Little by little, the real story of what happened on January 6 is trickling out. Will the Left’s attempts to use the January 6 incident to criminalize their opposition be stopped in time? Or will it roll on in blithe defiance of the facts at hand?
“20 Federal ‘Assets’ Embedded at Capitol on Jan. 6, Court Filing Says,” by Joseph M. Hanneman, Epoch Times, April 12, 2022:
At least 20 FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives “assets” were embedded around the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, a defense attorney wrote in a court filing on April 12.
The disclosure was made in a motion seeking to dismiss seditious conspiracy and obstruction charges against 10 Oath Keepers defendants in one of the most prominent Jan. 6 criminal cases.
David W. Fischer, attorney for Thomas E. Caldwell of Berryville, Virginia, filed a 41-page motion to dismiss four counts on behalf of all Oath Keepers case defendants before U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta in Washington, D.C.
Caldwell is charged in the indictment, but is not a member of the Oath Keepers, he told The Epoch Times in March.
“At least 20 FBI and ATF assets were embedded around the Capitol on J6,” read a footnote on Page 6 of the motion. No other details were provided in the document.
The footnote said defense attorneys “combed through a mountain of discovery,” including FBI form 302 summaries of interviews conducted by FBI agents.
In addition to the information about law-enforcement assets on the ground at the Capitol, the footnote says, the Oath Keepers “were being monitored and recorded prior to J6.”
Poring over evidence turned over in discovery by prosecutors in two major Oath Keepers cases has “not found one iota of proof” that defendants “had any plan, intention, design, or scheme to specifically enter the Capitol Building on J6,” the motion said….
“Fact check: Claims of FBI role in Jan. 6 Capitol attack are false,” by McKenzie Sadeghi, USA Today, June 25, 2021:
…In the months following the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the United States Capitol by rioters seeking to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, conservative media personalities have attempted to downplay the insurrection and shift blame….
Now, claims that undercover FBI agents were behind the Capitol insurrection are circulating on social media.
“Evidence surfaces that the FBI planned and executed January 6 Capitol riot,” the Tatum Report wrote in a June 17 Instagram post….
But that theory relies on a false assumption: that anyone identified as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in charging documents is a government agent.
In fact, legal experts say that term cannot be used to describe FBI agents or undercover government operatives. Charging documents and other evidence indicate that the Jan. 6 rioters included Trump supporters, conspiracy theorists and members of far-right groups….
somehistory says
And the liars and the no-nothing-know-it-all smart alecks, will not admit that they were wrong. people like the one quoted above, will either ignore the evidence or say it’s just another falsehood meant to “shift blame.”
the “blame” is all on the side of the ones who arranged to have the guards open doors and allow people inside and then line up to shoot innocent people and to have others milling around in the crowd, inciting them to do what they would later charge them with doing…without the doing having happened.
the name “pelosi” comes to mind.
Don McKellar says
I’m still wondering who that woman in the dark glasses and disguise with a bullhorn was. She gave the trespassers directions and knew the building inside and out, as she coached them from an open window. I still remember seeing that video and it seemed obvious to me she was a a plant setting them up.

Her name is Rachel Powell. She has about a half-dozen charges pending against her in connection with the Jan. 6 riot. The latest I could find about her trial is that she was given a 60-day extension to consider a plea deal. That was at the end of January so we should be hearing more about her sometime very soon. Here is a link to some info about her:

David M says
Yes but Mr Provocateur himself Ray Epps was not arrested. The only possible explanation for Ray Epps not being arrested is because as an FBI resource he was doing exactly as he was told when he was directing people to be violent.

“blithe defiance” for $1,000, Robert.

It was a set-up. By now if one is interested in the truth, they must know this, though some Trump supporters foolishly played into this set-up. Even, arguably, President Trump himself.
Meanwhile in 2020, before January 6th, 2021, over 500 major riots occurred in American cities and Democrats aplenty were pushing these riots forward, actually encouraging them, two examples among so many being the wretched Nancy Pelosi saying, “I don’t know why there aren’t more uprisings, maybe there will be.” And the moron who is Kamala Harris posting bail for thugs in Minnesota.
Yes, a federal building in Portland, Oregon which was torched again and again, the Summer of Love rubbish in Seattle, a Wendy’s burned down in Atlanta, untold number of statues destroyed, over 1,000 policemen injured, some two dozen people killed, including at least one policeman in Missouri—all this is nothing and yet a three-hour walk-through of the Capitol where a few windows were broken and the only person killed a Trump supporter, i.e., Ashley Babbitt, is a major threat to our democracy. Right.
Can’t get more phony than this and what did President Trump say on January 6th of 2021 to those assembled in DC protesting what was clearly a stolen election, to wit, “Protest peacefully and patriotically.” Yet January 6th is the great threat to the American Republic. What bullshit. Anyone averring or believing this is either a liar or a fool or both. All kinds of buildings were not off limits in 2020, including the old Saint John’s Church in DC, but, oh, the Capitol, well, this is off limits, even though the damage done to the Capitol was highly minimal. Can’t have that, now can we?
Sick of this shit as I am of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, both useful idiots par excellence. The January 6th committee is a Kangaroo Court and one knows this or should know it. No exceptions.

