US EditionLeaked Memo Reveals FBI Deployed A Stunning 274 Agents On J6, Causing Internal Revolt
- On January 6, 2021, the FBI sent 274 plainclothes agents armed and without clear safety equipment into the Capitol complex amid the riot.
- This deployment occurred after the riot started and followed criticism that the FBI had inadequately supported the summer 2020 riots across America.
- The operation was disorganized, drawing searing internal criticism in a 50-page after-action report withheld from the public for over four years.
- One agent expressed that they had been manipulated as tools in a political conflict, while Chairman Jim Jordan pledged to investigate why the presence of additional FBI personnel involved in the Capitol events had not been fully disclosed earlier.
- This revelation raises questions about FBI leadership, potential political bias, and the agency's preparedness and transparency during January 6 and prior events.
