It took 4 years for the fbi to acknowledge they had hundreds of agents onsite. 25 were paid informants, 3 entered the building I think a half dozen were in. Restricted areas. You think they are gonna tell congress they had agents open the doors.... Yet you think everything is cool here. How about Robert Mueller report on collusion that skipped over the dossier and Hillaries collusion with a foreign agent. And the FBI knowing the entire time the dossier was fake. Your viewing everything through rose colored glasses. Probably dont believe the 2020 election was rigged . Democrats are 4 years behind on everything. Everything we told you about you deny until eventually it becomes history and then all you do is go meahh... We told you Joe was unfit for office, it took an abysmal performance at a debate for you num nuts to finally realize he had dementia.
I hope I'm not mistaken here, but I could have sworn that President Trump spent far less having the Reflecting Pool actually fixed and redone than Obama and his bumbling unqualified contractors. I'm just saying. I just don't get the hatred towards Trump and his successes. I don't know him personally, and I'm not happy with the Iran farce but he's been a far better President that 44 & 46!
Your an idiot. If you read anything into California election law, you can see they have rigged the entire system to harvest votes. Which dems are very good at doing. Most states do not allow ballot harvesting and require some type of validation on mail in ballots. It's an open invitation to cheat and sadly that's how liberals win elections in some places still. Moose head guy and pelosi feet on desk guy were not there to take over. Most January 6th were not hiding behind mask like blm antifa cowards and agitators were. Trump did not say the FBI was involved. More like 6 years later we found out many were there undercover along with other enforcement officers from DC.
Let me help you out here. Click the link below and then go to the 36:20 mark. There you will find Trump saying that FBI agents were "ushering" people into the building on January 6th.
Now perhaps you can help me out. Give me a link to any reliable source saying there were undercover officers there.
Just as videos of January 6th were used to identify the people prosecuted for what they did that day, why have they not been used to identify the FBI or undercover officers that you claim were there? As specifically regards the FBI, even if they were in disguise, Trump now has Kash Patel heading the FBI. If agents were detailed to be there, surely there are records of those assignments for Patel to find and produce. Surely Patel could identify the FBI official who gave agents the assignments. But none of this has occurred!
Straight from the report. 274 agents were sent to the capital to help with crowd control after the riot started. Were they at the doors.... Of course no one was authorized to do anything illegal. LIke they would really tell us... After all the stuff they held back about Russian collusion... It took six years to find this out.
Today’s report also details our findings regarding FBI CHSs who were in Washington, D.C., on January 6. Our review determined that none of these FBI CHSs was authorized by the FBI to enter the Capitol or a restricted area or to otherwise break the law on January 6, nor was any CHS directed by the FBI to encourage others to commit illegal acts on January 6. Our findings also include:
Twenty-six FBI CHSs were in Washington, D.C. on January 6 in connection with the events of January 6.
The OIG determined that three of those CHSs had been tasked by FBI field offices to report on specific domestic terrorism case subjects who were possibly attending the events of January 6. One of these three CHSs entered the Capitol during the riot. The other two entered the restricted area around the Capitol.
Twenty-three additional FBI CHSs were in Washington, D.C., and attended January 6 events, but we determined that these CHSs did so on their own initiative and were not tasked by FBI field offices to attend the events. Of these 23 CHSs, three CHSs entered the Capitol during the riot and an additional 11 entered the restricted area around the Capitol.
The remaining nine CHSs who attended the events of January 6 did not enter the Capitol or the restricted area or otherwise engage in illegal activity.
I found the report, but I don't see how it supports Trump's claims. I thought that perhaps there were agents there in disguise, such that we could not be certain of what they were doing. However, everything you've recounted here (and everything else I saw in the report) indicates that the FBI knew exactly which of its people were there and precisely what they were doing.
Trump's been on a vendetta against people he thinks "done him wrong." If video evidence of the event showed any FBI agent or CHS waving people into the Capitol on January 6th, I cannot imagine that he would not have been charged with a crime or at least cited for official misconduct, as one section of the report recounts that "FBI policy does not permit the FBI to have undercover employees in crowds at First Amendment-protected events absent some investigative authority . . . ." At the very least, video evidence of the agent or CHS, acting improperly, would almost certainly have been made public by now.
In sum, the very existence of this extremely detailed report, given its lack of any corroboration for Trump's claims, would seem to make those claims even more implausible than they were before. What am I missing?
I'm not sure why, but this after reading "But because Trump decided to just fix it instead of forming a commission, doing an environmental study, and hiring shamans to bless it, progressives were outraged. The pool is now sealed, fixed, and filled..."