BLM and Antifa also tried to burn down the Alameda County Courthouse in Oakland California numerous times. I’ sure there are many other examples.
Walter Sieruk says
Concerning that event of January 6th 2021. It definitely was not an “insurrection” that the pro-Trump American patriots took on that day. They had no weapon and were not attempting to over through the US government.
The only people killed, murdered on that terrible day were two peaceful unarmed American patriots plus another one almost brutally murdered, all of the women, by those leftist appointed Capital “police” I use that word “police’ very loosely when applying to them because those politically correct” Capital “police” would never make it , qualify , to join a genuine police force . State or local, because of the background check and other good requirement that real men have to good under before being accepted by the police force.
It was a schemed left- wing set- up. The Pro –Trump American patriots had even been waved into the federal building by smiling Capital police.
I use the word “police” in referring to them very loosely because most of them are leftist politically correct appoint “police.” They would never qualified to be genuine police officers by standards of the real local and State throughout America.
This is tragic and sad beyond belief. America now has political prisoner under that despicable and wicked Biden/Harris administration. Those American patriots at that pro-Trump rally are still in prison and are often beaten by the guards. It sounds much like old Soviet Russia.
In contrast the BLM and Antifa hooligans committed worse actions of violence than the American Patriots are accused on doing at their so called “rallies” riots.
Nevertheless those Antifa and BLM thugs aren’t in prison. With Biden and Harris the USA is falling into tyranny.
In addition, one of the Antifa leaders had let it slip out that he and the other heads of Antifa had bused to the pro-Trump rally many of their Antifa operatives to infiltrate into that Patriot rally, then posing as “real patriots” they deliberately incited mayhem.
gravenimage says
All true, Walter–calling this an “insurrection” is ludicrous.
Walter Sieruk says
What about the human rights of the person murdered in cold blood by the name of Ashli Babbitt ?
On January 6th 2021 at Washington DC the patriots were waved in that government building by the Capital police. What a setup. That was totally unconscionable of those politically correct fiendish villains.
It’s been discovered and proven that the Capital police officer had viciously shot dead Ashli Babbitt thorough a closed then she was not engaging in any type of violence and the Capital officer who shot her was a Black man which is part of the cover up. Later that murderous Capital officer was “cleared” as in he escaped punishment because of the heinous influence and power in those politically correct leftist in the US government. So that awful man literally got away with murder ,That murderous escaped justice. This country is no longer a nation of “Justice for all”
The point in mentioning that is to think of a the national politically correct outrage and even riots that would occur if a White Capital police officer had shot dead a BLM rioter , for any reason ,no matter how valid that reason was.
Walter Sieruk says
About the most tragic despicable murder of a very good person, Ashli Babbitt, who was also an American patriot by a vicious Black Capitol police officer. To actually call that malicious and murderous man a “police officer” is an actual insult to all decent trustworthy police officers.
Ashil Babbitt along with other pro-Trump patriots was waved , as in welcomed into the Federal building , a setup, that malice filled “officer” shot Ashli dead through a closed door in cold blood. She was non-violent, unarmed and behaving peacefully.
Just think of what a terrible fuss the left wing “news” media would raise if a White police officer shot and killed a Antifa and BLM terrorist who was really up in violence ,as criminal destructive in riots as many of those two Marxist hooligans did in many American cities last year.”
All the people of the radical left would carry on terribly about such a deadly shooting of an Antifia and BLM lawless ruffian who was provoking a White police officer. In contrast Ashli Babbitt was not acting in a provoking way.
This politically correct double standard is extremely unfair, unjust and blatantly wrong. This is indeed a “No justice” tragedy. So no longer can America be referred to as a nation “with justice for all.”
In addition, that villain Joe Biden, after he got into the Office of the President then abused the power of that Office to cover-up that vicious cold blood murder of Ashli Babbitt, what an unconscionable thing of Biden to do. Still what else may anyone expect but wicked actions by that evil man.
It was the Antifa thugs who had been bused to Washington DC on January 6th who posed in the Patriot rally as “Trump supporters” who created and incited all that mayhem. That scheme that the Antifa Marxists carried out by infuriating the Patriot rally is what is called “A false flag operation.”
Walter Sieruk says
That despicable fiendish villain who is posing as a real US President ,Joe Biden ,who is so extremely evil that he takes a large part in a heinous cover-up in the blatant murder of Ashli Babbitt, a non-violent ,unarmed peaceful patriot protester who shot and murdered , though a closed door by a US Capital “police officer..” The word “police officer” ,Byrd,when referring to murderous character, who viciously killed Ashil in cold blood. After she and other American patriots had actually been waved in that Federal government building by some “Capital police officers” . That was a real, actual “set up” in the most horrendous, wicked insidious kind there could possibly be.
Then Biden after he officially entered the Office of the US Presidency abused that power as a Chief Executive to hide that grisly murder of this young patriot from the public, the ,law courts , and helped get that murderous off with total impunity.
This among other hideous unconscionable affront by Joe Biden reveals now more than ever before that Biden is not a genuine US President but an actual criminal.

