tly find out if that's true. So I'm going to hire an inspector general. The inspector general goes and talks to that agent and says I'm trying to find out what's true. And the FBI agent says this is true. The same stuff I was trying to show everybody else. And the IG says let me look at that. All right I'll put that in the report. Where do you think the IG gets their information? By asking the FBI…
← Previous segment →search it like oh there it is it's right in this email. You just said you have 18 there and you told them to cause trouble. No. If they were involved in something that bad, overthrowing the United States government, they're not going to write that in an email. It's not going to be in a text. So how in the world would the IG know anything? The IG would know exactly what the FBI told them. And if they were involved in any bad behavior I'm pretty sure the smart play would be don't tell the inspector general.
Now here are the things that are not ruled out. Number one that the FBI told the confidential human sources you better cause some trouble there or else you won't be our source anymore and you'll go to jail. I don't remember that part. And if they did tell the confidential human sources that, would the confidential human sources sell out their protector? Probably not. So now I have no credibility in the IG report. No credibility in the FBI. And we wouldn't know if there was any freelancers. So let's say you really nailed them down. You say all right FBI you've admitted to the confidential human sources but how many agents did you have? Zero. There were no agents. All right here's my next question. Did you work with any external people who used to be in this line of work but now are freelancers so that it didn't look like the FBI was behind it? Well I can't speak for everybody in the FBI but I didn't. Like how would you even know if somebody associated with the FBI or the CIA or some intelligence group did some freelancing for the benefit of some Democrats? How would you know? There's no way to know now. And the inspector general report is just worthless I think.
However here's my larger point. I don't think it's important because everything that we know about January 6 just depends on whether the security was there. So if it's true that there were some people associated with the FBI in one way or another who are trying to make things worse I don't think it matters. It doesn't make much difference to the larger narrative. The larger narrative is that it was allowed to happen. Meaning that Trump asked for more security. They were fully aware that there was a problem coming and they chose, various people, Democrat leaning, chose not to respond in a way that you and I think would be sufficient. Now that's the whole story. If there were also people in the FBI trying to intentionally cause trouble I don't know that it matters. Because whether somebody was intentionally doing it or it happened organically none of it would have happened if there had bee

n reasonable security and/or a reasonable election or an election that looked reasonable. The only thing we know is it looked rigged. We don't know that it was. So I don't know. I wouldn't obsess about that. I would concentrate on the security part. And I want to ask you a question. Have I ever gone too far in talking about the FBI involvement in the January 6 crowds? Because my memory of it is t…
