MAGAs all over the FBI Facebook page are brigading the comments with Conspiracies about the whole January 6 arrests being a political witchhunt, and that the Ex-capital police officer is a fall guy for Ray Epps.

Very nutty comments over there on Facebook.

When I see them say that, or Pelosi orchestrated the whole thing, I clap back, that's why I hope all those arrested get long jail sentences. If they worked with Pelsoi, screw her and the Dems. Then they get really confused and defensive back. Like why you mad Antifa in jail? You can't have it both ways. Lol.

I do love that shit bag Steve Scalise asked why Nancy Pelosi did not ask for the National Guard during the insurrection. The mother fucker was literally standing next to her when she did.

But yeah, throw all the insurrectionists in jail. Those antifa bastards.

Good job. Always put them on the defensive. If they think antifa was responsible, why didn't Trump do anything to stop the breach? If it wasn't an insurrection, why the fuck were there pipe bombs and why did groups like the Oath Keepers feel the need to have a stash of guns nearby? If Ashli Babbit is such a patriot and martyr, why did she not listen to very clear instructions from law enforcement?

Always be the interrogator to these shit heads. Get them to question their delusional reality.

Yup. I'm Jewish and it really pisses me off seeing people defend Kanye over Twitter. Like, can't we draw a line at Antisemitism?

You think if Ilhan Omar said I'm going death Con 3 on Christians tonight, and got a measley 6 hour ban like Janye would, conservatives would be defending her "free speech" rights? We have fallen so far as a nation. Very sad.

Ok, autocorrect said Janye, and I'm keeping it that way. Ha!

We haven't 'drawn a line' for anything else. We've spent the last decade seeing Republican politicians call for trans people to be assaulted, imprisoned or executed, and get cheers instead of consequences. Among no shortage of other minority groups also being blamed for all of society's problems.

Bro I don't even encounter visibly Jewish people in my day to day life. Like I think the last time I saw a person who was obviously Jewish, because of the curly hair things, was like 10 years ago. And I live in a major city.

You really can't develop a hatred for Jews without consuming mountains of hateful propaganda. There is no "what everyone wants to say" I legit do not give one fuck or another about someone's Jewish heritage. People need to learn to use their eyes more often.

I still have mine, just rarely check it. What I found "interesting" is the following: super happy Trump won, fine you voted for your choice. Then becoming absolutely livid over getting blocked or banned because they posted TrUtH about the Dems in the form of calling for death or injury to political figures. Then they got "smart" with stupid ass little comments that won't get them in trouble but they expressed themselves. Whining like fucking toddlers over issues very few of us have researched.

Well, that, and: >After Hiles was charged in mid-January 2021, the indictment alleges, the two men spoke on the phone for 23 minutes. Afterward, Riley told Hiles he would give him a tour of the Capitol next time.

That's a pretty long "single lapse of judgement", especially when your messages makes it clear he thinks investigators might be interested in the incriminating parts of the social media post.

I can sorta buy that the cop was "duped", it's pretty easy for these people to play the victim to a sympathetic ear, but even if he was, it appears obvious the intent was to obstruct justice. A best case is he attempted to obstruct justice for a guy who was playing him.

We are on the same page. I was at the Capital when they "claim" there was a "riot". Hogwash. A sea of peaceful people Strolling down the street , very few trash cans, yet there was no trash in the street. What trash that was attempted to be thrown out was neatly stacked next to the overflowing trash can. We are law abiding citizens. Amazingly, there are videos showing the Capotial Police opening the doors and waving people in. Waving the people up the steps and towards Pelosi's desk /computer. Staged, illegal all the way threw, but not by people there standing up legally, peacefully. For our stolen vote.

He is currently serving a five-month sentence on the charges.

So. Is your argument that:

  1. The Proud Boys were not involved
  2. The Proud Boys are actually part of the FBI
  3. The FBI was actually behind the riot

Sound right?

Or is it a simpler explanation that the FBI was slow to react because of its general doofiness?

I'm pretty sure it's possible to be jailed awaiting trial, but it's a completely legitimate part of law enforcement. It's normally done to flight risks or people who are considered threats if they're let out. Those two things definitely apply to a lot of the more intense Jan 6ers.
