The FBI role in January 6 events

 PJ Media:

The Department of Justice's (DOJ) Inspector General's (IG) report on the FBI's complicity in the January 6 riot reveals that the one-time law enforcement agency-turned-intelligence operation had 26 assets on the ground on the Capitol Complex when a riot broke out. Though this IG report didn't go into it, videos also show that Metropolitan Police, Capitol Police, and likely DHS agents were also in the crowd.

The DOJ-IG also reports that while three of the FBI assets were assigned to be at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, those were the only confidential human sources (CHS) officially tasked "by FBI field offices to report on specific domestic terrorism case subjects who were possibly attending the events of January 6." Indeed, "One of these three CHSs entered the Capitol during the riot. The other two entered the restricted area around the Capitol," according to the report.

The Inspector General said that there were definitely no FBI agents anywhere around the riot that day.

The FBI Did Not Have Any Undercover Employees at the Ellipse, on the National Mall, or at the Capitol on January 6. We found no evidence in the materials we reviewed or the testimony we received showing or suggesting that the FBI had undercover employees in the various protest crowds, or at the Capitol, on January 6. 

However, the IG does admit that one of the official FBI informants went inside the Capitol Complex. 

Laughably, Stephen D’Antuono, the agent brought in to oversee the January 6 information operation after his "successful" Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping operation using agents and assets, told the IG that "FBI policy does not permit the FBI to have undercover employees in crowds at First Amendment-protected events absent some investigative authority, and the WFO CTD ASAC told the OIG that he denied a request from an FBI office to have an undercover employee engage in investigative activity on January 6."

...

 Indeed, during the Proud Boys trial, in which the head of the group, a federal informant who was not at the January 6 event, was sentenced to 22 years in prison, we learned during sworn testimony that there were literally hundreds of federal assets in the crowd on January 6. 

...

The 22-year sentence seems awfully harsh for participating in a demonstration.  No doubt, the FBI assets were not given criminal sentences of any link.  When the Trump administration is sworn in these harsh sentences should be reviewed.  I get the impression that the Biden administration was rattled by the display and probably overreacted.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
