TOWNHALL | Published December 13, 2024
Yesterday, Katie grabbed the news from the Department of Justice inspector general: FBI assets were inside the Capitol on January 6. Not that the liberal media is going to backtrack or apologize for calling us conspiracy theorists about that narrative. What’s hilarious about this is that we knew we were right from the get-go. The FBI lies, the media lies, and now we have a report saying that assets were inside the Capitol Building on January 6, but somehow, the press doesn’t believe it.
I’m sorry, their take is ‘undercover assets were inside the building, but the FBI didn’t deploy them,’ because that really is going to sell after years of lying about Trump.

The long-awaited report from Inspector General Michael Horowitz also found no evidence that the bureau authorized or encouraged any illegal behavior by members of the mob who stormed the Capitol that day in an effort to disrupt Congress’ certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 victory.
The report throws cold water on theories that have become gospel among some segments of Donald Trump’s supporters, who have accused the FBI of fomenting violence on Jan. 6 in order to entrap Trump supporters.
Horowitz also found that among the tens of thousands of Trump supporters who flooded Washington that day, 26 were people who had served as informants for the FBI. Those informants — known as “confidential human sources” or CHSs — are not government employees but occasionally provide intelligence to the bureau.
