Trump posted today: "Just revealed, the FBI violated all rules, regulations, procedures, and standards, secretly embedded 274 FBI agents into the crowd before, during, and after the 'January 6th scam.' This is completely different from what Director Christopher Ray repeatedly stated! Yes, now it's proven that FBI agents were at the scene of the 'January 6th protest,' likely playing the role of inciters and insurrectionists, far from being 'law enforcement officers.' I want to know the identity of each of these so-called 'agents' and what they did on that day now known as 'historic.' Many great American patriots paid a heavy price just for loving their country. It is my responsibility to thoroughly investigate these 'dirty cops and dishonest politicians.' The former FBI director Christopher Ray must give a major explanation. Comey and Ray, two consecutive FBI directors, have been caught lying, endangering our great nation. We cannot allow such things to happen again in America!"
Note: "January 6th scam" is Trump's characterization of the January 6th Capitol riot event in 2021.
Comments: Qualifying the "January 6th event" as a "scam" and portraying the FBI as an "accomplice to the insurrection" is Trump's consistent "anti-establishment" rhetoric. By blurring the boundaries between "undercover law enforcement" and "illegal incitement," he portrays the federal agency FBI as a "tool against patriots," inciting supporters to oppose Democrats and seeking revenge. The FBI has repeatedly clarified that a small number of personnel were indeed present at the scene for investigation purposes, but not "massive undercover incitement."
The FBI, as an important law enforcement agency in the United States, has become a pawn in power struggles. The so-called "democratic procedures" have long been a mere formality in this power struggle. Trump uses the posture of "exposing the dark underbelly" to cover up his own responsibilities in the Capitol riot, transforming political differences into a life-or-death confrontation of dark dealings, causing American democracy to sink deeper and deeper into the dark vortex of power struggles, ultimately leaving behind a messy game of power shrouded in darkness.
