That’s the complaint of the FBI, that it’s not their job. A rational complaint. They weren’t “in the crowd” and they weren’t there until the riot happened.
They apparently did nothing to slow it down or stop it, either. IOW, why were they there and why did the FBI lie about them being there?
The FBI never lied about being there. They went there to try and help stop it.
Putting up nonsensical memes is not debate.
I don't think it's helpful to argue semantics like that. It doesn't matter whether the FBI was "in the crowd" to cause a riot, or whether they were only there to control the crowd. The important thing is, there was FBI presence (this is an undeniable fact), and the director of FBI lied about it. Through his teeth.
And what did they do to "try and help stop it"? That's the question. You say they were there to stop it, so what did they do?
They weren’t “agents”. They had confidential sources in these organizations. Not agents.
They didn't lie about their presence. You're making things up.
Not much. They weren't equipped to handle the situation and so mostly just stood around.
Read what I replied to, because you're missing context. Your accusation is wrong because you lack the context.
We've known for a long time that they had sources in these organizations. I have no problem admitting that. It's been widely reported for years.
I tried to find exactly what Wray said, I didn't find much, I only found that he denied the FBI instigated the riot, which is different from denying that the FBI was there. So maybe you do have a point. Anyway I will drop this for now.
If the FBI was truly there to contain the crowd, then why did they make the agents wear plain-clothes? This tells me they wanted to conceal their identity from the crowd, which is very sketchy.
How are you so sure that they didn't? Are you a part of the FBI? I am an average citizen, and I certainly cannot say with absolute certainty that the FBI does nor doesn't have presence in certain groups. And I am sure you are an average citizen, too. So why do you act with such confidence?
Again, I don't think it helps to argue about technicality like, "those people are merely informants, they are technically not FBI agents". Maybe they truly aren't FBI agents, but they certainly draw a salary from the FBI, whom they work for and report to. In this sense, does it really matter that they technically aren't agents?
