Gohmert and others have info that the FBI put their operatives in the Capitol that day who were infiltrating the groups they were watching, kinda' like when the FBI infiltrates Muslim extremist groups and puts people undercover to assume the roles to get information.
However Gohmert never said anything like your lie above where you claim he said the Capitol riot was "perpetrated by the FBI".
He questioned Merrick Garland and asked if the FBI undercover there at the Capitol that day participated in breaking the windows in the area where they were located.
Garland said "I don't have that information".
If it was such an unbelievable intimation by Gohmert, why did Garland answer "I don't know the answer to that question"?
Please elaborate.
If the FBI Had none of their agents infiltrating the group, then why did he not just say to Gohmert "that's ridiculous, we didn't have ANY agents there infiltrating ANY Trump group of supporters at the Capitol"!?
Why did he not say that or become outraged at the insinuation of Gohmert that they had agents there?
"Whether they were actual agents, or an undercover agents, or informants that were working for the federal government. But this is scary stuff this is, This is kind of third world stuff, this is not only third world stuff but this is like Putin-like kind of activity. So, if there were federal agents that were involved on January 6, we really need to know what the FBI knew and when they knew it, and not only that, we need to know how much participation did any of our federal friends either at DOJ, FBI, or any of the Intel Community, what kind of role were they playing?"

" A report that had been elevated the night before by Gohmert’s “friend,” Fox News host Tucker Carlson: that perhaps a significant part of the violence that day was spurred by FBI agents embedded in the crowd."
“This is scary stuff,” Gohmert said of the sketchy claims made by Carlson. “This is third-world stuff. This is not only third-world stuff but this is like [Russian President Vladimir] Putin kind of activity.”
