Kash Patel has walked back false claims by his boss Donald Trump that undercover FBI agents may have caused the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol, stating instead that agents were sent on a “crowd control mission.”

The FBI Director stopped short of agreeing with the president that the agents present on the day had been the “agitators,” but agreed that sending them into the mob was a breach of Bureau protocol. It comes after Trump posted a trademark rant on Truth Social in which he claimed former FBI Director Christopher Wray had lied multiple times to Congress and had some “major explaining to do.”

“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,’” the president fumed.

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

They have manufactured this fictional universe and they keep plugging more and more bullshit into it to cover up the attempted insurrection that they carried out.
