What Really Happened on J6?

January 6, 2021, continues to be in the news, and it is becoming more controversial as time passes. The latest claims were put forth by Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.): “We believe that there were easily 200 FBI undercover assets operating in the crowd, outside the Capitol, embedded into groups that entered the Capitol or provoked entry of the Capitol.” 

Higgins made this statement during an appearance on the Tucker Carlson Network in an interview that aired Saturday, the third anniversary of the mob attack on the Capitol. According to Rob Bleuy, Higgins is one of a few elected Republicans who continue to question what happened on January 6, 2021, also known as J6.

“Given the scope of the operation and the number of doors where entry was allowed or even encouraged – and the number of people that were actually outside the Capitol and that entered – we believe 200 [is a] conservative number,” Higgins said of his estimate.

Carlson reacted with alarm.

“It’s shocking what you’re saying and confirms everyone’s worst suspicions about this,” Carlson told Higgins. “It’s clearly true.”

Based on the evidence he’s reviewed, Higgins said FBI assets worked with the Local Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department and U.S. Capitol Police. The assets were dressed as supporters of then-President Donald Trump inside the Capitol, “because those were the guys that knew their way around the Capitol.”

Even though FBI Director Christopher Wray refuses to answer questions about J6 and Attorney General Merrick Garland boasts about the number of J6ers being arrested, they have been dubbed among the “professional liars” who use a “one-sided narrative about what happened on that day.” Higgins had law enforcement experience before being elected to Congress and has led the effort to learn the truth. He, along with other Republicans, are pressing for answers.

For example, as a member of Congress familiar with the U.S. Capitol, Higgins said it’s unfathomable to believe that everyday Americans in Washington, D.C., would know how to navigate the building without help.

“There’s no way they can come in some random door that gets opened and then get their way directly to Statuary [Hall] or the House chamber or the Senate chamber. It’s just not possible,” Higgins explained. “The FBI assets that were dressed as Trump supporters that were inside the Capitol were there, I believe, and evidence indicates that they were there to specifically wave in the Trump supporters that had gathered outside the Capitol.” …

Higgins told Carlson these undercover assets guided protesters “directly to the areas where the FBI, the DOJ, and the Deep State actors” would later be able to implicate them for arrest and prosecution….

“It’s a complex web of FBI assets across the country that can be activated. So, if you have authority at some of the highest levels in the FBI, it doesn’t take much,” Higgins said. He added that those who planned it were “the faction within the FBI and within our intelligence services that would coordinate with the most extreme liberal factions within the Democrat Party that were desperate to keep Trump out of office.”

According to Higgins, the “200 undercover assets were confidential informants, registered informants, nonregistered informants, and voluntary informants.” Higgins said that the group of assets had “a goal of tarnishing not just Trump’s reputation but also the people associated with the Make America Great Again movement.

“Their objective was to destroy the entire MAGA movement,” Higgins said, “to forever stain the patriotic fervor that was associated with the America First MAGA movement that had won in 2016 and we believe won again in 2020.” 

…

Higgins called the FBI’s involvement “conspiratorial corruption,” and said it predated Jan. 6 for many months when FBI assets were engaged in online forums of Americans who questioned COVID-19 restrictions and the integrity of the 2020 presidential election.

“I’m following the evidence, and to my horror, it implicates our FBI at the highest level.” Higgins told Carlson. “A conspiracy within our government at the highest level to set the stage for a compromised election cycle in 2020. And then the actions that took place on J4, 5, and 6, and then the criminal investigation, arrest, prosecution of Americans that they were able to entrap.”

Higgins is urging House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to “release more information, beyond just video footage, about Jan. 6. He said the only true way to uncover what really happened is for the American people to have access. He has a responsibility to fully release that data,” Higgins said of Johnson. “And then then American people will see for themselves what some of us have already learned, to our horror, to be true.”
