As long as the stool pigeon does not break the law. No problem if they did not trespass themselves.
No, the traditional perk is immunity from prosecution.

Although in theory the police maintain that informants are not made immune from prosecution should they break the law in the course of their informant career, in practice, much of the lawbreaking of the informant is overlooked in the interest of maintaining him/her as a valuable information source.

Can MAGA make up its mind?

Apparently January 6th was a totally lawful gathering of tourists just being welcomed into the Capitol.
However, the FBI was there, and institgated the violence--you know, the violence that didn't happen according to MAGA.

It was both raining and not raining.
It was both a dark and stormy night, and it was a bright sunny day.

It's anything we need it to be. Cognitive dissonance is very fun. Truth doesn't matter. Everything is relative. And the earth is probably flat.

No, in political movements like this facts don't matter, just the ability to protect the in group from legal consequences which the out group would naturally suffer from. Many examples in the past, none of them ended particularly well for anyone involved.

MAGA Declares Vindication After DOJ IG Report on FBI and Jan. 6 Riot​

Published Dec 14, 2024

Supporters of President-elect Donald Trump and his Make America Great Again (MAGA) political movement declared vindication after the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) released a report about the involvement of FBI informants in the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot.

Nearly four years ago, a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C., in a failed attempt to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden's 2020 election win. The riot erupted following repeated claims from then-President Trump that the election was stolen from him via widespread voter fraud despite there being no evidence of such claims.

The new watchdog report on Thursday revealed that 26 confidential human sources (CHSs) who were working for the FBI were in Washington D.C., on January 6. The informants were not authorized to enter the Capitol or commit illegal acts, but four of them entered the Capitol building, and 13 others entered the restricted area around it. Despite this, none of these informants have faced prosecution.

I have to say I felt vindicated. I went so far as to dredge up the post where I said I wasn't planning on pardoning the FBI for their role in J6.

But the thread was closed and I couldn't pat myself on the back for calling it... Lol.

Then I decided that was kind of a silly thing to be happy about, just a wee bit petty so I didn't do it anywhere.

Lol...

But I am glad this came to light. We need to weed out more corruption in our government.

If we could do that I'd give them a solid raise.

You mean the political movement that will soon control the Presidency, Senate, and House

The political movement that saw their candidate win the Nov 5th presidential election and popular vote, that same candidate that's presently hosting world leaders at his private home, who hasn't even taken office yet

Correct. Last time MAGA was in the White House, they introduced "alternative facts" to the world.

You mean that MAGA guy named Donald Trump that won the presidency and popular vote 6 weeks ago, the guy that's not even President and has world leaders flocking to dine at his table in Mar-A-Lago?

If a person doesn't remember what they said way before, there's no reason why they wouldn't feel vindicated now.


Vindication is a feeling; which means it doesn't have to based on a set of facts. IT just needs to stimulate JUST the right part of your brain.

Your suggested opinion is wrong

If political might means right then that would justify Bidens DOJ political lawfare against Trump and MAGA supporters as being right, once again your suggested claim is "Wrong"!

It's my hope and prayer that the Trump administration goes after everyone that moved unlawfully in politically biased lawfare against Trump and MAGA, can't wait!

I certainly hope that you get your prayers answered and your hope fulfilled!
Then we will all see what kind of man President Trump is!

This thread is about one that led an insurrection when they lost the 2020 election and are now trying anything to make it look like that never happened. See the OP for details.

The FBI had 26 documented human assets under their control at the Jan 6th Capitol event, four of these assets were documented to be inside the capitol building without arrest or prosecution

Was the FBI actively involved in the Jan 6th capitol event as MAGA supporters and several Republican Congressmen have claimed, 100% "Yes"!
