FBI Director Kash Patel once again rises to defend the integrity of the institution he leads.
While Tweeting a link to a Fox News story quoting him, the FBI director says, “274 FBI agents were thrown into crowd control on Jan 6 against FBI standards. That failure was on corrupt leadership. Thanks to agents stepping up, the truth is coming out. Transparency. Justice. Accountability.”
Which begs the questions: 274 FBI plainclothes agents were going to do what, exactly?… How did the FBI know to have 274 agents “on hand” prepared to intervene? And where exactly is “on hand” located?
(VIA FOX NEWS) – The FBI responded on Saturday to a report that 274 plainclothes agents were at the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, clarifying the role of bureau personnel while still blasting former Director Christopher Wray.
While the agents were on hand, they were sent in after the riot had begun to try to control the unruly crowd, officials told Fox News Digital. That is not the proper role of FBI agents, and Wray was not forthcoming about what happened when he testified numerous times on Capitol Hill, Director Kash Patel said.
“Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the riot was declared by Metro Police – something that goes against FBI standards,” Patel told Fox News Digital. “This was the failure of a corrupt leadership that lied to Congress and to the American people about what really happened.”
He added, “Thanks to agents coming forward, we are now uncovering the truth. We are fully committed to transparency, and justice and accountability continues with this FBI.”
There’s no indication any FBI agents were involved in any events related to Trump’s speech on the morning of Jan. 6 at the Ellipse, an FBI official told Fox News Digital, adding that Wray should have disclosed that agents were there when he was asked by congressional leaders. (read more)
Suspicious Cat remains, well, suspicious…
Stop pissing down my back and telling me it’s raining!
It belittles us both!
For some reason the phrase, “…kill it with fire,” comes to mind.
Jeez, ad rem, I’m sorry. Something went haywire on my computer and changed the font and blew the margins.
Sorry!!!! please delete!
Patel said, “There’s no indication any FBI agents were involved in any events related to Trump’s speech on the morning of Jan. 6 at the Ellipse…”
But for the past 5 years they swore there were NO FBI agents in the crowd at any time that day!
How can any human being lie so easily, and so OBVIOUSLY!
By all that’s holy, how long must we endure these despicable, duplicitous, creatures?
They think we are stupid and will soon forget. The DC crowd gives him an attaboy and invite to the coctail party circuit. His girlfriend likes to be popular.
His girlfriend… where to start
If the river was whiskey and I was a duck,
I’d swim to the bottom, might never come up.
How long, how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, or do I hesitate?
Hesitation Blues….traditional, and yes there are other more colorful lyrics.
I can’t defend Kash on this one………
What a doosh…
Consider …. Kash told this whopper to leave the President NO CHOICE but to fire him.
Kash is looking for the exit.
He would not be the first Federal Agency Lead to purposely do something dumb to get fired …. for what ever purpose one can name.
Don’t look now but the guy with an OH SH-T look on his mug is “Deputy Director” Bingino.
Fire him now!
He could ask to speak with the President or he could resign or come out with whatever they are hold into over him to remove that leverage
Does someone have Kash’s mom & dad held hostage or something?
We dont call him Klown Patel for nothing!
Kash is a failure.

I never knew this about J6:
*** “Memos on Jan. 4 and Jan. 5 from the Defense Department and Department of Army restricted the D.C. National Guard from being involved in responding to Jan. 6 pro-Trump protests, ***
Sund confirmed in response to House Administration ranking Democratic Joseph Morelle of New York.
“Sund was unaware of those restrictions until after the attack, he said.”
More proof it was planned.

“… More proof it was planned …”
Agree !!!
To former Chief of U.S. Capitol Police, Steven Sund:
1. what did you think was going on when Pelosi brought a CNN film crew into the Capitol to “set up” hours before the “spontaneous insurrection” ?
2. who gave to orders to the Capitol Police to open the Capitol’s Magnetic Doors ?
Sund is the only honest man in the J6 mission.
Kash is Past Tense 😬 unbelievable forever
Where Were The 274 FBI Agents on J6?
