violence on January 6 is reassuring.
But to anyone who has closely followed the hyperpartisan activity of the FBI over the past several years, the article reads more like a confession, confirming deep suspicions that the FBI played an instrumental role in prompting the events of that day rather than act as a legitimate police force helping to keep lawmakers and American citizens safe.
And those suspicions are not without merit.
In September, the New York Times confirmed that at least two FBI informants had infiltrated the Proud Boys, an alleged “militia group” that breached the Capitol that day. Defense attorneys disclose in court documents that FBI agents were in the crowd.
The Justice Department’s scandal-ridden prosecution of several men charged with conspiring to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020 continues to reveal disturbing details of how the FBI concocted the plot and managed every aspect until the end. More than a dozen informants and undercover agents executed the scheme—one FBI asset per defendant. Prosecutors continue to tie the kidnapping plot and January 6 together, a legal strategy that could backfire big-time for federal prosecutors.
And, more importantly, several agitators on January 6 including Ray Epps and Stewart Rhodes, who is “Person 1” in the multi-defendant conspiracy case against the Oath Keepers, still have not been charged; neither have dozens of protesters photographed wearing neon orange hats and electrical tape that day.
Now, let’s cut to the chase: What did the FBI do and when did it do it?
The nation is one year past an event that democrats and the Biden regime insist was an attack as grave as 9/11, but the FBI’s involvement on and before January 6 is still unknown.
When asked by U.S. Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) about particular videos how many agents or assets of the government were present on January 6, Attorney General Merrick Garland refused to answer citing privacy concerns about an ongoing investigation.
But Republicans have a duty to insist on getting the answers. The FBI is a corrupt body that has lost the trust of many Americans, including Republicans who’ve historically supported the bureau.
If the FBI infiltrated political groups months ahead of the protest, orchestrated travel plans, and instigated criminal behavior as the FBI apparently did in the Whitmer plot, the American people deserve to know.
And still more questions demand answers, including:
-
Why does the government continue to conceal 14,000 hours of surveillance video taken inside and outside the Capitol building on January 6? If the “attack” was indeed an act of domestic terror, as Wray concluded, the public should see every minute of the footage. Instead, the Justice Department continues to petition the court to keep every clip under a protective order with limited access even to defendants and their attorneys.
-
Who planted the alleged pipe bombs outside the headquarters of the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee on the evening of January 5? That scare prompted the first set of evacuations right as Trump finished his speech at the Ellipse the next day. Considering the excessive powers the FBI has used to hunt down Capitol trespassers, including geofence warrants to collect cell phone data of everyone in the city that day, it’s inexplicable that the perpetrator has not been caught and charged—unless, of course, the perpetrator was a fed.
-
Who gave the orders to D.C. and Capitol police to assault protesters with explosive devices such as flashbangs, pepper balls, rubber bullets, and chemical spray? The unwarranted attacks led to most of the confrontations between police and protesters, resulting in more than 100 charges of assaulting police officers against Capitol protesters. At the same time, the government is concealing the names of officers involved in the alleged attacks, contending they are crime victims and require privacy.
-
Who are the officers who beat, punched, stomped, and maced women inside the lower west terrace tunnel that afternoon? One of the women, Victoria White, faces numerous criminal charges but her brutal attackers have not been identified or charged. In any other case of police brutality, the names of the officers would be released almost immediately. But once again, the rules are different for January 6.
-
Where is the report on the internal investigation into Michael Byrd, the Capitol cop who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt and who remains on the force to this day?
-
Who are the officers who let hundreds of people into the building that afternoon?
-
Why did House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser reject offers for thousands of National Guard soldiers to assist with security on January 6?
-
Where is the full autopsy report on Rosanne Boyland, one of two women who died on January 6? The D.C. coroner claimed she died of an accidental drug overdose, but video and eyewitness accounts support a more sinister culprit: that police contributed to—if not caused—her death at the age of 34. Capitol police officers Aquilino Gonell and Harry Dunn testified that they handled her body before she was officially pronounced dead that evening around 6:00 p.m. What did they do?
Unfortunately, with a few exceptions, Republicans in Washington have shown no appetite for exposing the truth about January 6.
Republican senators have remained completely silent except to go along with the “armed insurrection” narrative and only a handful of Republican House members have called out the Justice Department’s abusive investigation and political prison.
Despicably, democrats have assumed the upper hand for now on all these issues
If Republicans take over Congress next year, they MUST demand a full investigation under a new January 6 select committee. An investigation seeking the truth not one designed to be an array of smoke and mirrors for the purpose of obfuscation as is drunken Nutty Fran Nan’s “investigation.”
