Inspect General Outlines Extensive Use of FBI Confidential Human Sources on Jan6
The Office of the Inspector General for the DOJ (DOJ-OIG) has outlined an 88-page report on events around the January 6th, 2021, DC protest. The report is AVAILABLE HERE.
FBI Director Chris Wray announced his decision to resign from office one day before the Inspector General report was released. The report shows that 26 FBI Confidential Human Sources (CHSs) were used officially and unofficially during the J6 events. Four entered the Capitol building, another 13 entered the restricted area around the building.
The report found that no official FBI employees participated in the events, but 26 confidential human sources were used. The media are jumping on the part about no FBI employees being present in order to call those who view the FBI as facilitating and coordinating the events of J6 as “conspiracy theorists.” However, the FBI’s use of CHSs is downplayed and dismissed.
A major topline takeaway from the report in general is how much effort the FBI put into investigating the assembly pre J6. When you read the IG explanation of the CHSs [Page 50 and beyond] you get a really good feel for how the FBI was focused and positioned before the day unfolded.
The FBI was communicating with various field offices about many of the attendees prior to January 6th, yet the IG report outlines a point of failure that the FBI did not debrief more sources before the events of the day. There’s a weird disconnect between those two conflicting points.
We have previously outlined the true mission of the FBI and how it is structurally different from the public perception of their mission. The FBI look out for the interests of the people in the business of DC politics. The FBI are like congressional and administrative agency security officers for the government. If a threat is not a threat to the DC system per se’, it is not considered a threat.
The identified threat to DC in the days post 2020 election was not a protest. The perceived threat they worried about stemmed from a manipulated and stolen election. The FBI resources were already deployed extensively in the period from November to January in an effort to mitigate the risks and exposures. The media narrative around the 2020 election was as manipulative as the fence Pelosi put up to support it after J6.
