WASHINGTON — A day before rioters stormed Congress, an FBI office in Virginia issued an explicit internal warning that extremists were preparing to travel to Washington to commit violence and "war," according to an internal document reviewed by The Washington Post that contradicts a senior official's declaration that the bureau had no intelligence indicating that anyone at last week's pro-Trump protest planned to do harm.
A situational information report approved for release the day before the U.S. Capitol riot painted a dire portrait of dangerous plans, including individuals sharing a map of the complex's tunnels, and possible rally points for would-be conspirators to meet up

Government, media, and tech are painting all that attended the jan. 6 DC rally wIth being a violent mob rather than a massive peaceable assembly with a fringe violent element on the frontline. The violent frontline opened the path that was taken by the peaceful assembly that had no way of knowing what had preceded them. To them it was a tour of our beautiful capital grounds.

They can't get their lies straight, can they?
The made up, fictional story keeps being adjusted to try to make it sound worse.

The FIB appears to have become a political operation. Too bad.

We know that there are undercover agents infiltrating antifa groups, so they might have been the source of some warnings. Clearly they brought tools for breaking windows. Then there might have been a few militia types that got worked up enough to join in.
But many of those that walked in were patriots, who were welcomed in by capitol officers. I saw one man sitting and eating a sandwich in the rotunda...all smiles.
The ones who interest me are the military folks who used the chaos as cover to grab laptops with evidence on Nancy and others. Seven days of hope.

Why would anyone believe anything the FBI says. They will promote anything that looks bad for Trump and his supporters. The swamp is very deep and it’s tentacles go everywhere in government. Every department. Every state in the country.

You can't see this? Really?
The FBI is running cover for BLM and antifa, that's all. They KNEW both groups were going to insight riots and they coordinated with capitol police. Have you ever visited DC? The capitol? The guards at the doors are there to ensure that NO ONE enters the capitol building through the exits. That IS their job. Now, multiply that with the Chicom crap, especially in DC and entering through the exit door is an even bigger no-no. Did you see the videos of capitol police letting in BLM and antifa? Have you not been awake for the past four years? Let that and complete absence of reporting of that sink in. Trump and his supporters were set up. It was staged. It was on purpose. The FBI knew it and they helped make sure it happened. The DC MAGA was a rope-a-dope long before anyone got there. Trump supporters walked right into it without a clue. Pollyanna has do be sent to Fiji. Communications are about to disappear with NO alternative. McQuisling (Rio Lindans that would be McConnell, look up Quisling) thinks this will get us Constitution lovers in line and it will if you have to get in line in order to eat, or keep your job. Truth, facts, data will have no effect just like the past four years only soon they will be impossible to find.

this department is, probably, the most compromised agency of the federal government and must be reigned in but it will not happen. obama is in control and everything biden does will be with obama's approval and everything he doesn't do will be because obama does not want it done or enacted. the anti-christ is alive and among us.

We have heard more about the fbi in the last three weeks (including the bombing in Nashville) than we did in the previous four years of the President's term. Now all of the sudden the fbi can assign resources to investigate something. Now Wray comes out of his closet and can suddenly speak. So now we see that the fbi had early knowledge of the capitol siege. Wray, what to do, bro? Time for another coverup? How convenient.

The FBI has zero credibility. Like DHS under Obama's Napolitano and their report that the biggest domestic terror threat were white male veterans, the FBI and other members of our vaunted law enforcement an intel agencies have been waiting, hoping for the excuse to now actively go after white conservatives.

Indeed, it appears the "extreme right wing" was set-up, and now hoist on their own petards. The thing about it is that this has done, intentionally, I believe, mortal damage to the MAGA movement and crowd. It has sent the Republican party scrambling for cover from the fallout.
This offers less extreme conservatives opportunities. You want a "third party"? Take over a battered Republican party instead. It really is there for the taking...

We lost our Republic and the Dominion Voting Machines aren't going to give it back to us. Asking 'Pretty Please' won't get it back either... we've run out of options. Better wake up!

