Un informe posterior a los hechos obtenido por Just the News reveló que 274 agentes del FBI estuvieron presentes en o cerca del Capitolio durante el 6 de enero.

Agentes del FBI enviaron quejas al equipo de evaluación posterior, detallando que la situación no era segura y señalando que la agencia se había politizado.

“Éramos una organización apolítica, pero ya no lo veo así desde abajo hacia arriba. Hemos sido usados como peones en una guerra política, y el liderazgo del FBI cayó en la trampa y ha permitido que suceda”, comentó un agente anónimo. “Se supone que debemos cantar bolas y strikes, sin importar la presión política, ahora ni siquiera se puede confiar en nosotros para estar en el campo”.

Otro agente pidió a los líderes “identificar opciones de salida viables para el personal del FBI que ya no considera legal o moralmente aceptable apoyar a una agencia federal de inteligencia y aplicación de la ley motivada por sesgo político”, informó Just the News.

La información se suma a un informe de 2024 del entonces inspector general del Departamento de Justicia, Michael Horowitz, quien descubrió que más de dos docenas de fuentes humanas confidenciales estuvieron presentes en la multitud durante la protesta del 6 de enero de 2021 en el Capitolio de EE.UU.

Tres de las 26 fuentes humanas confidenciales recibieron instrucciones de “informar sobre sujetos específicos de casos de terrorismo doméstico que posiblemente asistieran a los eventos del 6 de enero”. Uno de los informantes entró al Capitolio, mientras que los otros dos ingresaron a un área restringida alrededor del Capitolio.

Un documento compartido por el Subcomité Selecto sobre el 6 de enero, presidido por el representante Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), explica que los 274 agentes incluyen aquellos “que respondieron a los terrenos del Capitolio, así como dentro del Capitolio, las bombas de tubo, y el camión rojo que se creía contenía dispositivos explosivos, así como CDC/ADC”.

Hundreds of FBI Agents Present During Jan 6

An after-action report obtained by Just the News revealed that 274 FBI agents were present at or near the Capitol during January 6.

FBI agents sent complaints to the after-action team, detailing that the situation was unsafe and noting that the bureau had become politicized.

“We were once an apolitical organization, but I no longer see us as such looking from the ground up. We have been used as pawns in a political war, and FBI leadership fell into the trap and has allowed it to happen,” one anonymous agent commented. “We are supposed to call balls and strikes, regardless of political pressure, now we can’t even be trusted to be on the field.”

Another agent called upon leaders to “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,” Just the News reported.

The information builds upon a 2024 report from then-Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who found that more than two dozen confidential human sources were present in the crowd during the January 6, 2021, protest at the U.S. Capitol.

Three of the 26 confidential human sources were instructed to “report on specific domestic terrorism case subjects who were possibly attending the events of January 6.” One of the informants entered the Capitol, while the other two entered a restricted area surrounding the Capitol.

A document shared by the Select Subcommittee on January 6, chaired by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), explains that the 274 agents include those “that responded to the Capitol grounds as well as inside the Capitol, the pipe bombs, and the red truck that was believed to contain explosive devices as well as CDC/ADCs.”

Syracuse Hate Crime: Two Students Charged for Anti-Semitic Attack on Jewish Fraternity

Two Syracuse University freshmen are now facing hate crime charges after police say they threw pork into a Jewish fraternity house during a Rosh Hashanah dinner. Authorities said the incident occurred Tuesday evening at Zeta Beta Tau, a historically Jewish fraternity, as students gathered for the High Holy Day.

Onondaga County district attorney William Fitzpatrick explained the severity: “Due to the date being the Jewish High Holy Day of Rosh Hashanah, it being dinner time, the food thrown being pork with obvious religious implications to the Jewish faith and the well-known fact that ZBT is a Jewish fraternity,” the act is being prosecuted as a hate crime. The suspects, both 18, pleaded not guilty to burglary as a hate crime and criminal nuisance charges.

“This incident is not a foolish college prank and will not be treated as such,” Fitzpatrick’s office said. “It will be treated for what it is, a crime directed against a group of Jewish students enjoying a celebratory dinner and seemingly secure in their residence.” Syracuse University echoed that stance, with chief student experience officer Allen Groves calling the act “abhorrent” and “deeply troubling.”

The attack comes amid a nationwide surge in anti-Semitism. The Anti-Defamation League reported more than 10,000 anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S. since Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel, including at least 1,200 on college campuses—a 500 percent increase from the year before.

Kamala Harris’s Joe Rogan Interview Snub: Excuse in Book Raises Eyebrows

Former vice president Kamala Harris now claims her decision to skip the Joe Rogan interview in 2024 came down to logistics. In her new book 107 Days, Harris says flying from a Houston campaign rally to Joe Rogan’s Austin studio—less than an hour by plane—“wasn’t feasible.”