By Jack Cashill
27 Sep 2025
https://open.substack.com/pub/jackcashill/p/where-were-the-274-fbi-agents-on
They were all just hanging out at the local Kosher deli, enjoying a nice pastrami or corned beef sandwiches on rye for lunch with dill pickles and a Cel-Ray soda, just waiting for the call to head over to the Capital and ‘help’.
He has not given me a reason to trust him.
Unfortunately, Kash Patel does NOT have a leadership bone in his body. Barely any management chops.
How could plainclothes agents possibly engage in crowd control? And did they do so? Manifestly not.
Looks to some like they controlled the crowd exceedingly well…….
Duh right. They are running out of ways to hide this
Exactly! The whole point of crowd-control is to make a strong VISIBLE show of law enforcement to break up an unruly crowd. You can’t do that with plain clothes police. They need to be visible as police, usually in riot-gear with shields, batons, helmets, etc. not dressed same as the crowd.
Very likely Patel was fed this nonsense story by his DeepState FBI handlers and Patel was too stupid to realize what he was saying is nonsensical.
(Or perhaps by “crowd control” what they actually mean is the embedded plainclothes feds were controlling the crowds to induce them to riot.)
Bingo!
Patel is being fed nonsense by his DeepState FBI handlers. Patel just regurgitates the nonsense without understanding he is making a fool of himself.
A nonsensical explanation. Nearly 300 “agents” on the sidelines, at the ready in plain clothes…. OK Kash…. got it…
They were there to INCITE, not control.
Patel likes Patel. It’s that simple.
O.K. Kash, if this is in fact true and is not the HORSE-CRAP that it smells and sounds like, then immediately release ALL OF THE COMMS of the entire command structure, e-mails, text, phone calls, etc., ALL OF IT!, as related to the pre-planning of the deployment of these “support” agents, and, ALL OF THE COMMS that actually gave them orders to go ‘help’ at the Capital on J6!!
Let’s see it Kash!!
Time to pick which side you are on, Kash.
FBLIE agents have NEVER been deployed to control a riot. They have no riot control training. You don’t control a riot or stop a riot by being in street clothes blending in with the crowd. I know because I led riot control police units.
That’s total bs!! 274 plain clothes agents to quell a peaceful protest? Don’t seem to remember that while the Marxists were tearing up cities, killing, raping, committing arson and assaulting cops. Oh, that’s right it was “mostly peaceful protests.” Grrrrr this makes me so angry!!
Utterly bs. Couldn’t stop laughing at this bs.
Absolute nonsense. Where is the evidence for this? We have lots of video, no evidence exists that show any fib agents doing “crowd control”. Unless “crowd control” means sheperding innocents into the building. Has Kash Patel not met any fib agents?
“Suspicious Cat remains, well, suspicious…”
Agreed. Are there several of these agents coordinating and telling Patel what he wants to hear? Why did they not speak up long ago?
The biggest question is, if these 274 agents were just for crowd control, why would Wray lie to Congress about it? Why keep it secret for 5 years?
Wasnt’ that picture of the obvious FBI agents congregating together taken long before the event while many were walking to the event. That was long before the “riots” started. And why were the FBI agents herding the J6 patriots into the building. We should be able to see that in the videos.
There is a great difference in behavior of FBI agents called in to quell a possible insurrection and the behavior of FBI agents instigating and shepherding J6 patriots into the white house (some of them were capitol police). Show us the videos and identify the agents.
Many of the Agents had trump flags, MAGA hats, don’t tread on me
Ask any J6er if they ever encountered anyone suspected of being a fed, and whether they thought said fed was trying to peacefully control the crowd.
Or were they like this guy, and trying to “control” the crowd right into committing illegal acts?
The infamous picture you’re describing was at another event after January 6th.
Liar. This was most definitely J6.
Kash should know that to make a claim/excuse like that, be better be able to back it up. He is losing credibility by the hour.
Kash is starting to look really stupid — In the order of Baghdad Bob!
Kash, leave and take Bondi with you. The two of you are worthless.
Turn this whole J6 FBI involvement controversy over to Tulsi. She’ll leave no stone unturned, and give us a truthful report.
Fire Bondi and replace her with Tulsi who has already been confirmed.
If we could clone Tulsi, yes, but otherwise she is too valuable in her current location with access to ALL information from all agencies.
