At least 40 undercover local and federal law enforcement assets secretly infiltrated the election protest on January 6, court documents from the Justice Department’s case against Capitol defendant Dominic Pezzola reveal.
Pezzola, a member of the Proud Boys, is currently incarcerated and is facing “seditious conspiracy” charges over his role in the January 6 protest.
Pezolla’s attorney Roger Roots on Wednesday filed a motion detailing the covert presence of numerous law enforcement assets or agents who were reportedly tasked with “conducting surveillance among” protestors, now turned-January 6 criminal defendants.
NEW bombshell filing in Proud Boys trial.
Defense writes that DOJ just recently disclosed involvement of undercover officers/informants from other agencies aside from FBI–DC Metro police and DHS.

According to the court documents, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), DC Metropolitan Police department (MPD), and the “principal investigative arm” of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), were “running” at least 40 undercover agents, informants, or confidential human sources during the riot.
The motion states that along with eight FBI confidential human sources, MPD deployed at least 13 plainclothes agents. HSI utilized 19 confidential human sources.
Video footage and private texts have reportedly shown MPD’s undercover assets instigating the crowd to storm the Capitol building.
“’At least 40 undercover FBI informants’ participated in J6 with Proud Boys but only 5 Proud Boys are being prosecuted?” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted in reaction to the motion.
“The FBI is not supposed to encourage or help people break the law, they should stop people from breaking the law”
“At least 40 undercover FBI informants” participated in J6 with Proud Boys but only 5 Proud Boys are being prosecuted?
Is that right @julie_kelly2?The FBI is not supposed to encourage or help people break the law, they should stop people from breaking the law.
Congress must… https://t.co/4KAvKxC3HU

The Georgia Republican then called upon Congress to take action against corrupt elements within the FBI.
“Congress must defund the corruption from the FBI. The weaponization of government can be stopped through the budget and appropriations,” she said.
One video from the election protest, which seems to be located at the Capitol building on January 6, purportedly shows a hooded officer wearing, a mask and goggles, discussing plans to enter 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.

Federal officials and Washington politicians who supported the January 6 Committee’s “insurrection” narrative had previously claimed that the government was entirely unaware that the protest would turn chaotic, hailing the lack of law enforcement preparedness as one of the worst “intelligence failures” in history.

Beware people. Gov has unlimited sources and no conscious. They will do anything to keep their jobs and please their bosses. There were 80 agents in twitter — How many are in your area listening and taking notes and info. God help us as we are sliding sliding deeper and deeper into Marxism/communism every day.

This is beyond distressing! This is beyond disgusting. How dare the FBI, DOJ putt 40 agents undercover & then say this was an riot.
The FBI, DOJ agents were guilty of inciting this. They should be the ones in jail rather than the people who were peaceful protesters.
It is lie after lie. The house needs to take some action. It has been suggested to defund the FBI, DOJ. After this, it is time to play hardball, to show these sick individuals there will be consequences for them to pay rather than the american people dealing with all the consequences.

I am not surprised there were government agencies there instagating for the riot, I am surprised there were that many. 40 is a lot. They must have been all over the crowd, telling them to storm the Capitol. The bottom line, the January 6 insurrection was another hoax trying to take Trump down. There must be a lot of $h!T going on they are afraid of Trump finding out about.

Does anyone believe that the fascist democRAT Communist party would be doing all, and I mean all, of these things to President Trump if they believed that the narcissist gaffing Moron, who is also a pedophile, actually received 81 million legitimate votes?

Heard online via alternative news, that the crowd got measurably more upset on 1/6 when police were seen pushing an old lady down some steps THREE times.I wish I had a link for you.
I imagine this incident is viewable somewhere in the videos circulating.

When we find out all of the facts, will the Republicans/Government have the intestinal fortitude to hold those responsible who tried to use this for political gain such as Pelosi, Cheney, Kinsinger,etc. Not only for putting their hands on the scale of justice but for wasting the taxpayers – OUR – money and to perpetuate a lie!!

This was a government planned and instigated riot to cover up the Communist election fraud. Any and all allegations of fraud had to be stopped while discrediting true American patriots in the eyes of the public. This was 3ed world politics at its BEST.