Harris recalls that she “really wanted to do” Rogan’s podcast, but campaign aides “argued it was a bad idea.” Rogan’s team offered to host her the morning after her Houston rally on reproductive rights. “They said they could do it at 8:30 a.m., not later, as Joe had ‘commitments,'” Harris writes. “I had commitments as well, and it wasn’t feasible to get from Houston to Austin by 8:30 a.m.”

The explanation has drawn scrutiny, given that Harris routinely traveled on Air Force 2 and her campaign spent $2.6 million on private flights in October 2024 alone. Commercial travelers can make the trip from Houston to Austin in under an hour.

Rogan disputes Harris’s version of events. “She had an opportunity to come here when she was in Texas. I literally gave them an open invitation,” Rogan said. “I said, ‘Any time, if she’s done at 10 o’clock, I’ll come back here at 10 o’clock.’ I go ‘I’ll do it at nine in the morning, I’ll do it at 10 p.m., I’ll do it at midnight.'”

Her refusal to sit down with Rogan—who hosts one of the most influential platforms in the country—illustrates the campaign’s fear of unfiltered media moments.

ArabCon Democrats: Rising Party Stars Align With Anti-Israel Radicals

A trio of prominent Democrats are set to appear at ArabCon, an anti-Israel convention in Dearborn, Michigan, that features speakers with records of praising Hamas and spreading anti-Semitism. Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), and Michigan lieutenant governor Garlin Gilchrist (D) are all on the schedule, raising questions about the Democratic Party’s growing ties to extremist figures.

El-Sayed will host a “Meet the Candidate” session, Gilchrist will headline the gala dinner, and Khanna will join left-wing commentator Cenk Uygur for a panel on Israel’s “genocide in Gaza.” The conference, organized by the American-Arab Discrimination Committee, advertises itself as bringing together “America’s most revolutionary voices.”

Among those voices is Rabab Abdulhadi, a professor who has organized events with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a U.S.-designated terrorist group. She defended the Hamas terrorists who attacked Israel on Oct. 7 as “merely defending themselves.” Other speakers include Lara Sheehi, who called Hamas fighters “martyrs,” and Zahra Billoo, who mourned Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, saying, “his martyrdom is not in vain.”

Dearborn mayor Abdullah Hammoud, who recently berated a local pastor as a “racist” and “Islamophobe” for objecting to honoring a Hamas sympathizer, will open the event. El-Sayed, a close ally, has remained silent on the controversy.

Khanna defended his appearance, saying, “I have never been to a conference where I agree with every speaker, but speaking at ArabCon is important.” Yet with ArabCon’s record of hosting those who openly support terrorist organizations, the Democrats’ presence signals more than simple disagreement—it shows a willingness to share the stage with individuals who have praised Hamas as “armed resistance.”

Big Law Goes Woke: Top Firms Move Left Despite U.S. Shift Right

Attorneys at America’s largest law firms are leaning harder left, even as the broader electorate trends rightward. A new study shows Big Law donations favored Democrats by a staggering 12-to-1 ratio in 2024, highlighting a growing disconnect between elite legal circles and the rest of the country.

Derek Muller, a professor at Notre Dame Law School, found that firms within the AmLaw 100 donated $52 million to Democrats and just $4 million to Republicans during the 2024 election cycle. Muller admitted he was “surprised to see such a stark shift, in only four years.” In 2020, the ratio stood at 6-to-1.

This sharp turn comes even as voters delivered former president Donald Trump a six-point popular vote swing in 2024 and shifted more than 89 percent of U.S. counties in his favor compared to 2020. Yet, at elite firms, more than 99 percent of employee donations at 16 of the top 100 firms went exclusively to Democrats. Not a single firm gave the majority of its donations to Republicans.

Trump has clashed with these firms, signing executive orders targeting Perkins Coie and Jenner & Block, accusing them of “undermining democratic elections” and practicing “racial discrimination.” Republican attorneys general have also warned that AmLaw 100 firms may be violating civil rights law through diversity, equity, and inclusion hiring practices.

As Muller noted, these firms also back liberal causes in the courts. His research found they filed far more friend-of-the-court briefs supporting left-leaning positions in major Supreme Court cases. In his words, “such a stark shift” underscores how out of step elite law firms are with the voters who increasingly reject left-wing ideology.

UK Rolls Out Digital IDs

The United Kingdom launched an effort to roll out digital IDs to combat illegal working schemes.

“I know working people are worried about the level of illegal migration into this country. A secure border and controlled migration are reasonable demands, and this government is listening and delivering,” Prime Minister Keir Starmer said. “Digital ID is an enormous opportunity for the UK. It will make it tougher to work illegally in this country, making our borders more secure. And it will also offer ordinary citizens countless benefits, like being able to prove your identity to access key services swiftly – rather than hunting around for an old utility bill.”

“We are doing the hard graft to deliver a fairer Britain for those who want to see change, not division. That is at the heart of our Plan for Change, which is focused on delivering for those who want to see their communities thrive again,” he said.

