Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, September 29, 2025

Donald Trump is blaming the FBI for inciting the Capitol riot, which saw his supporters storm the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election. Trump ranted on Truth Social, without evidence, that the FBI "secretly placed" 274 agents into the "Stop the Steal" crowd gathered in Washington, D.C., on the day of the riot. Right-wing media reported on Friday that FBI agents were involved in the riot. But those reports conflate the FBI's response to the riot with conservative conspiracy theories hefting blame for the attack onto FBI undercover agents.

How House Republicans plan to rewrite history of Jan. 6
www.politico.com

... A new House panel will re-investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol attack with an eye toward recasting the narrative about the events in Washington that day.

It's the latest sign that the deadly riot remains a wound on Congress that might never fully heal amid ferocious partisan sparring. Retribution, not reconciliation, appears to be the prime motivation behind the new probe, with the Republicans behind it still bitter over the work of the panel's previous iteration, which was largely led by Democrats and concluded President Donald Trump was singularly to blame for the violence inflicted by his supporters.

One GOP member of the new panel, Louisiana Rep. Clay Higgins, did not rule out questioning members of the prior committee.

"They were not invested in actual investigative work anyway," said Higgins, who has pushed an unfounded theory that FBI agents helped coordinate the events at the Capitol. "That thing was never legitimate. It was always biased. And therefore, if we question them, it may be with the angle of having them implicate themselves in lies that they presented as truth."

Speaker Mike Johnson called it "a committee investigating the previous committee" in a CNN interview Sunday and said the prior effort "was rigged."

The panel's chair, Georgia Rep. Barry Loudermilk, describes the investigation more soberly. He said in an interview that GOP staff have been quietly toiling for months, even before Johnson moved to formalize the probe this month.

Loudermilk said his team has been "talking to different entities," reviewing documents and brainstorming potential investigative targets.

"We need to look at it from a factual standpoint," he said. "It's dangerous out there. There were a lot of civilians, as well as members of Congress and staff and even press that were here on Jan. 6. And I think we're all interested to know, why did the Capitol get breached " regardless of who did it " how did it get breached?" ...

The agents showed up AFTER the insurrection started and were NOT in plain clothes.

It's in the memo.

Our country has become a giant gaslighting bag of incompetence and lies, mixed with the complicity of the SCOTUS.

With almost 300 FBI agents in the crowd (that they admit to) one would think it would lowered the protest temperature. They were there only to incite and then document. It WAS a deep state set up.

The "insurrection" lasted all of 3 hours and the only one who got killed was an unarmed protestor. So go grab some Kinzinger tissues you -------.

From the article that 9 and 10 didn't read... assuming that they can read.

"Right-wing media incorrectly claimed that the FBI had 274 undercover agents in the Capitol riot crowd"

But hey, the Cult Leader is always right, even when he's lying his ass off, which is almost always.

Who was at the head of a murderous mob.

You people really, and obviously, want to feel good about yourselves.

You're going to have to try much harder.

It looks like Trump is really and truly setting up to let Ghislane Maxwell go.

Will that create any sort of inner conflict for you two, I wonder?

I still can't believe that literally dozens of Trump's own (disloyal) DOJ and other aides and lawyers testified under Oath to his crimes.... when it's so obvious that he is as innocent as... as... Vlad in Ukraine!

This brings up a thought for me.

How in the world does anyone work themselves up to -------- in public, as in the Capitol? With hundreds of people watching?

I mean, did they have to practice?

Several police officer's wives would beg to differ, as would the family of another protester who was trampled during the riots. But hey, don't let facts get in the way of your fgtry.

- this conspiracy theory was already tried and debunked years ago
- the report says the FBI agents were deployed AFTER the violence started
- Trump was President
- the FBI director was appointed by Trump

But let's go with your train of thought. Trump supporters are so weak minded and prone to violence that they were easily convinced into starting an insurrection. We can believe that.

Wow, interesting. Can you give us a name of the police officer who was killed at the capital by the murderous mob? You would have thought it would have been made public by now.

I know, really. I was asking for them when Biden had them for 4 years. Where were you?

That woman who was shot by police on J6 is dead because she asked for it.

I used to think this was the sort of argument MAGA could understand.

These officers perished because the decomposing------------------- was curb-stomped by President Biden.

Liar. Natural causes and taking their own lives.

Only one person was killed.

Videos of one particular person inciting a riot the night before...the one the crowd shouted FBI at was there again on J6.

What did the FBI do about him?

Don't trust your eyes and ears, folks. Only put your trust in Dear Leader. Ignore the fact that the FBI was still under Dear Leaders control at the time.

Nice whatabout.

But you're right, what did happen to him?

Now that we're past that hard part, want to talk about the hundreds (thousands?) of others who partook of their own volition and desecrated a sacred space for our Republic?
