Ranking FBI Agent: So Many Paid Informants on Jan. 6, They Lost Count.
After years of lie (LINK), after lie (LINK), after lie (LINK) coming from the Department of Justice, the FBI and Homeland Security we know through court mandated discovery There were at least 18 FBI agents, and at least 20 Homeland Security (HSI) agents undercover in the crowd. There were an unknown number of Capitol Hill Police undercover agitating on January 6th. They used rainbow-colored wristbands to identify each other.
Under oath during closed door testimony the infamous former Special Agent in Charge of the DC FBI Field Office, Steven D’Antuono, told Congress that there were so many paid undercover informants imbedded into the crowd that they had to do a nationwide audit of FBI offices to attempt to come up with a number according to breaking reporting from Miranda Devine at the New York Post.
Why is Agent Steven D’Antuono infamous? D’Antuono was in charge of the Governor Whitmer kidnapping plot that was used as an election interference October Surprise against “those evil Trump supporters.” The plot was planned and carried out by FBI Agents and paid informants who engaged in other crimes during the plot. The citizens swept up in it were duped.
Several of the civilians entrapped buy the FBI have been acquitted by juries and those that were found guilty are awaiting appeal. The FBI was also caught illegally holding evidence from the defense.
In typical Washington DC fashion, after the Whitmer debacle, D’Antuono was failed up being promoted to a senior position in the FBI’s DC Field Office where he was put in charge of the January 6th investigation. According to whistleblowers, under D’Antuono the DC Field Office was politicized, engaging in coverups of Hunter Biden investigations including the laptop. Ballot fraud investigations were also blocked.
D’Antuono, under fire from all directions, retired in December 2022.
The New York Post:
The FBI had so many paid informants at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, that it lost track of the number and had to perform a later audit to determine exactly how many “Confidential Human Sources” run by different FBI field offices were present that day, a former assistant director of the bureau has told lawmakers.
At least one informant was communicating with his FBI handler as he entered the Capitol, according to Steven D’Antuono, formerly in charge of the bureau’s Washington field office.
D’Antuono has testified behind closed doors to the House Judiciary Committee that his office was aware before the riot that some of their informants would attend a “Stop the Steal” rally thrown by former President Donald Trump, but he only learned after the fact that informants run by other field offices also were present, along with others who had participated of their own accord.
The Washington field office had to ask FBI headquarters “to do a poll or put out something to people saying w[ere] any CHSs involved,” he said, so they could get a handle on the scale of the FBI’s spying operations at the Capitol that day.
