Exclusive | FBI lost count of how many paid informants were at Capitol on Jan. 6, and later performed audit to figure out exact number: ex-official

The FBI had so many paid informants at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, that they lost track of the number and had to perform an audit to determine how many “Confidential Human Sources” wer…

Chuckle at this.

stupid FBI. Why position so many informants to inform of what Nancy Pelosi didn't expect to happen? Hey wait a minute, if they weren't expecting something to happen, maybe those informants weren't actually informants. Maybe they were there to MAKE something happen......naaa, @blazers will snuff that theory if he hasn't already. Cause you know, Trump appointed blah blah blah.

You can play the blame Trump game on everything including that your coffee didn't have enough creamer this morning because that's what you do,

lol, ever thought how if Harris had gotten elected, @blazers would have made a great press secretary for her?

You mentioned CofC, what does FBI have to do with House Speaker?

CofC refers to those (not the FBI, etc.) involved in the official proceedings that day, and in general. If the FBI knew enough to plant all those informants, it would be ludicrous to think that Pelosi wasn't made fully aware of potential problems, and just as ludicrous to believe that she wouldn't have acted simply because that wasn't in her list of duties.. Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to make this perfectly clear to everyone else, since I'm sure you already knew what I was conveying.

If it isn't in her list of duties, and she's aware, then surely the people who DID have this in their list of duties would be aware too, know? So again, why it is her responsibility? Shouldn't the folks that had this duty have performed their job?

Thoughts on the inflationary price increases for items from Mexico If Trump isn't bluffing? I was kinda joking about Tequila once ...

Prices would only inflate if the Mexican companies were able to pass on the tariffs to the consumers. They can do this if Mexico is the only place a given good can be sourced from. If tequila/avocados can be made/grown in the US, then the Mexican producers of those goods will have to eat the tariffs to continue to price competitively with the US produced options.

it's getting kind of funny, your driving down this dead end street of an argument. Very simply, someone in her position doesn't responsibly look in her employee handbook and say. 'well, looks like it's not really my problem'. Particularly when she was using her position to practically foam at the mouth over the rally being held in the first place..

House SAA says security requests denied at Capitol


"The former chief of U.S. Capitol Police says security officials at the House and Senate rebuffed his early requests to call in the National Guard ahead of a demonstration in support of President Trump that turned into a deadly attack on Congress.

Former chief Steven Sund -- who resigned his post last week after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for him to step down -- made the assertions in an interview with The Washington Post published Sunday.

Sund contradicts claims made by officials after Wednesday's assault on Capitol Hill. Sund's superiors said previously that the National Guard and other additional security support could have been provided, but no one at the Capitol requested it.

Sund told the Post that House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving was concerned with the "optics" of declaring an emergency ahead of the protests and rejected a National Guard presence. He says Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenger recommended that he informally request the Guard to be ready in case it was needed to maintain security.?


And who does the House SAA report to? Conversely, who does the SOH oversee?

sarge at arms reports to SOH

Are you seriously going to suggest that the SAA acted without Pelosi's awareness?

Thoughts on the idea that Mexico can do something regarding drugs and illegal aliens entering the US? I don't think there is much they can do. They could probably do some things regarding LEGAL migration, but not illegal.

Thoughts on the inflationary price increases for items from Mexico If Trump isn't bluffing? I was kinda joking about Tequila once ...

Mexico can do much to prevent these caravans and other groups from crossing over THEIR border, which many would have to do in order to get to OUR border. That's in part what Trump had worked out with Mexico and I believe maybe Guatemala in his first term.

Thoughts on the economic burden of unchecked illegal immigration with the accompanying drug and crime problems? Or should we just look at the more immediate opportunities to whine and bitch about something that Trump does. I'm trying to recall you pissing and moaning as much about the Biden/Harris open door policy as you seem to want to do about tariffs, but nothing comes to mind.
