Probe finds no evidence feds were involved in inciting Jan. 6 attack
A watchdog probe has uncovered no evidence that FBI agents were involved in inciting the Jan. 6 attack, undercutting years of baseless claims by far-right figures.
Summary
A Justice Department Inspector General report found no evidence that FBI agents or informants incited the January 6 Capitol attack, debunking far-right claims of federal involvement.
The probe confirmed that 26 FBI informants were present in Washington, with four entering restricted areas, but none were instructed to encourage illegal activity.
The report highlighted FBI lapses in gathering intelligence before the attack but noted the bureau took significant preparatory steps.
Over 1,500 individuals have been charged in connection with the attack, and conspiracy theories about FBI involvement remain unsubstantiated.
Did anyone think that they did?
Yes.
The people who wished they were there.
As of this comment, I'm guessing the 3 people who down-voted this post do.
To appease right-wing lunatics, there are going to be official investigations into each and all their bonkers theories —
• Was the 2020 election stolen?
• Is Joe Biden a criminal?
• What's the Clinton body count?
• Where was Obama really born?
• Are all Democrats a Satan-worshipping cabal of cannibalistic pedophiles?
• and soooo much more...Id trust a toddler before I trusted the nypost
