2024-12-17 15:22:40 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

January 6th was not a "fedsurrection." The FBI had informants among the crowd, which is normal law enforcement tactics. Informants are not undercover agents. They are people who belong to criminal groups, who voluntarily give vital information to law enforcement. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/conspiracy-theories-paint-fraudulent-reality-of-jan-6-riot https://www.politico.com/news/2024/12/12/fbi-jan-6-undercover-agents-inspector-general-report-00194036 https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/5037393-janurary-sixth-fbi-undercover-agents-capitol-riot/ https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/12/us/politics/fbi-informants-report-capitol-jan-6.html

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1868412480466059690

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