Me. no trust Krash Padel.
Kash, the idiot, needs to be fired last week. Why Trump puts up with him is beyond me.
Waterboard Wray, he will tell the truth !
I was waterboarded in Army training at Ft Bragg by the 82nd Airborne troops, in Feb 1968. It didn’t go well for those on top of me.
It took 6 of them to hold me and I still caused quite a ruckus. As far as I was concerned, they were the enemy and all bets were OFF! I eventually ended up in Viet Nam, that was a Hell Hole, not because of the enemy, but mainly because of really Dumb Army Leadership!
He is a Patel, which are members of a Gujarati Hindu subcaste. This guy played the long game with President Trump. He is corrupt.
The other sneaky one is Vivek Ramaswamy. The whole state of Ohio will be Indian…..one giant filthy, bedbug infested motel.
There is another way to look at why this is so stupid.
He is a Patel, which are members of a Gujarati Hindu subcaste. This guy played the long game with President Trump. He has an agenda that has nothing to do with fixing American justice.
The other sneaky one is Vivek Ramaswamy. The whole state of Ohio will beome one giant filthy, bedbug infested motel full of coders..
Patel and Bondi appear to be seriously undermining MAGA.
Patel seems to have joined Bondi in the land of oz.
Neither have instilled a drop of credibility in any federal area of concern.
But that’s just me.
Last straw. He has to go.
“This ain’t no circus and I don’t need a clown”
Why is Patel lying? What dirt or leverage does the DeepState have over him?
Is Patel really that naive or is he just dumb.
Well any remaining hopes that Patel isn’t a lying, bought-off hack have now been dashed. FKP.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! What bunk. So why weren’t they stopping the entering and the damage done to the capitol. I like Patel, but he has got to start talking like an adult!
Suspicious Cat and Curious I are puzzled — what RIOT at Lafayette Park?
Couple of Clowns! Where are the “adults” we were promised? What a disappointment.
Cash Patel is suffering from a version of “Stockholm Syndrome”. Continuing to defend the FBI’s past actions, particularly on January 6, 2021, is insanity.
Not buying that Kash! I’ve seen too much, did too much research…looked at too many J6 videos and listened to YOU and DAN BONGINO on your podcasts saying everything that we the people out here know……and now you are trying to tell us differently, now that you’re there.
Obviously…..the system or power or entity that controls, comprimises and leverages those who come to DC thinking they can make a change….when in fact they just get sucked into a corrupt system that controls and leverages everyone that enters…..save DONALD J TRUMP!
It’s not just a swamp………its full of quick sand…..and one starts to sink the second they enter…..and if you don’t comply….well then your new friends in DC just became your worst enemies!
FBI are the liars and protectors of the criminal elite, they have done nothing for the American people. I called the corrupt bastards once to report organ theft and murder by a hospital, their response was “FBI doesn’t investigate murder or organ harvesting“. They then sent goons to our house to threaten us from reporting it.
Man…..You must have thought……What am I dealing with, who the hell can be trusted. And wanted to ask …..WTH does the FBI do.
Wow, that is a laughable statement Mr. Director. Fbi guys in the crowd were sent in to entrap the peaceful protesters and to allow the antifers to do as they want to ensure a riot was actually underway.
Bullsh;t.
Very clever with the Men in Black throw back.
I’m very disappointed in Director Patel. He seems to be “captured” by something or someone requiring his obedience to something other than POTUS.
bull.
“FBI Director Kash Patel Says Agents in J6 Crowd Were Dispatched to Quell Riot Underway”
Horseshit; there was no riot until the feds INSTIGATED it. Who is pulling the strings controlling Kash Patel?
Kash, just stop…
I really liked Kash and thought he was honorable. But no more. He has to go and joint Blondi in the Fox News ranks. I’ve grumbled through his statements about the rank file being honorable. No they are not. I am starting to agree with the camp that says they must all go. Let’s make Kash the last FFBI director. Please, Mr. President, let him go.
Toro Poo-poo. Why weren’t the 274 FBI wearing jackets emblazoned with FBI? Want to quell an insurrection? Don’t go in plainclothes. Patel must be fired.
What? Crowd control? There were 274 agents available in DC on Jan6th?
