A brand new report is out from Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, investigating the FBI and DOJ role in the infamous “J6” event. And let’s just say the results are being interpreted in two wildly different ways. People like Brian Krassenstein (shudder) are claiming this proves the FBI didn’t have any undercover agents at J6: BREAKING: Another STUPID conspiracy theory proven WRONG: “The FBI Did Not Have Any Undercover Employees at the Ellipse, on the National Mall, or at the Capitol on January 6, ” Says Office of Inspector General after investigation. “We found no evidence in the materials we… pic.twitter.com/NRJacxppW1 — Brian Krassenstein (@krassenstein) December 12, 2024 Which was immediately mocked by many online, by pointing out how ridiculous it is to “investigate yourself and confirm you did nothing wrong”.  Gee, thanks!

Clay Higgins (@RepClayHiggins) December 12, 2024 “The government investigated itself and found it innocent of wrongdoing.” This used to be a punchline. Now it’s the basis of an AP fact check. pic.twitter.com/XnYwR5w8J4 — Cernovich (@Cernovich) January 5, 2022 It’s truly gone from a meme to a real-life news story. But….is this the full story? Not hardly. In fact, the report is massively long and buried in it are several damning details. And perhaps a lot of very carefully minced words, and carefully chosen semantics? Because here’s what the report actually says: The report found that 26 confidential sources—spread across multiple FBI field offices—were present at the Capitol grounds. The majority attended of their own volition or due to pre-existing reporting assignments unrelated to January 6. The report further reveals that among these sources: Four entered the Capitol during the breach. Thirteen entered restricted areas surrounding the Capitol building. The remaining nine did not enter any prohibited zones. BREAKING: FBI had 26 confidential human sources in Washington, D.C., on January 6 in connection with the events of that day. Of those, 13 entered the restricted area on Capitol Hill during the disturbances, and 4 entered the Capitol itself, according to a DOJ Office of the… pic.twitter.com/iAiKeYhrFH — Leading Report (@LeadingReport) December 12, 2024 And how many of those are in prison? I would venture to guess ZERO. According to the DOJ IG report, one of the FBI’s confidential human sources who entered the Capitol on January 6 — a crime for which countless people have gone to jail for years — got his travel expenses to DC on J6 reimbursed by the FBI. pic.twitter.com/Msvm3sQBTt — Greg Price (@greg_price11) December 12, 2024 Kyle Becker has more: BREAKING NEWS: DOJ Watchdog Reveals FBI Had 26 Undercover Operatives in D.C.

