JUST IN: J6 Bombshell Reveals
Buried deep in the FBI’s headquarters lies a summary of the agency’s actions on Jan. 6, 2021, the day Trump supporters swarmed the Capitol, which has had his opponents hurling the invective “insurrection” ever since.Violence inside the building, including scuffles with members of the Capitol Police, became a focal point in the nation’s debate around political violence. For supporters of Trump, who continue to believe that the vast majority of protestors were peaceful, the possible insertion of FBI agents into the crowd raised questions about whether some instigated violent encounters in order to lay blame on the outgoing president.
An FBI bombshell has finally answered some of those lingering concerns.
On Thursday night, FBI Director Kash Patel released the startling findings of a J6 summary report, which stated that more than 250 plainclothes agents intermingled on the ground that day. Many of the agents later voiced their disagreements with the mission, accusing agency leadership of “wokeness” and faulting them for turning agents into “pawns in a political war” with Trump.
The after-action report lays bare how disorganized the Bureau’s efforts were to monitor activity in the crowd, according to Patel. Scores of agents went on to submit anonymous complaints revealing they were given little guidance and even less protective gear while being sent into an unsafe scenario without a clear objective.
Echoed throughout multiple complaints was a growing worry that then-Director Christopher Wray and former Director James Comey were treating the J6 rioters far differently than those who burned and looted cities during the Black Lives Matter riots earlier that year.
“The FBI should make clear to its personnel and the public that, despite its obvious political bias, it ultimately still takes its mission and priorities seriously,” one employee wrote in a stinging review obtained by Just the News. “It should equally and aggressively investigate criminal activity regardless of the offenders’ perceived race, political affiliations, or motivations; and it should equally and aggressively protect all Americans regardless of perceived race, political affiliations, or motivations.”
That agent urged FBI leaders “to identify viable exit options for FBI personnel who no longer feel it is legally or morally acceptable to support a federal law enforcement and intelligence agency motivated by political bias.”
Another agent suggested that the bias extended beyond the FBI’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., infecting far-flung field offices where agents were being deployed to monitor Trump supporters for possible evidence of domestic terrorism.
