FBI lost count of how many paid informants were at Capitol on Jan. 6 — later performed audit to figure out exact number: ex-official
NY Post ^ | 19/9/23 | Miranda Devine

The FBI had so many paid informants at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, that they lost track of the number and had to perform a later audit to determine exactly how many “Confidential Human Sources” run by different FBI field offices were present that day, a former assistant director of the bureau has told lawmakers.

At least one informant was communicating with his FBI handler as he entered the Capitol, according to Steven D’Antuono, formerly in charge of the bureau’s Washington field office.

D’Antuono has testified behind closed doors to the House Judiciary Committee that his office was aware before the riot that some of their informants would attend a “Stop the Steal” rally thrown by former President Donald Trump but he only learned after the fact that informants run by other field offices also were present, along with others who had participated of their own accord.

The Washington field office had to ask FBI headquarters “to do a poll or put out something to people saying w[ere] any CHSs involved,” he said, so they could get a handle on the scale of the FBI’s spying operations at the Capitol that day.

“We started getting responses back” from FBI headquarters, added D’Antuono, which helped identify which field offices had planted confidential informants in the crowd.

One paid informant from the Kansas City field office was at the Capitol as the crowd surged inside and allegedly was in communication with his FBI handler, “while they were in the crowd, I think, saying that they were going in,” according to the former bureau brass.

“They were trying to stop some of the action happening and they left or whatnot.”

Asked how many informants the audit discovered were in the crowd that day, D’Antuono would only say “a handful”.

Informants are just that. I guarantee there were armed federal agents and MPDC officers in the crowd. I doubt if we’ll ever know just how many agencies had people there. It was too good an opportunity to pass up.

Monologuing like Lex Luthor or Doctor Doom. All that’s missing is the evil cackle at the end.

You've never seen anything the MSM dropped faster than trying to make clickbait out of President Trump's accurate accusation that Nanzi refused 10,000 National Guard in the presence of DC Mayor Muriel Bowwow Bowser because, as Nanzi said to Muriel, "They wouldn't be under my control."

As I have repeated here again and again, the buyer's remorse for the puppet-state installation has fully set in, and now the Deep State is figuring out how to deal with TrumpII.

So, FBI agents were allocated but not national guard?

I still marvel that that Capitol police officer managed to shoot Ashli Babbitt as opposed to all the paid FBI informants that were there. What are the odds?

Paid informants or paid instigators?

We have to get the federal government out of elections.
———-
No, the first priority is disbanding the disgraced, corrupted FBI…send them to the trash heap of history, they are now proven to be just another corrupted third world group of thugs.

Pretending it is only the “ top” that has rotted is fooling everyone. ALL must go, interview and rehire carefully everyone for the new organization. It must be a new organization, the three letters “ FBI” now stink more than a pile of human excrement….

This is probably why they reeled Ray Epps in.

Now they can say, OH NO! HE WAS NOT AN AGENT! SEE? WE INDICTED HIM!

That doesn’t include Antifa dressed up As MAGA or CIA contractors who were also in the crowd. Ray Epps...megaphone Commander were paid to get people into the Capital Building. And don’t forget, someone on the inside opened the Capital doors from inside. The whole caper stinks to high heaven.

The odds were 10,000 to one that an innocent person would be set up and shot dead that day.

Someone had to die in order to seal the insurgency narrative, with finality.

“Paid informants?”

So that’s what we’re calling agents provocateur now?

“They were trying to stop some of the action happening and they left or whatnot.”

I’ll take “whatnot” for $1,000.
