FBI undercover employee to Capitol defendant: “Hey brother, you were masked up in the Capitol right?”

Capitol defendant: “Yeah thoroughly. Why?”

FBI UCE: “I keep hearing about good people getting hunted down for this shit. Just
paranoid.”
The D.C. Metropolitan Police Department had an undercover at Freedom Plaza on the morning of Jan. 6, per court documents.

(H/T to PACER whisperer @SeamusHughes)
"DUONG later that day talked again about going into the Capitol and said when he went in, he was 'just recording as like a journalist,' using quotes with his fingers when saying this to indicate his sarcasm.”
Don’t sleep on “raised his hand.”
A common tripwire in the FBI sting: "money's really tight right now.”

“We’re so used to it, the wink and nod lie, you’re talking to a member and they lie to you and we just move on. Now it’s all changed… We cannot fail to call it what it was. It was an insurrection. They tried to destroy democracy.” - ⁦@bresreportsvice.com/en/article/4av…
“It’s eerily back to normal. But sometimes It feels like one of those horror movies, like the end of ‘Jaws.’ Everything feels copacetic on the beach. But you wonder if there’s anything out there.” vice.com/en/article/4av…

My book (working title: Sedition Hunters) will examine how the sprawling FBI manhunt for the Capitol rioters, aided by a smorgasbord of tech-savvy sleuths, will reshape the bureau and 21st century law enforcement.

DMs are open. Signal in bio. Get in touch. #SeditionHunters
The FBI has enlisted the public’s help in manhunts since its foundation (sometimes for good, sometimes… not so much). But the Capitol riot investigation is truly a pivot point for a bureau and the federal government’s approach to domestic terrorism. huffpost.com/entry/sedition…
A partial peek at the research hoard. What other FBI-centric books am I missing?

A FBI affidavit line that never fails to crack me up: "Based on my training experience, I know that marijuana is commonly referred to as weed…”
"The video shows HART pushing the barricade and eventually going around it towards the Capitol… helping to push the barricades until the crowd successfully pushed the barricades against the officers.”
