Representative Clay Higgins (R-LA) told Chris Salcedo in an interview with Newsmax that “at least 200” FBI agents were embedded in the crowds during the January 6 Capitol event.
“The FBI was not only involved in the actions on January 6 from within, they had, I suspect, over 200 agents embedded within the crowd, including agents or as they would call, human assets inside the Capitol dressed as Trump supporters before the doors were opened,” he said. “Beyond that, the FBI had embedded themselves and infiltrated online chat groups and websites, and social media accounts across the country with any group that was discussing objections to COVID oppression. And the FBI effectively infiltrated those groups.”
“And when you track the text threads and the communications within those groups and find the origins of suggestions of potential violence or an active occupation of the Capitol on January 6, you’ll find that those messages were led by members of the groups that ended up to be the FBI agents that had infiltrated the group. So the FBI’s involvement was deep, not just on J6, but on the days and weeks and months prior.”
Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk asked on X, “How many decent, ordinary Americans are dead or rotting in the DC Gulag because the FBI entrapped them?”
Discussing the weaponization of the Justice Department, Higgins said, “We’re taking a hard look at rebuilding the whole thing.”
Referring to Special Counsel Jack Smith, who requested a list of X users that “liked” posts from Donald Trump, Higgins stated, “His days are numbered. American patriots are not going to stand idly by and allow our American Republic to dissolve.”
“The leftists will not take our country from us,” he added.
In September, Steven D’Antuono, a former assistant director of the FBI, revealed to the House Judiciary Committee in a closed-door session that the bureau had so many “Confidential Human Sources” (CHSs) from various field offices at the Capitol that they “lost count,” according to a New York Post report.
D’Antuono shared, “We started getting responses back” from the FBI headquarters in order to grasp the extent of the FBI’s undercover operations on that day.
The purpose was to ascertain which field offices had embedded their informants within the masses present.
Highlighting one specific instance, D’Antuono stated that a compensated informant affiliated with the Kansas City field office had relayed to his FBI contact that he was among the throng pushing into the Capitol.
This informant conveyed, “while they were in the crowd, I think, saying that they were going in,” and attempted to intervene in some of the unfolding situations before leaving the scene.
