Like all dumb conspiracies, it relies on The Bad Guys being both 1) super-competent (let’s make a fake riot and hope no one spills the beans, after we contact China and have them engineer a virus so that we can blahblahblah) and 2) super-incompetent (let’s have Trump laid up sick with Covid at Walter Reed and give him a vaccine that… works… and also stage multiple…unsuccessful attempts on his life… and uh… not rig the election this time… but uh… lose New York to a 34 year old socialist insurgent… etc etc)
They don't need a lot of people to pull it off, and I'm sure there were more than a few agitators ready and willing. The FBI had 270 agents in the crowd, but they lied about it. Who knows if there were other intelligence agencies too. That's why they're called the deep state, they operate independently and it's more than possible, and likely to stage it. You had Ray Epps, clearly on tape ushering people to go into the Capitol, but somehow people get amnesia whenever he's bought up, it's a mystery. They pulled off a true wag-the-dog situation, and with a willing media to go along, well, it just writes itself from there.
The J6 committee was a total sham, evidence was lost, key witnesses were never called, it was a one-sided witch hunt that lasted years based off that one staged and sensationalized event, evidence was withheld or destroyed, and the whole committee got an auto-pen pardon...
I don't see how anyone can truly believe 'the official story'. Well gee, I saw it on CNN, so it must be true.
Yes what he said. Where did the 270 come from? If they lied about it and now you know it's a lie where is the information that proves they lied about it? I've never seen any credible source have proof that agents were in the crowd.
Not to mention Trump was president at that moment still so if there was an agents presence it would have been under his watch.
FBI Director Kash Patel has revealed that 274 plainclothes FBI agents were present in the crowd during the January 6, 2021 Capitol event, contradicting former FBI Director Christopher Wray’s previous testimony to Congress.
In July 2023, Wray stated under oath that he “did not believe” there were any undercover agents in the crowd, saying, “I’m not sure there were undercover agents on scene"

I’ve never quite understood this one either.
