Confirmed: ‘At Least’ TWENTY FBI Agents & ATF Operatives Were Embedded at Capitol on January 6, Legal Docs Show
It has now been confirmed that at least twenty FBI and ATF agents were embedded around the capitol building on January 6, according to court documents related to a criminal case that is proceeding in federal court.
The revelation about the number of FBI and ATF agents was made in a footnote to a motion to dismiss submitted by the defense in United States v. Thomas Caldwell (U.S. v. Elmer Stewart Rhodes). It is based on witness testimony, un-Mirandized statements, and multiple 302s:
Literally tens of thousands of private communications within the Oath Keepers organization have been provided, including encrypted messages specifically addressing preparations for J6. Additionally, multiple 302s, witness statements, un-Mirandized statements, etc. from multiple Oath Keeper related witnesses and defendants have been reviewed. At least 20 FBI and ATF assets were embedded around the Capitol on J6. Additionally, discovery proves that the Oath Keepers were being monitored and recorded prior to J6.
The motion to dismiss contains no further information on the “20 FBI and ATF assets,” but it is a figure that confirms there were more federal agents embedded at the capitol on January 6 than previously known. The admission into court of the factual statement raises disturbing questions about the FBI’s infiltration of far-right groups that showed up on January 6 to sow chaos and confusion during a Donald Trump speaking event.
It also further corroborates that the FBI were well aware of far-right groups’ plans for January 6, and at a minimum, allowed the groups to carry out an operation that has since been characterized as a ‘coup’ attempt or a plot to ‘overthrow the government.’
As Tucker Carlson noted in his interview with Revolver editor Darren Beattie last June, there is the matter of certain unindicted co-conspirators from the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. The FBI’s odd treatment of “Person Two” and “Person Three” referenced in the indictment of Thomas Caldwell is reviewed in a Revolver piece from last June.
The Revolver piece draws a bright red line between the activities of ‘Person Two’ and ‘Person Three’ and similarities with the Whitmer kidnapping plot case, which led initially to two acquittals for reasons of ‘entrapment.’ The Whitmer kidnapping case is currently in retrial.

All the good Patriot pages said to stay away from there and it was sound advice.
Pence the RAT was on teevee being a rodent as usual and he might testify during sweeps week J6 season two on all CPUSA enemedia channels.
Okay, time for a 1L refresher on criminal procedure. This is not confirmation of anything.
The statement that 20+ feds were embedded around the Capitol on January 6th is found in footnote 2 of the defendant’s Motion to Dismiss. Nowhere in the motion will you find a reference to any evidence or testimony that backs up that claim.
As much as I’d like this to be right (and I suspect it understates the true number of agents), it’s still just an unsupported claim at this point. A bare accusation or claim asserted in a Motion to Dismiss is not evidence, nor can we interpret the court’s filing of the motion as its agreement with the defendant’s assertions.
By filing a party’s motion, all the court is saying is “OK, we have received your official document, and here’s a copy for anyone who wants to look it over.”
A defendant could file a motion to dismiss on the grounds that the prosecution team is made up of evil lizard people from the Planet Zorbulax, and the prosecution could file a motion in opposition on the grounds that the defense team is huffing lethal doses of paint fumes … but the court isn’t declaring either claim to be true when it files the motions and posts copies online.
Be cautious about anything on Jim Hoft’s site that seems explosive. Sometimes he and his employees act like paint-huffing lizard people when they write tabloid horse shit posts like the one you linked.
Sadly in today’s America if 3 are gathered in support of the true American way of life 2 will be some fed or POS rat enticing that one to do something illegal.
The reality of America today is, depending on your circumstances, if you haven’t known someone for at least 5 years or more and vetted them completely don’t assume you are safe to speak ” freely ” around them about not for public consumption, opsec.
