FBI had 275 plainclothes agents embedded in Jan. 6 crowds, congressional source says
The FBI has acknowledged it had 275 plainclothes agents in the massive crowds on Jan. 6, 2021, more than four and a half years after questions were first raised about the level of FBI involvement that day, Blaze News has learned.A senior congressional source said the number is not necessarily a surprise, since the FBI often embeds countersurveillance personnel at large events.
But given the FBI’s until-now steadfast refusal to disclose the level of its presence at the Capitol, the figure might still be viewed with skepticism in some quarters.
The news comes in the wake of claims by the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Inspector General that the FBI had no undercover personnel in the Jan. 6 crowds.
“We found no evidence in the materials we reviewed or the testimony we received showing or suggesting that the FBI had undercover employees in the various protest crowds, or at the Capitol, on January 6,” the DOJ OIG said in an 88-page report released in December 2024.
Depending how one reads “undercover” agents versus “plainclothes agents,” both statements could be true.
The same report disclosed that 26 FBI confidential human sources were in the Jan. 6 crowds, four of whom entered the Capitol. Undercover Metropolitan Police Department officers have acknowledged inciting the crowds by helping protesters climb over barriers, encouraging them to continue on to the Capitol, and applauding those committing vandalism.

Another fine representative of the MAGA movement for you to ignore...
Former South Carolina state lawmaker Robert John “RJ” May III has agreed to plead guilty to distributing child sexual abuse material. Prosecutors say May used the screen name “joebidennnn69″ on the social media site Kik as he exchanged 220 images of very young children being abused over a period of five days in spring 2024. The 38-year-old Republican, who is married with two children, served the 88th District from November 2020 until his resignation last month. He faces 20 years in prison for each of the five counts with which he is charged. In addition, he must register as a sex offender and must pay a fine that could be as high as $250,000. The former lawmaker, who does not have a legal degree, represented himself in court. May was the main driver of the ultra-conservative Freedom Caucus, a splinter group of conservative Republicans who shunned party moderates. During a debate on transgender care for minors on the House floor in January 2024, May argued that: “We as legislators have an obligation to ensure that our children have no harm done to them.”
@9:48...that's utterly amazing of you finding some local official out of at least 500,000 across the country who is a pervert. Congratulations. Keep digging.
Jan 6 was a lot of Democrat lies. That Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger need to be prosecuted along with every Democrat in Congress
MAGA!
