Of Course the FBI Was Infiltrating January 6 Groups
Only Congress can get answers about whether they had a role in radicalizing demonstrators.

The galaxy of media outlets, fact-checkers, and “disinformation” NGOs are in five-alarm fire mode after Tucker Carlson broached the subject of infiltrators and provocateurs at the January 6 Capitol riot.
Before reviewing any of the existing details, we should note that no left-wing journalist would have the same reservations about raising this issue if the protest was left-wing, or if the alleged violent extremists were Muslims. Just last year the Intercept was extremely concerned about infiltration and escalation within left-wing groups by the FBI, but the idea that they might do the same to right-wingers is somehow beyond the pale.
Thus, the Revolver news article that kicked off last week’s interest in infiltrators begins with Senator Klobuchar’s absurd question to FBI Director Christopher Wray. She asks if he found himself wishing “if we could have infiltrated” some of the groups involved in Jan. 6.
Wray responds it’s a subject he’s “passionate” about. I’m sure he is.
Here’s the bottom line. You’re not crazy to want to know about the role of federal informants in Jan. 6, for three main reasons:
This sort of infiltration has been routine in right-wing groups for decades, and it’s also routine for informants to goad other participants into more extreme acts.
There is considerable evidence that informants played key roles in these groups, including as leaders in some of the more extreme ones.
Loads of video and electronic evidence is being withheld from the public.
