New video from January 6 appears to show two police officers at the U.S. Capitol building discussing a plan to “go undercover as antifa in the crowd.”
In the video, which seems to be located at the Capitol building on January 6, one hooded officer wearing, a mask and goggles, hands a water bottle to another, notably uniformed officer as he discusses entering the protesting crowd disguised as a far-left agitator.
“When we go undercover as antifa in the crowd, so…can you put that back in?” the masked officer asks a visually distressed uniformed officer, who then places the water bottle in his bag.
The masked officer then appears to ask other officers in the area if they had been sprayed, seemingly referring to tear gas or pepper spray.
“You guys get sprayed? Here, here,” the masked officer states before placing the phone down to ostensibly assist the additional officers.

Users online have sought to identify the officer by zooming the video in on his badge number, though it’s unclear if the low resolution video is able to relay an accurate picture.
I think it’s 2329 from this shot. pic.twitter.com/cB7gneA8zg

The development comes amid growing public concern over the prospect that undercover law enforcement assets may have been embedded within the election protest on January 6.

Video went viral earlier this month after it seemed to show the mostly peaceful protests of January 6 were sparked by police using tear gas against peaceful protesters, rather than a tweet from 45th President Donald Trump, as the Department of Justice has repeatedly maintained.
The DOJ claims Trump’s 2:24 p.m. tweet about Mike Pence not having “the courage to do what should have been done” sparked the violence, however, video shows police began launching tear gas indiscriminately into the crowd at the same time.

I think most of us already knew this. The real question is WHEN will Pelosi be indicted for being behind the 1/6 event and then using taxpayer money to run “hearings” to cover it up?
