FBI's Patel clarifies role of hundreds of agents on Jan 6, says Wray lied to Congress
UNIQUE The FBI responded on Saturday to a assessment that plainclothes agents were at the U S Capitol riot on Jan clarifying the role of bureau personnel while still blasting former Director Christopher Wray While the agents were on hand they were sent in after the riot had begun to try to control the unruly crowd agents notified Fox News Digital That is not the proper role of FBI agents and Wray was not forthcoming about what happened when he testified numerous times on Capitol Hill Director Kash Patel reported Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the riot was declared by Metro Police something that goes against FBI standards Patel recounted Fox News Digital This was the failure of a corrupt leadership that lied to Congress and to the American people about what really happened He added Thanks to agents coming forward we are now uncovering the truth We are fully committed to transparency and justice and accountability continues with this FBI There s no indication any FBI agents were involved in any events related to Trump s speech on the morning of Jan at the Ellipse an FBI official informed Fox News Digital adding that Wray should have disclosed that agents were there when he was demanded by congressional leaders FBI S KASH PATEL VOWS DEFINITIVE ANSWER ON TOP JAN QUESTION IS COMING President Donald Trump citing a review that the agents were in the crowd which did not make clear their mission explained earlier that Wray has a few major explaining to do It was just revealed that the FBI had secretly placed against all Rules Regulations Protocols and Standards FBI Agents into the Crowd just prior to and during the January th Hoax Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Saturday afternoon following a summary from The Blaze revealing the number of agents that were there Trump added This is different from what Director Christopher Wray stated over and over again That s right as it now turns out FBI Agents were at and in the January th Protest presumably acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists but certainly not as Law Enforcement Agents The president reported he wished to know each officer s identity and what they were doing at the U S Capitol Numerous Great American Patriots were made to pay a very big price only for the love of their Country he reported referring to Trump supporters who faced charges for their involvement on Jan Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of every person charged for involvement on Jan after he took office this year DOJ INSPECTOR GENERAL DOES NOT DENY FBI INFORMANTS WERE AMONG JAN CROWDHe concluded I owe this assessment of Dirty Cops and Crooked Politicians' to them Christopher Wray the then Director of the FBI has several major explaining to do That s two in a row Comey and Wray who got caught LYING with our Great Country at stake WE CAN NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN TO AMERICA AGAIN Citing a senior congressional source the Blaze overview commented that the number of agents wasn t necessarily a surprise because the FBI often embeds countersurveillance personnel at large events Wray informed a House Committee on Nov If you are asking if the violence at the Capitol was part of particular operation orchestrated by FBI sources or agents the answer is no but he wouldn t disclose if any agents or sources were embedded within the crowd The agents also includes those who were responding to the pipe bombs placed near the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee headquarters the night before Jan according to Politico Trump nominated Wray as FBI director in after he fired former FBI director James Comey who was just indicted by a grand jury this week for allegedly making false statements to Congress FBI AGENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE EXPLAINED TO RESIGN RETIRE OR BE FIREDA statement disclosed last December by Justice Department Inspector General Michael E Horowitz explained We revealed no evidence in the materials we reviewed or the testimony we received showing or suggesting that the FBI had undercover employees in the various protest crowds or at the Capitol on January although he acknowledged there were paid informants but only three of them were assigned by the FBI to be there The description also commented that FBI personnel were sent to the Capitol at the request of overwhelmed Capitol Police to help with crowd control Horowitz mentioned that none of the informants were allowed to incite the crowd break the law or enter the U S Capitol In its reporting Blaze noted that there may have been confusion regarding plainclothes and undercover meaning both the inspector general and the FBI could be telling the truth Multiple of the agents weren't happy to have been sent to the Capitol to do crowd control another official recounted Fox News Digital It was a chaotic scene with no pre-planning that contradicted the agency's original plan to not get involved in the event The official declared that agents are not trained to do crowd control The first agents arrived at the Capitol around p m there's no evidence there were any there before a riot was declared and agents continued to arrive after that the official added CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPWray had testified before Congress prior to the inspector general's statement being distributed in December but Patel called out Wray for deflecting and giving a D C answer when pressed by lawmakers Why it took a ton of time and questioning in Congress for the director to get that point is what I'm trying to eliminate from the FBI Patel noted If Congress asks you a question under oath whether or not there were sources in or around Jan th at the Capitol you as the director of the FBI need to know that and not deflect and give a D C answer You have to be prepared for that Fox News' Brooke Singman contributed to this analysis
