A member of the Proud Boys who was working as an FBI informant was present at the January 6 riot at the US Capitol and sent his FBI handler live updates by text message, indicating the law enforcement agency had real-time knowledge that a pro-Trump mob was headed toward the building.
According to a report published Saturday by The New York Times, the informant was updating his handler as the pro-Trump mob marched toward the US Capitol 6 while lawmakers were meeting inside to discuss and certify Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election.

The handler didn't appear to understand that the Capitol had been breached, according to the records obtained by the Times. The records were provided to the outlet on the grounds it would not quote directly from them, according to the report.
The informant began working with federal investigators in July 2020, records said, according to the Times.
Was the informant not an English speaker? If so, why was his handler not fluent in the informer's languag? If the informer was an English speaker, aren't the FBI entry tests and training conducted in English?
Clearly, the FBI handler did understand what was going on and it was not a deviation from the FBI plan.