The plan seeks to combat gangs wanting access to the labor market and saves time for UK citizens and legal residents. The IDs will “make it simpler to apply for services like driving licences, childcare and welfare, while streamlining access to tax records” and will be held on an individual’s phone,” a government statement describes.

Several other countries have implemented digital IDs, including Australia, Estonia, Denmark, and India.

The UK announced earlier this year that it plans to launch an app supporting digital identification.

Science and Technology Secretary Peter Kyle said that the digital wallet “will mean that every letter or identity document you receive from the government could be issued to you virtually.”

“For people who choose to use GOV.UK Wallet, they will find it easier to prove they’re entitled to benefits or check their age when buying alcohol or DIY equipment, with more security and trust than ever before,” Kyle explained. “Crucially, it also opens huge opportunities to make interacting with public services much easier by putting people in control of their own data.”

Media Downplays Anti-ICE Attack Despite Shooter’s Clear Motive

The FBI confirmed that the Dallas gunman who opened fire on an ICE facility inscribed “ANTI-ICE” on his ammunition, yet major outlets still insisted the shooter’s motive was “unclear.” Officials identified the attacker as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, who also left a note expressing his desire to “give ICE agents real terror” and cause “maximum lethality against ICE personnel.”

Despite these revelations, mainstream media downplayed the evidence. NPR reported that “authorities haven’t indicated any specific motive,” while the Associated Press claimed the motive “remains unclear.” Similarly, NBC News wrote that “authorities have yet to release an official motive,” even as the FBI described the shooting as “targeted violence.”

President Donald Trump condemned the assault, promising to crack down on “deranged radical leftists.” Vice President J.D. Vance labeled Jahn a “violent left-wing extremist,” while Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem warned that ICE officers face “unprecedented violence against them.”

Yet outlets like the New York Times framed GOP leaders’ statements as premature, running the headline: “After Dallas Shooting, a Rush to Score Political Points Before the Facts Are In.” MSNBC’s law enforcement analyst Tom Manger went so far as to suggest, “He could have been doing that thinking it was funny, trying to put law enforcement on the wrong track.”

But the shooter’s own words and actions make his intent unmistakable. As FBI Director Kash Patel stated, “an initial review of the evidence shows an ideological motive behind this attack.”

Trump Saves TikTok in Deal Protecting U.S. Security

President Donald Trump approved a deal for TikTok that prevents its ban while also protecting American security.

“We have American investors taking it over, running it — highly sophisticated,” Trump said, adding that “Oracle is going to play a very big role.”

“This deal really does mean that Americans can use TikTok, but actually use it with more confidence than they had in the past, because their data is going to be secure and it’s not going to be used as a propaganda weapon against our fellow citizens,” Vice President JD Vance said.

When asked if he is satisfied with the security of the platform, Trump responded, “Yeah, I am, I really am. The biggest reason is it’s owned by Americans, and very sophisticated Americans — and people that love the country, and very smart Americans, too.”

According to a White House fact sheet on the deal, the platform will be “majority-owned by U.S. investors, operated in the U.S. by a board of directors with national security and cybersecurity credentials, and subject to strict rules to protect Americans’ data and our national security.” ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, will hold less than 20% of the stoke, will have only one director of the board, and will not be included in the security committee.

“The divestiture includes intense monitoring of software updates, the algorithm, and data flows, and it requires all recommendation models, including algorithms, that use U.S. user data to be retrained and monitored by America’s trusted security partners. This ensures U.S. content is free from improper manipulation,” the fact sheed explains.

The preservation of TikTok is expected to generate $178 billion in the United States, sustaining thousands of jobs and business across the country.

Tiger King Tragedy: Joe Exotic Associate Killed by Tiger in Oklahoma Show

An associate of Netflix’s “Tiger King” was killed by tiger in a shocking incident that has reignited debates about animal rights, personal risk, and government overreach. Ryan Easley, 37, owner of Growler Pines Tiger Preserve in Oklahoma, “lost his life in an accident involving a tiger” during a performance show, the preserve confirmed.

For Easley, working with big cats was not just a career but a passion. “Growler Pines was more than just a place of work for Ryan, it was his calling, his passion and his life’s purpose,” the preserve said.

Animal rights activists quickly seized on the tragedy to demand new restrictions. PETA labeled his facility a “roadside zoo,” accusing Easley of hauling tigers “around the country” and forcing them “to perform in cruel circuses.” PETA’s Debbie Metzler declared, “It’s never safe for humans to interact directly with apex predators.”

But Joe Exotic, the titular “Tiger King” currently serving time in federal prison, defended Easley’s work and warned against government intrusion. “No one can blame the tiger for what happened,” Exotic wrote. “We all take risk in what we do and we don’t need further laws to ban tigers because of this because you can get killed doing just about anything.”
