Original Note:
The conspiracy claim is that the FBI had “Agents” at the event to influence it, not that the FBI merely had eyes on the event unfolding on Jan. 6 through confidential informants. “Informants" and "sources” are not “Agents.” https://www.fbi.gov/about/faqs/are-informants-regular-employees-of-the-fbi#:~:text=Informants%20are%20individuals%20who%20supply,for%20their%20information%20and%20expenses. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/01/04/fbi-conspiracy-jan-6-attack-misinformation/
