Unraveling January 6th: A Deep Dive into Informants and Violence

This chapter investigates the findings of an Inspector General's report about confidential human sources present during the January 6th event, distinguishing their roles from those of FBI agents. It critically analyzes the actions of far-right groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, as well as law enforcement's knowledge and response to impending violence. The discussion raises questions about the orchestration of the day's events, the motives behind participants' actions, and the complexities of intelligence operations in the face of unprecedented unrest.