Thanks to obama/biden the FBI has been politicized... WE can not believe anything they say...WE are now at a point were WE must question everything they say.... case in point the supposed attack on state capitols... don't believe anything they say...this is an attempt to order a martial law edict... in addition to the mask martial law that's in place now...the ruling class in each state... with a few exceptions such as Texas and Florida...my own state is in lockdown martial law from Springfield, Illinois... governor britzger jumped the gun...and has held back the Trump vaccine to "control" the population...GREAT speech President Trump from the border yesterday... Newsmax covered the entire speech and it was great hearing the President....

In 2020, the ANTIFA and BLM bums burned and stormed many police stations and city halls.
They killed 4 policemen and injured 210 more.
Obama Democrats and their commie media did not say a word.
A black Security Guard killed a pretty Air Force woman in the White House and that was OK.
Joe Biden, Kamala and lying Hillary are modern bums.
Trump won the 2020 election.
He should never concede.
Trump should fight for America until the cows come home.

The most serious fault lies with the Capitol Police. Just knowing that there will be tens of thousands of emotional people in town, regardless of their intentions, calls for extra police and defense of the Capitol building where highly controversial legislation would be taking place. This was definitely a setup.
Bowser, the Capitol Police, the DC Police and the FBI all dropped the ball and chances are it was a deliberate fumble.

I'm sure the informed the President who was going to speak at the rally so he could make sure to take an approach and make remarks that would calm the attendees ...

The FUBARS (FBI) never, ever get it right. They went ballistic over Y2K and the damage that would cause. The only thing that happened there is that consulting software engineers made millions reprograming computers for idiot company managers! I laughed all year while they did it leading up to Y2K. The FBI even called me (I was known to be a White Supremacist) and asked if we were planning any actions once the computers all went down. I laughed again and told them they were as stupid as the corporate managers!

I've pointed this out many times on this forum - - - -
Ever since Fey Wray became its director - - the toner in the FBI copy machines is much higher quality than it was before. And so is the carpeting in the FBI executive offices.
So - - you can't blame Fey Wray for any of this.

#7, "appears to have become"???? Where have you been for the last 4 years?
The FBI is now something more akin to the KGB than to the FBI of the 1950s and 60s.

One of the reports I saw tended to discount that “war” remark that many news outlets have grabbed, saying that it was only one mention in an anonymous Tweet.

Both are true. extremists (i.e., Antifa) were planning to make war, but there was no danger from the Trump demonstrators.

The Mayor of DC ordered a light presence at the capitol. The FBI warned there would be a large crowd and announced the organized participants, BLM, Antifa, and Qanon. The leaders of these groups were photographed inside the capitol building. They intend to prosecute 100 plus for the siege. This is not what was done in other riots around the country, in particular, the blue states.

I just received an email from Ronna McDaniel of the Republican party basically saying don't come to D.C. armed and ready to battle. Since I no such intention of doing that, I assumed she is swallowing the MSM line hook, line, and sinker that all Republicans are a domestic terrorists. I quickly shot back a response stating that the Republicans in D.C. are as much responsible for the Capitol Building mess as the Antifa and BLM idiots who caused most of the damage. I also told her the second amendment was placed in the Constitution for exactly the reason what the government is doing. Ignoring the rights of citizens and ignoring the Constitution. I also mentioned Thomas Jefferson's Tree of Liberty quote. The present government as a whole, does not represent the majority of citizens or the Constitution.

So let me understand, during President Trump’s inauguration it was okay for the libs to riot by the thousands, set the town on fire, hold anti Trump speeches threatening violence including burning down the White House, but when we want to voice our outrage, we are criminals and Trump is held accountable for the action of others? I didn’t hear anyone condemning Pelosi and her gang, what a joke. Nice knowing you America.

Now that Nanci has succeded in getting the military into D.C., you can bet that some of them will have orders to "escort" Trump from the White House on Jan 20 in order to capture images that they can use in propaganda: See, Trump refused to leave and we had to send in troops to haul him out. Trump needs to deny them the photo op.

Seems to me the FBLIE is fabricating information to keep the populace stirred up so they can tie it to what they and the Democraps, but I repeat myself, created out of thin air about the demonstration on 6 Jan and exactly what Trump said.
