Attorney Sidney Powell said, FBI It may have played a “significant or leading role” in the uprising in the Capitol on January 6.
Powell promised last year to “release the Kraken” by using her legal ability to retain the former president. Donald Trump Although he lost in the presidential election, he still holds power. In a recent interview with conservative commentator Brannon Howse, she expressed support for the FBI’s involvement in congressional riots. The latter asked Powell if she agreed with “some members of Congress.” Congress“Who preached the conspiracy theory.
“I think they are [involved],” Powell said in a TV clip shared with Lindel Twitter Photographed by Patriot Takes on Friday. “Considering what you disclosed to former whistleblowers on the show, and their most recent mode of operation over the past ten years, if they were creating an entire crash.”
Powell is far from the only conservative who supports the factless theory, which appeared in an article published last month by the right-wing revolver news website.This conspiracy was quickly Fox News host Tucker Carlson, He claimed in his public opinion show Tucker Carlson tonight Said that “FBI agents organized an attack on the Capitol on January 6.”

The theory baselessly assumes that the unnamed accomplices mentioned in the indictments of some of the people accused in the Capitol riots were FBI agents. There is no clear reason to conclude that the persons named in the indictment are FBI agents or informants, simply because they have not been named and have not been sued.
Despite the lack of facts supporting the theory, in recent weeks, many Republican congressmen, possibly including those mentioned by House in an interview with Powell, have promoted the conspiracy.
House of Representatives Matt Gates (R-Fla.) shared a clip from Carlson’s show on Twitter, including an interview with Darren Beattie, a revolver news editor, a former Trump speech writer, 2018 Nian was fired for attending a meeting, expressing support for the theory and white nationalists.
House of Representatives Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Ga.) reposted Gaetz while speculating that the so-called “deep state” was “deeply stuck in it on January 6.”In the recent joint appearance with Gates on a former Trump adviser Steve Bannonof War room: pandemic In the podcast, Green said that the FBI’s involvement in the riot “maybe” explained “what happened.”
We need the names and answers of the FBI agents who participated in the organization and execution of the January 6th Capitol riots.
First, they have a “backup plan” to stop Trump from colluding with witch hunts in Russia, and now we find that they were deeply involved on January 6.

Like Green and Gates, Powell also supports conspiracy theories, claiming that the 2020 election was “stolen” from Trump.Some Trump supporters vigorously promoted this lie. They held up relevant slogans and chanted “Hang up Mike Pence,” because they violently breached the Capitol on January 6.
