So not only did FBI have at least 8 informants embedded in Proud Boys before Jan 6, its leader was working with DC Metro Police to let them know the group's plans that day.
DOJ now strong-arming cop, threatening to charge him if he testifies for defense: apnews.com/article/capito…
Lamond, an intelligence officer for the police force, was responsible for monitoring groups like the Proud Boys. Tarrio regularly communicated with Lamond before the Proud Boys came to the capital city to discuss the 'purpose of the trip, the agenda, and the location.'"
Again...
HOW MANY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES COMMUNICATED WITH THESE GROUPS BEFORE JANUARY 6?
As I've said over and over, DC was crawling with undercover cops incl FBI, DC Metro, Capitol Police, etc.
Either they let it happen or they were involved in planning the events of that day.
Tarrio was arrested on Jan 5 not for planning an "insurrection!" but for burning a BLM flag in December 2020.
This is why Jan 6 committee wants to omit any criticism of law enforcement incl FBI and Capitol Police.
They were either totally incompetent boobs or accomplices--pick.

Feds want life in prison for homeless guy who lived in dilapidated cellar of vacuum repair shop for plotting to “kidnap” Gretchen Whitmer.
After jury hung in 1st trial, Adam Fox was convicted in August (thanks to very active judge 2nd time around.) amgreatness.com/2022/12/08/the…
DOJ: “For Fox’s paranoid fantasies of government ‘tyranny,’ one need look no further than the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The defendant’s plan to use homemade explosive devices to kill and maim recalls the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.”
The plot only existed in the “paranoid fantasies” of the FBI. Fearful Trump would win re-election, agents and informants cooked up the plan to make it look like right-wing terrorists tried to kidnap one of Trump’s biggest political foes.
Lots of breaking news today--DOJ wants life in prison for the guy who lived in the basement of a Michigan vacuum repair shop without running water set up by the FBI to make it look like "domestic terrorists" loyal to Trump tried to kidnap and kill Gretchen Whitmer in 2020.
Oh man, this sentencing memo is something.
GUY WITH NO TOILET GONNA START A SECOND REVOLUTION
Prosecutors got the year wrong--they mean January 2021--but connect Whitmer fednapping to Jan 6.
More narrative-building by DOJ.
I say it's time to look at all the similarities between Whitmer fednapping and Jan 6, right?
I want to revisit this Newsweek piece from yesterday confirming the absurdity of FBIs claims that domestic violent extremists (i.e., Trump supporters) pose a top threat.
Chris Wray for 4 years has made that claim but refused to disclose statistics...
because no data supports it. We now know the bureau is fudging the numbers to justify Wray's accusations--intended to help Democrats and hurt Republicans, of course--in another blatant political move by FBI.
What Wray is doing is forcing 56 field offices to label any Jan 6 arrest as a domestic terror incident---even tho overwhelming majority of charges are misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies like obstruction.
Cooking the books big time--but even with that sleight-of-hand...
After refusing to provide data to support claims that "domestic terrorism" is a top threat, FBI officials give the stats to Newsweek
"Of 2,700 open cases, where an individual or group of individuals has been designated domestic terrorists by the FBI, almost a third relate...
to the 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol or subsequent political activity connected to it."
"Counter-terrorism agencies have also focused on the transnational links of domestic individuals and groups—an approach that provides the agencies more authority to conduct surveillance."
Translation: Fabricate ties to foreigners to violate laws against spying on US citizens.
Ashli Babbitt, Rosanne Boyland, Benjamin Phillips, and Kevin Greeson (fatalities from Jan 6 either wholly or partially due to excessive force) unavailable for comment.
After covering Jan 6 for almost 2 years, what outrages people most is the egregious disparity in the handling of J6ers and Floyd rioters. Indefinite pretrial detention, bankruptcy, excessive prison sentences for the former—victimhood for the latter:
