From Just the News:

The FBI secretly deployed more than 250 plainclothes agents to the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, an operation so disorganized it unleashed searing frustrations among many of the FBI’s rank-and-file that the bureau had lost its core competencies to “wokeness” and allowed its employees to become “pawns in a political war,” according to an after-action report kept from the public for more than four years.

Scores of FBI agents and personnel – many from the bureau’s premier Washington field office (WFO) – sent anonymous complaints to the after-action team detailing how agents were sent into an unsafe scenario without proper safety equipment or the ability to identify themselves readily as armed officers to other police agencies, the report obtained by Just the News shows.

The most persistent complaint was that the bureau during the James Comey and Chris Wray era had become infected with political biases and liberal ideology that treated the protesters from the summer 2020 Black Lives Matter riots far differently than those arrested in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 episode.

According to the after-action report penned by the agents, which you can read here, 274 plainclothes agents were deployed to the Capitol after violence started. The report also revealed that many of the agents in the FBI at the time were concerned with political bias within the bureau. One agent wrote, “Our response to the Capitol Riot reeks of political bias,” while another wrote, “We have been used as pawns in a political war.”

The report directly contradicts former FBI Director Christopher Wray’s 2023 testimony before Congress, in which he vehemently rejected the notion of bias in the FBI. Just the News notes it could also help some remaining Jan. 6 court cases, since agents who “were witnesses at the Capitol and did not disclose it in the subsequent affidavits during prosecutions … could create grounds for defendants to appeal.”

For years, the government has lied to us about the events that took place on Jan. 6. Now, however, we seem to finally be getting the truth. Let’s continue to pray for transparency and justice!
