The FBI finally acknowledged to Congress that 274 plainclothes agents were embedded in the January 6 crowds in Washington. Let that sink in for a moment — nearly three hundred federal agents, mingling among protesters, and we’re just hearing about this now? But here’s where it gets really infuriating. Just last December, the Department of Justice’s own watchdog proudly announced there was “no evidence” of undercover FBI employees in the protest crowds. [More]
Yo, Kash, a little less worrying about our birthright arms and a little more worrying about purging and punishments…?

Now all that’s missing is a good hard investigation of how the spicy part of the protest was triggered by Capitol Police deliberately turning and firing rubber bullets and gas into the peaceful crowd for no apparent reason.
AND that’s just the FBI………………………How many other federal agencies had people there? I’ll bet most of them. Probably hundreds of additional undercover people, the FBI is just one- how many local or county officers as well? Right now they are quite happy to be under the radar, but maybe someone should find out.
I am disappointed in both Kash and DJT. They are trying “reform-lite” with the FBI, failing to understand that the entire Bureau is corrupt or compromised. The reform I’d like to see is scorched earth: fire every FBI employee, prosecute the culpable, demolish the J. Edgar Hoover building and salt the earth beneath it. And then start over, with new people and new leaders. Worst case: in 90 years some future Administration will have to do it again. FBI actions and failures, starting with Ruby Ridge, Waco and 9/11 then proceeding through spying on concerned parents and traditional Catholics, have proven they are nothing more than an American Gestapo/SS minus the cool Hugo Boss-designed uniforms.
