New York Times Confirms Revolver's Claim of FBI Involvement In 1/6... But What Are They Still Hiding?

In mid June, Revolver News published a groundbreaking investigative report arguing that certain elements of the federal government not only had foreknowledge of the events of 1/6, but that some senior members of the major militia groups blamed for the so-called "Insurrection" were actually federal informants or undercover operatives themselves.

Senator Amy Klobuchar cleverly affirmed the "Intelligence failure" thesis even as she obliquely asked FBI Director Christopher Wray about the presence of informants in militia groups imputed to the 1/6 "Insurrection."

Klobuchar asks the FBI director if he wishes he had infiltrated the militia organizations allegedly involved in 1/6 - assuming from the outset that there was in fact no infiltration, thereby providing the FBI director an easy way to avoid addressing the question one way or another.

One way for "Insurrection" proponents to salvage their claim that there was no federal foreknowledge of 1/6 is to now assert there was no pre-planning on the part of the insurrectionists themselves.

The new notion that there was suddenly no coordination or organized plot behind 1/6 serves a convenient purpose in preserving the official narrative that there was no federal foreknowledge of 1/6. If there was no foreplanning on the part of the "Insurrectionists," there could be no foreknowledge on the part of the federal government.

Alan Feuer's new Times piece acknowledging the existence of informants is without question an exercise in damage control, aiming to get out ahead of the revelation of more informants as the discovery process develops and the prosecution in 1/6 cases reluctantly hands over exculpatory evidence to the defense as is legally required.

Consider how much worse still it would be for the Feds if it turns out that not only did they know about the possibility for violence in advance, but that some of the most senior leadership of the militias blamed for the worst elements of 1/6 turned out to be undercover operatives.
