Four and a half years after Donald Trump incited a deadly insurrection in Washington, D.C., where his devoted cult followers stormed the Capitol, assaulted police officers, threatened the lives of members of Congress (and his own vice-president), he is still manufacturing lies to rewrite history, absolve himself of guilt, and blame the victims for his violent attack on American democracy.

This week there were reports published that accused the FBI of inserting undercover agents into the MAGA mob on January 6th to provoke the hostilities encouraged by their Dear Leader Trump. Those reports were published by a notoriously dishonest “news” outlet founded by conspiracy crackpot Glenn Beck. And naturally, Trump latched onto the story to advance his unrelenting litany lies about the horrific event, to demean the law enforcement institutions that he despises, and to exonerate the 1,500+ rioters that he pardoned.

In a comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump took a bold stance in support of lawlessness and cop beatings. He regurgitated the spurious allegations against the FBI as if they were facts saying that…

“It was just revealed that the FBI had secretly placed, against all Rules, Regulations, Protocols, and Standards, 274 FBI Agents into the Crowd just prior to, and during, the January 6th Hoax.”

What Trump asserts was “just revealed” were unfounded allegations published by the ultra-rightist rag, “The Blaze.” And his description of the violent insurrection as “the January 6th Hoax” furthers his dishonest efforts to portray the well documented treason as some sort of myth. But he was just getting started. He continued…

“This is different from what Director Christopher Wray stated, over and over again! That’s right, as it now turns out, FBI Agents were at, and in, the January 6th Protest, probably acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists, but certainly not as ‘Law Enforcement Officials.’ I want to know who each and every one of these so-called ‘Agents’ are, and what they were up to on that now ‘Historic” Day.'”

Trump doesn’t bother to specify how Wray’s account events was “different” or untrue. But Trump does unload some lies of his own, alleging that FBI agents were “acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists.” Trump only wants to know who the falsely accused agents are so that he can continue his crusade of retribution, which was recently escalated with his indictment of former FBI Director, James Comey.

Not surprisingly, Trump was entirely wrong. The agents were not there prior to the violence. Nor were they “acting as Agitators.” And as it turns out, the depths of his departure from reality were exposed by his own FBI director, Kash Patel in a story published by Fox News. No, really…

“The FBI responded on Saturday to a report that 274 plainclothes agents were at the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, clarifying the role of bureau personnel while still blasting former Director Christopher Wray.

While the agents were on hand, they were sent in after the riot had begun to try to control the unruly crowd, officials told Fox News Digital.” […]

“‘Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the riot was declared by Metro Police – something that goes against FBI standards,’ Patel told Fox News Digital. ‘This was the failure of a corrupt leadership that lied to Congress and to the American people about what really happened.'”

So the truth is that the FBI agents that were there were not “undercover.” And they were only there to attempt to quell the disturbance and prevent further lawlessness. And it’s likely they were sent because Trump was doing absolutely nothing about it (other than watching from the White House with glee). No FBI agents were assigned to, nor participated in, events that contributed to or exacerbated the riots incited by Trump. That’s according to Kash Patel.

Furthermore, neither Trump nor Patel cited any statements by Wray (who was appointed by Trump) to Congress that were untruthful. They made ambiguous and baseless statements about Wray’s testimony where he denied any activity by agents that provoked the riots. Which was true. But that didn’t stop Trump and Patel from asserting that some unspecified falsehood was made anyway.

What’s more, in a bizarre twist, the insurrection that Trump has denied took place, or was just a bunch of peaceful, patriotic tourists, he is now admitting was a horrendous breach of the law perpetrated by the FBI over which he presided, and his faithful followers.

This is standard operating procedure for the Trump regime. Make false allegations against your political foes, beck them up with stories from partisan rags, and shamelessly disseminate those lies to the media. However, in this case, they failed to coordinate their propaganda, and the result is that Patel is actually contradicting his boss in the White House. Which is an example of another trait of Trump World in addition to its dishonesty: Incompetence. For which, in a painfully ironic way, we should be grateful.
