“My big issue is that I’m really, really sick and tired of every time I turn around, finding something else that the Democrats have lied about or downplayed or misrepresented along the way.”
That was podcaster Stephen A. Smith, speaking about the latest revelations about January 6. He had a message to the Democrat Party, saying he was sick of the fact that when the likes of Megyn Kelly and Sean Hannity (and we’d be in that category) had anything to say “about something pertaining to y’all, THEY SEEM RIGHT.”
Well, we ARE right. We’ve been right over and over and over again.
“They’ve actually made Donald Trump look like HE was right,” Smith said. Well, yes. That’s because he was.
We learned from DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s J6 report last week that dozens of FBI informants (but only three “employees” per se) were at the Capitol building on January 6, 2021. The media have been trying to soften this story as much as they can. One example: A headline from THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS, quite a Democrat propaganda rag in a predominantly red state, said, “Review finds FBI missteps,” with the subhead, “...Report debunks theory of bureau’s involvement, participation.”
Um, did they READ the report? But that’s the DMN for you. (And they ran the AP story; same deal.) This is why your humble writers choose to use its pages to line their parrots’ cages.
Anyway, back when Mike Lee was asking questions of FBI Director Christopher Wray about FBI involvement in January 6, Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney called him a “nutball conspiracy theorist.” But the report shows he was right to ask. Long before it came out, but after she posted some J6 video, he responded, “Liz, we’ve seen footage like that a million times. You made sure we saw that --- and nothing else. It’s the other stuff --- which you deliberately hid from us --- that we find so upsetting. Nice try. PS. How many of these guys are feds? (As if you’d ever tell us).”
Well, now we know.

Word is getting around that one of the FBI confidential human sources (informants) who entered the Capitol on January 6 --- an action for which many people are currently serving jail time --- not only was not prosecuted but also got his travel expenses reimbursed. He later attended the inauguration, also with his bill footed by Uncle Sam.
As we quoted Michael Stenger, U.S. Senate Sergeant-at-Arms during January 6 (now deceased), “Investigations should be considered as to funding and travel of what appears to be professional agitators.” You can see him here…

What, professional agitators working with the FBI? How shocking!
And, of course, Wray hasn’t left yet. The WASHINGTON TIMES ran a story about his plan to promote senior employees and somehow delay presumed incoming FBI Director Kash Patel by “three to four months.”
“If Wray succeeds,” the INDEPENDENT SENTINEL reports, “Patel will likely have trouble running the FBI effectively, as Wray’s deep state goons constantly leak and defy orders without repercussions. This would be great news for dangerous criminals and awful news for law-abiding Americans.”
Patel had better have a plan for dealing with this. But we have a feeling that, given his experience with these people, he does. It needs to involve firing a lot of people, even those who just got promoted. Especially them.

When the J6 report came out, one aspect of it was glaringly missing: the pipe bomber story. As Victoria Taft reports in PJ MEDIA, “The radio silence on what we’ve been assured are ‘viable’ pipe bombs planted outside the DNC and near the RNC on J6 continued in the Inspector General’s report when he offered only a few treacly paragraphs on the issue.” The bombs were quickly dispensed with in just one mention on page 49.
This is looking more and more like a planned diversion (by...who?) to stop the counting of Electoral College votes when it was known Republican senators might be prepared to offer evidence of questionable ballot counting, perhaps even calling for an audit of the election. Both bombs were “discovered” a very short while before the certification was scheduled to start.
Taft describes how she thinks this plan would have gone: “All available cops would be sent to the bomb reports, the count would stop, Kamala Harris, the nation’s first woman of color who ascended to the nation’s second most powerful position and could have been killed by a ‘viable’ pipe bomb, would be feted as a woke heroine and survivor. Joe Biden would officially be declared the winner. Game over.”
We’ve never learned why VP-elect Kamala Harris --- there’s a name you won’t be hearing very often from now on, except in this context --- left the Capitol building to go to DNC headquarters that day. Was she ever asked about this (or anything else) for the IG report? NO.
Turned out, the Democrats didn’t need their pipe bomb story, because they got their riot.
Taft reminds us that all the Secret Service communications from both January 5 and 6 were destroyed in a very conveniently timed cell phone swap. This happened in spite of four congressional committees ordering them to keep the data. And even the “geofencing” that was used --- and continues to be used --- to track down J6 rallygoers was “corrupted” in the case of the so-called bomb planter.
Taft concludes that we were promised answers by the IG and got none, certainly about the pipe bombs, which were all but ignored. Having called the pipe bomb story “the smoking gun” of January 6, investigative reporter Darren Beattie entreats Kash Patel: “As uncomfortable as it is, we will need soon-to-be FBI Director Kash Patel to take the sham pipe bomb story to its final conclusion. I can hand it to him on a silver platter.” And he can.
Just a thought: this is one reason Chris Wray might want to delay Patel’s assumption of the directorship at the FBI.