The following sprang to mind. It's an oldie, but a goodie... inspired by a real-life incident back in 2010 when then-Texas Governor Rick Perry was out jogging with his dog and got attacked by a coyote:
THE COYOTE PRINCIPLE; A PARABLE
CALIFORNIA
The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out of the brush and attacks the Governor's dog.
The Governor starts to intervene, however he quickly reflects upon the movie "Bambi", and then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only doing what is natural.
The coyote kills the dog.
The coyote then lunges at the Governor, bites him on the hand, then runs off.
The Governor calls the local Animal Control. Animal Control captures the coyote and bills the state $500 testing it for diseases and $1,000 for relocating it.
He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the State $500 testing it for diseases and $300 for disposal of the dog.
The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote bite, medicine and getting his wound treated.
The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game conducts a $400,000 survey to make sure the area is now free of dangerous animals.
The Governor spends $70,000 in state funds implementing a "Coyote Awareness Program" for residents of the area.
The State Legislature spends $1.5 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world.
The Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack. The state spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with additional special training on the nature of coyotes.
The local chapter of PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files a $5 million suit against the State of California.
California loses the case and is ordered to pay the amount of the lawsuit plus $2 million in legal fees.
Total Cost: $9,125,800
TEXAS
The Governor of Texas is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out of the brush and attacks his dog.
The Governor is carrying a state-issued pistol worth $600 and two spare magazines worth $40 each.
He shoots the coyote with one round, killing it.
The Governor keeps jogging with his dog.
He has spent $0.50 on a single .45 ACP hollow point cartridge.
The buzzards eat the dead coyote.
Total Cost: $680.50
And that, my friends, is why California has massive budgetary problems and Texas does not.
I'm glad there was a trial of the kid who committed this murder. I would also like to see the trials of the ICE agents who may have murdered those two people in Minneapolis, but much less any trials, those incidents haven't even been investigated.
If memory serves, that is just fine with you. When a black kid kills a white one though, you're all over it.
Well of COURSE many Americans, especially blacks, have been misled about this in order to whip up racial hatred. It's what the Left does..... George Floyd. Michael Brown. Jussie Smollett. Treyvon Martin. The Duke LaCrosse (non) Rape Case. The Bubba Wallace Garage Door "Noose" Incident. And now, it's Anthony Karmelo.
Because when there isn't enough racism to go around, it must be manufactured.... just like the SPLC does. As the investigation into their nefarious activities goes on, they're getting into more and more hot water as the truth comes out.... Defrauding donors, bank fraud, wire fraud, funding the Klan and hate rallies, etc.
What should you tell your five boys, lady? .... Tell them not to go around stabbing other people.
In your three word attempt to insult someone else's intelligence you manage to display your own stupidity just so effectively. 1) You wrote it in the wrong place in this Substack comment thread so it appears to be addressed to the author, Erick, (showing that you can't even manage to navigate a basic website) and 2) It's - You're an idiot not - Your an idiot. I normally don't care about grammar, but when you are insulting someone's intelligence with a three word sentence and you make two boneheaded mistakes in that attempt - YOU'RE just a lost cause....
I dont think so...when you go after everything but the issue. Just like a liberal. Liberals like a well-written conspiracy theory. They have all day to right them...
The point about Dan, is the 'hustle' & was in direct reference to Erick's AM Substack. We get these hustles everywhere, everyday. It's not Dan, per se, it's the hustle. I am preserving my sanity, not anyone else's.
Juries hand down correct verdicts almost all of the time. Just as the one handed down a few years ago in Georgia finding Travis McMichael guilty of malice murder among other counts, and Gregory McMichael and William Bryan of felony murder, among other counts. Gregory and Travis are serving life plus 20, while William is serving life (30 years) with a possibility of parole. I would have like to see the death penalty handed down for Travis McMichael, but he'll spend the rest of his, hopefully short life in prison.
SP, I am not asking anyone to ban anyone else. I find Dan rather one note & hence, boring. His side is just as bizarre as mine, so that's not the point. Dan badgers relentlessly &, whether one is MAGA or not, it is exhausting &, in my opinion, it was time to say something. There are others on this site that badger & I tend to gloss over those, too. Will they occasionally have a good point? Yes & probably I will miss it. People like Dan are people I choose to 'consciously uncouple' from. Haha!
I guess I’m going to have to log off of FB for a while. My feed is covered in the murder verdict. I’ve served on 4 juries (2 murders, a pedophilia case and a civil case against Marta). People that think they can judge a jury verdict by what others post on the internet have obviously never served on a jury.
"Trump decided to just fix it instead of forming a commission, doing an environmental study, and hiring shamans to bless it, progressives were outraged. "
Come on, Erick.... where's the acknowledgement that the pool was built on stolen land?

It came straight from the Inspector general report 2024
Thanks. I'll take a look at it.

Sorry but Blair is correct on this one.