During Jan. 6 Riot A new report from Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz has unveiled that the FBI utilized 26 undercover sources during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The findings, part of a long-awaited 84-page report released Thursday, confirm that some of these sources were embedded among the rioters, with four entering the Capitol itself. Horowitz claims that the FBI did not authorize these sources, known as “confidential human sources,” to enter restricted areas or commit illegal acts. The revelation sheds light on a highly scrutinized aspect of the Capitol riot, which led to the DOJ charging over 1,500 individuals in the past four years. Charges have ranged from minor trespassing to serious offenses like assaulting law enforcement. President-Elect Donald Trump is expected to grant clemency to hundreds of peaceful J6 political prisoners upon taking office. You can read the full report here. So….are we finally starting to see things move now that Wray is out? COINCIDENCE? 24 hours after Christopher Wray resigns: 1) The Patriot Front shuts down operations 2) DOJ reveals the FBI had 26 undercover assets on the Capitol grounds on Jan 6th #Trump2024 #MAGA #OnlyKash Just Announced Ray Epps #J6 #FedSurrectionpic.twitter.com/l5q0C6NTCQ pic.twitter.com/Z6Oxuz6m2F — Boca Vista (@bocavista2016) December 12, 2024 And was it all a setup from the very beginning? JANUARY 6th WAS A SETUP! New Inspector General report shows that 26 FBI/DOJ confidential sources were in the crowd on January 6th, and some of them went into the Capitol and restricted areas. Is it a coincidence that Wray put in his resignation notice yesterday? TREASON! pic.twitter.com/L1R9NYTSfv — Clandestine (@WarClandestine) December 12, 2024 Here’s more, from Fox News: Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz said there were more than two dozen confidential human sources (CHSs) in the crowd outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but only three were assigned by the FBI to be present for the event, while stressing that none of the sources was authorized or directed by the bureau to “break the law” or “encourage others to commit illegal acts,” Fox News has learned. Horowitz on Thursday released his highly anticipated report on the FBI’s Handling of its Confidential Human Sources and Intelligence Collection Efforts in the Lead Up to the Jan. 6, 2021 Electoral Certification. “Today’s report also details our findings regarding FBI CHSs who were in Washington, D.C., on January 6,” the report states. “Our review determined that none of these FBI CHSs was authorized by the FBI to enter the Capitol or a restricted area or to otherwise break the law on January 6, nor was any CHS directed by the FBI to encourage others to commit illegal acts on January 6.” The report revealed that the FBI had a minor supporting role in responding on Jan. 6, 2021 — largely because the event was not deemed at the highest security level by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). According to the report, there were a total of 26 confidential human sources in the crowd that day, but only three of them were assigned by the bureau to be there. One of the three confidential human sources tasked by the FBI to attend the rally entered the Capitol building, while the other two entered the restricted area around the Capitol. If a confidential human source is directed to be at a certain event, they are paid by the FBI for their time. “One FBI field office tasked a CHS to travel to DC to report on the activities of a predicated domestic terrorism subject who was separately planning to travel to DC for the January 6 Electoral Certification; a second FBI field office tasked a CHS to travel to DC to potentially report on two domestic terrorism (DT) subjects from another FBI field office who were planning to travel to DC for the events of January 6; and a third CHS, who had informed their handling agent that they intended to travel to DC on their own initiative for the events of January 6, was similarly tasked by their field office to potentially report on two DT subjects from other FBI field offices who were planning to travel to DC for the events of January 6,” the report states. Horowitz stressed that no sources were encouraged or authorized by the FBI to enter the Capitol or any restricted area and stressed that they were not encouraged or authorized to commit any illegal acts. Twenty-three of the confidential human sources present on Jan. 6 came to Washington, D.C., to the Capitol on their own. Of that group, three entered the Capitol during the riot, and an additional 11 sources entered the restricted area around the Capitol. But Horowitz said that investigators “found no evidence in the materials we reviewed or the testimony we received showing or suggesting that the FBI had undercover employees in the various protest crowds, or at the Capitol, on January 6.” As for reimbursements to confidential human sources, Horowitz stated that at least one was “reimbursed” for their travel, even though that CHS “was only tasked with attending the Inauguration and not the electoral certification on January 6.” The FBI, reacting to Horowitz’s report Thursday, said the bureau “did not have primary responsibility for intelligence collection or event security on January 6 but nonetheless ‘recognized the potential for violence and took significant and appropriate steps to prepare forthis supporting role.’ Further, the Report includes the OIG’s analysis regarding the FBI’s use of confidential human sources (CHSs), and concludes that no FBI CHSs ‘were authorized to enter the Capitol or a restricted area or to otherwise break the law on January 6, nor was any CHS directed by the FBI to encourage others to commit illegal acts on January 6.’” Please share.

File this under “just for fun” but I saw this post and two very interesting things about it…. Notice Trump does not use the Gavel! Bye Lady Justice, Hello Common Law! How many times did he ring the bell? See the Gavel lying there! @XRPBrainst0rm @ApeOfMainStree1 @C1Stan @8Notables pic.twitter.com/dhc4d2LBHZ — Susan Wood (@susieq1007) December 12, 2024 First, President Trump does not use the gavel when ringing the NYSE bell this morning. The bell was long ago made electronic and you now push a button instead of physically ringing a bell, but usually what people do is still hit the gavel after the bell is rung. Like this: But President Trump did not do that. In fact, he didn’t even touch the gavel. That’s interesting! And how many times did he ring the bell? I’ve listened to this multiple times and I am pretty sure it’s 47. Watch and see how many “dings” of the bell you count: Notice Trump does not use the Gavel! Bye Lady Justice, Hello Common Law!

Either way, I do count 47 dings, how about you? RELATED REPORT: NYSE Traders To President Trump: “You are our guy!” NYSE Traders To President Trump: "You are our guy!"

Trump was flanked by Vice President-elect JD Vance, incoming first lady Melania Trump, NYSE President Lynn Martin and two of Trump’s children, Ivanka and Tiffany, as the bell chimed. At one point, the room broke into a chant of “U-S-A.” In brief remarks beforehand, Trump promised that his incoming administration would usher in “an economy the likes of which nobody’s ever seen before.” “We’re going to give tremendous incentive like no other country has,” Trump told the moneyed crowd, including by cutting taxes “very substantially.” Listen to the crowd chant "USA": #BREAKING: President Trump just became the first President since Ronald Reagan to ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange All while the crowd screams “USA! and “WE LOVE YOU DONALD!” America is BACK! pic.twitter.com/DFQSQ6yaYN — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) December 12, 2024 Per Fox Business: President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. The Republican built his fortune as a New York real estate investor before turning to politics. During his first term as president, he measured his success in part by the strength of the stock market, which has so far welcomed his re-election. The ringing of the bell signifies the start or closing of the trading day at the world’s largest stock exchange, and is considered an honor. The act has historically been reserved for company executives celebrating an initial public offering or other major corporate milestones, but celebrities and politicians like Ronald Reagan, Nelson Mandela and Arnold Schwarzenegger have also rung it.
