DOJ Inspector General Releases Jan. 6 Bombshell: Dozens of FBI 'Confidential Human Sources' Were in Crowd
Story by Randy DeSoto • 7h The Western Journal
The 79-page report delved into the FBI's handling of confidential human sources and the bureau's intelligence collection efforts in the lead-up to the Capitol incursion.
There were a total of 26 confidential human sources on the ground on Jan. 6. Of that group, four entered the Capitol and an additional 13 entered the restricted area around the building.
"None of these FBI CHSs were authorized 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," the report said.
"The [Office of Inspector General] determined that many of these 26 CHSs had provided information relevant to the January 6 Electoral Certification before the event and that a few CHSs also provided information about the riot as it occurred."
The OIG also uncovered records indicating one confidential human source who entered the Capitol was reimbursed for his travel expenses for being present at the incursion and later, President Joe Biden's inauguration on Jan. 20, 2021.
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley reacted to the IG's report posting on social media platform X that it "may raise more questions than answers. It confirms that confidential sources did indeed enter the Capitol and restricted areas.
"The question is whether the presence of these sources were revealed to the defense in the hundreds of prosecutions."