Taft made the case over the weekend that “FBI agents were everywhere” that day. She includes an excerpt from the IG report featuring a description of “SWAT teams” responding to the pipe bomb discoveries. “Are SWAT members for the FBI not AGENTS?” she asks rhetorically.
“So, if we take the IG’s conclusion at face value,” Taft says, “if there were no FBI UNDERCOVER AGENTS there, how come there were so many FBI AGENTS there? And does the lack of a uniform determine whether entrapment has taken place?” The IG report seems to have just muddied the water.

As outlined in a new report, Michael Byrd, the Capitol Police officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt on January 6 (and was recently promoted to captain), was recommended for termination in 2001 for abandoning his post and lying about it to Internal Affairs. A source told BLAZE MEDIA investigators that this was one of three disciplinary cases “for which records could not be found when a House oversight subcommittee [this must be Barry Loudermilk’s committee] requested them in early 2024.”
For when you have time, there’s much more here about Byrd’s dicey history with the Capitol Police. Even after killing an unarmed person, Byrd was helped financially and continued to fail up.
Bonchie at REDSTATE takes an even harsher tone.
In this highly recommended piece, John Solomon has more about the favoritism and financial benefits directed towards Byrd, much more than what other officers have received. Why?
Last week, the sentencing of one J6 defendant (on the same nonviolent charges that most J6 defendants have pleaded guilty to or been found guilty of), Philip Grillo, got pretty wild, as he and presiding Judge Royce Lamberth exchanged words.
Before handing down the sentence, Judge Lamberth said, “I will do my job as I’m bound by oath to do, and the President will do his. It’s as simple as that.” He said the administration of justice is necessary “no matter what the political winds of the day.” (Not that the political winds had anything to do with this case being in his courtroom in the first place. For someone who says he doesn’t care about the political winds, he has done his share of politicizing.)
Then Lamberth, true to Julie Kelly’s depiction of him as “one of the cruelest judges,” sentenced Grillo to a year in prison --- to begin IMMEDIATELY --- followed by one year of supervised release.
But Grillo had the final word. As he stood there, with the U.S. Marshal taking off his tie and belt and placing him in handcuffs to transport him to prison, he yelled at Lamberth, who was exiting the room, “Trump’s gonna pardon me anyways!”
And we’re counting the minutes till that. In the meantime, Jonathan Turley is asking why the FBI informants whom we now know were at the Capitol walked free when nearly 1500 American citizens faced charges, some for just wandering through the Capitol building like tourists. FOX NEWS’ Martha MacCallum talks with him here; you can also see Tucker Carlson’s revealing interview with former Capitol Hill Police Chief Steven Sund, if you missed that.
To end on a positive note, President Trump has just named Devin Nunes, former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and current CEO of Truth Social, to lead the Intelligence Advisory Board. (He will stay on in his position with Truth Social.) This board, made up of non-government people, “exists to provide an independent source of advice on the effectiveness of the intelligence community’s data and its data acquisition.”
Nunes is up there with Kash Patel as a great choice to help oversee reform of the intel community. You know the IC can’t stand it, which is a good sign
