Read the email warning an FBI official that agents agreed with the Capitol attack on Jan. 6

Raw Story  

The FBI and Director Christopher Wray are all coming under fire after the latest public hearing of the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on Congress and attempt to overthrow the election. NBC News reported Friday that not only did the FBI fail to act ahead of Jan. 6, but a top FBI official was also warned after the fact that there were many agents who stood in solidarity with the Jan. 6 attackers. “There’s no good way to say it, so I’ll just be direct: from my first-hand and second-hand information from conversations since January 6th there is, at best, a sizable percentage of the employee population that felt sympathetic to the group that stormed the Capitol," said the email, saying that the agents said it was nothing more than the same thing as the Black Lives Matter protesters. Speaking to MSNBC about the comparison on Thursday, former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi said that if an agent can't tell the difference between Jan. 6 and Black Lives Matter then they need to hand in their badge. “One is a smattering of criminals, the other is an organized group of domestic terrorists.” The email also said that an FBI official in a "red state" claimed more than 70 percent of the offices' counterterrorism squad and about three-fourths of the agents disagreed with the violence on Jan. 6, “but could understand where the frustration was coming from.” These people are still working at the FBI today.