If these lawyers are truly interested in their clients and the absolute inane accusations holding them in the DC GULAG without bail, they need to consider the two illegal passport-overstay since 2006 Pakistani nationals posing as DHS investigators who managed to bribe 4 super-duper US Secret Service agents assigned to Biden detail and Harris, gained access to the White House as well the the VP residence. 2 of the stellar Capitol Police known for their shenanigans also were bribed by the same two illegal aliens from Pakistan with lavish gifts and paid for swanky apartments by the Naval Yard, were arrested Friday April 8, 2022 for impersonating federal law enforcement, bribery, possession of guns, knives, breaching equipment, machinery to falsify US passports, fake ID, and on and on, according to US Attorneys in charging documents.
Thursday April 14, 2022, a DC judge refused to accept the US Attn indictment of a “long game of bribery and deception” or their stated connections to Pak ISI, that the charges were too fantastical…then released them. No bail was mentioned. US atty argued for extreme flight risk the judge didn’t seem too concerned about.
Those J6 defense attorneys should find out how two paki nationals here illegally who bribed their way into the White House and VP residence got a DC judge to release them back into the community but their clients have the real fantasy charges with abusive guards to the lecturing of the judges without bail, and these people are tax paying American citizens!
This is the most disgusting example of the coming persecution that is ramping up as we watch.
tgusa says
American men with gear dressed like they are going hunting while wearing bicycle helmets make me suspicious.
The message to Americans is, you will tolerate the fraud, or else. Its looking like their could have been upwards of 5 million fraudulent votes. In strategic locations you can change an election.
It makes me sick when I think of those still confined, mostly for the high offense of, trespassing. DC can fly or bus in foreigners in to our communities at night under cover of darkness at our expense, but don’t trespass on DC grounds for a day…..or else.
In opposition, democrats always revert to the, that’s not who we are, excuse. Well, we all know what you are now.
Andrew Blackadder says
I know this American guy that told me Trump TOLD these fascist supporters of his to STORM the Capital building so I asked him to go back and watch and hear the actual speech, the actual words Trump said..
He gets back to me and says… Yeah Trump told them to storm the building…. Ya cant fix that kind of stupid…
Walter Sieruk says
Concerning the mayhem which occurred of January 6th 2021 on of the Antifa/Marxist leaders had led it slip out that he had gathered a bus full of his Antifa operatives and took them into Washington DC on that day and he had them masquerading as pro-Trump American patriots in infiltrated into the real pro-Trump Patriots at the US Capital and then act up in violence and incite chaos.
That is an old low despicable deceptive insidious ploy that is called “A false Flag operation.”
Walter Sieruk says
That was indeed a leftist set up on January 6th, 2021. First of all President Trump said nothing to those American patriots that was wrong or inappropriate that might encourage violent mayhem. The people of the left have no recorded proof, let alone evidence to go credence to the claim that President Trump did. Nevertheless the leftists still say he did. This only serves as an example of that the leftist, Socialist and Marxists and so forth are not above using sander against their political opponents. They are chronic liars, just as Joe Biden is.
Furthermore, President Trump wanted to send into Washington DC the National Guard for mob control.
Yet Nancy Pelosi stopped the President from doing so . Pelosi had therefore really shares of the guilt, with others as Antifa, when things got out of control.
In addition, related to that above statement is that one of the Antifa leader later let it slip out the he had a bus full of his Marxist/ Anfita operatives enter Washington DC on that day and had them masquerade as “pro- Trump protesters” and had them infiltrate into and among the real American Patriot protesters to incite violence chaos ls and mayhem among the few immature and impressionable patriots.
That despicable tactic is a old low ploy which called “a false flag operation.”
Moreover, some of real patriot who had in arrested and imprisoned didn’t engage in violence harm anyone or break anything. They had even been waved into the federal building by smiling Capital police officers. Other arrested were even non-violent standing outside of the Federal building.
That was a real set up.
By the way , I use the term “police officers” very loosely when referring to those “capital police” because many of them are only leftist politically correct appointed “police” who would never have qualified the strict requirements need to join a genuine police force.
The people who died that day at that place were non-violent, unarmed pro-Trump patriots. One of them an unarmed peaceful protester inside the Federal building , by a Capitol police officer ,Byrd, who even had a history of disciplinary problems before January 6th . Still because of the politically correct power that murders was never charged.
Other patriot who was also unarmed and peaceful was beaten to death by about so called “police officer in a nearby tunnel. That thug and a “police officer” also got away with it , Scott free.
Another peaceful patriot was almost beaten to death but terrible harmed by those capital “police.”
All three of those innocent victims were young women. Those violent and vicious leftists hooligans appointed as “Capital police” are a disgrace and dishonor to all real, genuine, police officers across the United States.
