WASHINGTON – For the last three and a half years, the FBI and federal prosecutors, in tandem with federal judges, have refused to disclose information regarding the extent to which the U.S. government deployed undercover informants in the crowd at the “Save America” rally in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021.
Likewise, during the Proud Boys trial, Judge Timothy Kelly held a sealed hearing to avoid disclosing to the public the number of confidential human sources the government had embedded in that group in the weeks and months leading up to the Capitol riot.
The most notorious suspected government plant of Jan. 6, James Ray Epps, provides a classic example of the special treatment the government would afford to a confidential human source, or CHS. Epps was caught on camera on the streets of D.C. breaking the law – laws imposed or enforced only on Jan. 6, 2021, against demonstrators, for the first time in American history. Nevertheless, he was given only probation, and won’t see a day in a jail or prison.
Epps appears to be either a very sloppy lawbreaker, or a very sloppy undercover agent with the federal government.
Of course the FBI infiltrates these groups (Proud Boys, etc.). Just as they do with any terrorist group. It’s common and necessary to keep us safe.
Just like they did blm, antifa and all the 9/11 terrorists-right? Take it elsewhere fool.
Well, 8:41, I think you’re the fool. Actually the FBI does have people inside BLM and Antifa. Of course they do, just as they have planted people in the Proud Gays and the Oath Sweepers. 9/11 terrorists weren’t domestic, so the FBI couldn’t infiltrate them. But they should have if they could have.
The FBI didn’t do anything to BLM or Antifa. But they put Jan 6th people in prison for being anywhere near the Capital, except Ray Epps of course.
epps was a paid agitator and should be charged with inciting a riot.
