Antifa Was Planning ‘Armed Attacks’ During Jan 6 Protest, House Lawmaker Reveals

A number of confidential informants wanted the FBI that there was a strong possibility of “armed” conflict at the Capitol on January 6, but that intelligence was not distributed effectively in order to sure up security ahead of the days events, according to a new disclosure from U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), who chairs the GOP-House led investigation on January 6.

While speaking with Just The News, Loudermilk said he was “floored” by the specificity of threats and the consistency in warnings that multiple confidential human sources provided the FBI. He further noted that the warnings were serious enough to have prompted increased security and possibly even a cancellation of President Donald Trump’s speech at the Ellipse hotel that day.

Loudermilk said the intelligence reports came weeks and days in advance of the Capitol riot from about two dozen informants embedded within “radical groups” around the country, adding that many of those informants came to the Capitol to continue assisting the FBI.

“I was surprised that we found this significant intelligence that was derived from these people embedded in these organizations,” Loudermilk told Just The News editor-in-chief John Solomon. “There is no way that at least the Washington Field Office or the FBI headquarters was not aware that there were elements, not the entire crowd. There were elements of people coming to Washington, DC with the intent of attacking the Capitol of the United States.”

I recall at the time hearing of seven busloads of ANTIFAs arriving and changing into 'MAGA' gear near the Capitol, wearing their MAGA hats and shirts backward so as to be able to identify one another.

Within a few days those accounts dried up.

Our friend - who was at the rally and then walked to the Capitol out of curiosity, once he saw so many others heading that way - saw the buses unload dozens of black-clad agitators right after a signal was given. The moment he and his friend witnessed this, they realized it would get ugly, so they got the heck out of there tout de suite.

Your friend did well to pay attention and read the signs. Always keep your head on a swivel, anticipate trouble, and have multiple ways to exit the area.

The guy with him was a gov't contractor, and he knew he could not afford to be caught up in the middle of anything remotely disorderly. They made the smart decision.
