The FBI had at least 26 confidential informants on the ground in Washington, DC, during the Jan. 6, 2021 storming of the Capitol — most of whom engaged in illegal activity during the chaos, the Justice Department’s watchdog confirmed in a bombshell report.

Leadership at the bureau had long been adamant that it did not have sources who “orchestrated” the riot. Questions about whether the FBI had informants involved in the riots were met with “conspiracy theory” labels by many mainstream media outlets.

But the DOJ’s Office of the Inspector General found that of the FBI’s confidential sources on the ground, four entered the Capitol in the midst of the riot and 13 went into a restricted area. Only nine were not found to have engaged in illegal activity, according to a long-awaited report released Thursday.

I would guess those are part of the 275 agents they had there.

I know we already knew in our hearts and minds they seeded rabble rousers, but it's nice to finally have confirmation.

Piss on Pelosi.

Unless the author is mixing terminology (certainly possible), "Confidential Informants" is not the same as "agents."

Agents are law enforcement personnel.

Confidential Informants are civilians, usually less-than-scrupulous civilians with criminal histories, which histories are leveraged by "agents." In local law enforcement, for instance, a low-level drug dealer that's nabbed might be "turned" into a CI in hopes of catching folks higher up the chain, in return for reduced sentencing facing the CI, etc.

And they split the same pack of black ankle socks. I guess they ran out before they got to the guy in the middle and he had to wear his work socks.

anyone with common sense knew this was true and this would happen.

It smelled like a set up from the very beginning. Many on here were saying stay far away from DC on that day

If they were sent by the fbi to incite violence then it’s a distinction without a difference.

I see three Garmin watches. Everyone in black socks paired with outfits no young man would be caught dead with black socks.

The article cited by the OP is from 2024. These 26 confidential informants are in addition to the 275 undercover agents they just announced.

I've seen a few clips now of media saying 300 feds at the event, so you might be right.

It’s not nice.

We knew the entire time.

The left doesn’t care.

Our moderates will memory hole the fact that they called us insane and claim it’s not even a big deal. Of course they had to put agents in the crowd of evil dangerous MAGA white suprematists.


We will never be granted a point, or position, ever again. We are at war with these people. You won nothing by this admission and won’t gain anything from it or any in the future.

Bring them all in, get their statements, you'd think some would admit to being part of a bigger Dem plan.
