The actions of the federal government at the January 6 Capitol Hill mostly peaceful protest [bite me, CNN] might be more than we knew. A motion filed by an attorney representing the Proud Boys, a right-wing activist group, indicates that there was a significant number of informants who infiltrated the group.
Julie Kelly of American Greatness obtained the motion stating that FBI informants were 'vastly outnumbered' by confidential human sources (CHS) and "plain-clothes operators representing other law enforcement agencies."
It sounds like an entrapment situation to me.
The document notes that “[a]n agency called Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) seems to have played a major role in handling and running CHSs among the Proud Boys on January 6, 2021.”
BREAKING: Another doozy of a motion filed today by a Proud Boy defense lawyer related to informants, undercover agentsWhat the feds didn't count on was that bodycam videos were worn by undercover Metropolitan Police officers. It shows the undercover officers cheering on and encouraging the demonstrators. The documents says, “Bodycam videos worn on January 6 by undercover Metropolitan Police officers show the undercover officers cheering on the demonstrators, with chants of ‘Go! Go! Go!,’ ‘Stop the Steal!,’ and ‘Whose House? Our House!’”

“Undercover operatives were planted among the protesters as instigators; not just observers.”
The only thing missing was the "Hey hey, ho ho, Joey Biden's gotta go, hey hey, ho ho, . . . "
The attorney also points out that there were “at least 10 to 12 additional, previously unknown plain-clothes MPD officers among the Proud Boys on January 6.”
The attorney also points out that there were “at least 10 to 12 additional, previously unknown plain-clothes MPD officers among the Proud Boys on January 6.”
This means that there were no less than 50 informants who had infiltrated the group on that day riling up the protesters.
Oh my–DOJ withheld info re DC Metro police involvement until just recently (Proud Boys trial started in DECEMBER) and one officer deleted evidence from his device.

The fact that law enforcement agencies had infiltrated the Proud Boys and other right-wing groups is not new, but this latest revelation shows how involved they actually were.

The fact that law enforcement agencies had infiltrated the Proud Boys and other right-wing groups is not new, but this latest revelation shows how involved they actually were.
From the report:
In the papers, some of which were heavily redacted, the lawyers claimed that some of the information the confidential sources had provided to the government was favorable to their efforts to defend their clients against sedition charges and was improperly withheld by prosecutors until several days ago.These new revelations should help the defense of those charged by the shady government that goaded them into committing crimes. But don't count on it.
In a sealed filing quoted by the defense, prosecutors argued that hundreds of pages of documents related to the F.B.I. informants were neither “suppressed” by the government nor directly relevant to the case of the Proud Boys facing sedition charges: Enrique Tarrio, the group’s former leader; Joseph Biggs; Ethan Nordean; Zachary Rehl; and Dominic Pezzola.
If the allegations made by the defense attorney are accurate, it means government agents were actively encouraging the people present at the Capitol building to engage in violence. They were goading these individuals into committing crimes, which is the type of corruption that has been rife in the Bureau since its inception.
