Just because you are an unindicted co-conspirator doesn’t mean you are an undercover FBI operative. You might recall that “Individual One“ in the Michael Cohen indictment was not an undercover FBI operative. |
Nope. The “unindicted co-conspirator“ in the Thomas Caldwell indictment is his own wife. It’s not antifa, it’s not BLM, and it’s not the FBI. https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_60cbd794e4b0c101b70b2f74 |
I'm not talking about some specific case. I'm saying this is standard FBI behavior. And to the pp who said "there's no evidence the FBI was a part of things," why would there be? Wray refused to answer when asked that question. No one would have reason to use well known FBI tactics to infer their likely role here if there were evidence. They don't usually broadcast it, and in this particular situation? Hell no, they wouldn't be broadcasting it. And no one's saying it was even wrong. But to deny it as if it's blasphemy or a conspiracy theory is putting one's ignorance on display. |
Hot tip: if there is no evidence for something, it’s a conspiracy theory. |
And the FBI doesn't just infiltrate random groups and "encourage criminal activity." They infiltrate groups that are already engaged in criminal activity. |
Oh, for sure. And they encourage the activity and take an active role in it. |
The issue is that if they were indeed there, it’s a problem because the violence still happened. Infiltrating the group is fine. Finding out violence is being planned should be reported. |
Perhaps you've forgotten that there were FBI reports to the US Capitol Police that there would be violence on the 6th and that those reports were ignored? |
That's incorrect. They identify EXISTING criminal behavior and EXISTING intent to commit crime and only get close enough to it to get evidence to convict those involved. |
I wish I were as naive as you. We KNOW that they often encourage, incite and even pay money for criminal behavior. https://www.hrw.org/news/2014/07/21/us-terrorism-prosecutions-often-illusion# “But take a closer look and you realize that many of these people would never have committed a crime if not for law enforcement encouraging, pressuring, and sometimes paying them to commit terrorist acts.” "The FBI often targeted particularly vulnerable people, including those with intellectual and mental disabilities and the indigent. The government, often acting through informants, then actively developed the plot, persuading and sometimes pressuring the targets to participate, and provided the resources to carry it out." Here's a story of what happened with the plot to kidnap Gov Whitmer last year: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2021/03/05/confidential-informant-expected-testify-whitmer-plot-hearings-resume-friday/4590870001/ |
OMG, enough already.
The 1/6 events were planned, coordinated and funded. The FBI didn't spur it. |
Okay, okay. If you think we should it put it to bed, let's do that. ![]() |
There’s no evidence to the contrary except for what comes out of Tucker Carlson’s freakishly small mouth. |
How quickly the conversation went from "the FBI doesn't do that, duh" to "there's no evidence it happened." Next it will be "so what if they did, it was warranted." |
I love how MAGA-folks never own their actions. Losers! |
