(…) New revelations from text messages have blown the lid off: the CIA was not just observing but actively involved in the chaos of January 6th, and now we know more about what these shadowy government agencies were up to, thanks to a lawsuit by Judicial Watch.
Judicial Watch just got their hands on 88 pages of juicy ATF documents from the DOJ, and guess what they found? The CIA actually had boots on the ground in Washington, DC, on January 6, 2021. How did Judicial Watch snag these records, you may be wondering? Well, no surprise, they had to drag the DOJ to court after a stone-cold silence on a FOIA request about “gunfire” in the Capitol and calls for ATF backup on that day. “These striking records show that CIA resources were deployed in reaction to the January 6 disturbance,” says Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch.

The CIA had “dog teams” on the ground that day.
Newly unearthed communications records show for the first time that the CIA played limited but key roles during the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.
Some 88 pages of documents that Judicial Watch shared with Secrets reveal the spy agency put “several” dog teams on alert near the Capitol and that it assigned “bomb techs” to the House side neighborhood where explosive devices were found at Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters.
The revelations were in heavily redacted documents provided to Judicial Watch, which had sued under the Freedom of Information Act for intelligence communications on Jan. 6, 2021, when pro-Trump supporters went to the Capitol to urge an end to the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory, some violently.
While virtually all federal and city police had some involvement in dispatching the crowds that day, the CIA has remained in the background.
Day by day, it’s becoming clearer: the Capitol was swarming with FEDs from every US intelligence agency. It was an extensive operation, all aimed at entrapping Donald Trump. Both the protesters and Trump himself were set up. But as the old saying goes, the truth has a way of leaking out. (Read more: Revolver News, 3/14/2024) (Archive)
