MM#437--Inside the Crumbling January 6 Narrative & The Comey Indictment
FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message
The story we were handed about January 6 sounded complete—until the paperwork started talking. We unpack a newly surfaced FBI after-action report, why it arrived on Capitol Hill years late, and what rank-and-file agents say about a lopsided response compared with the 2020 summer riots. Along the way, we examine the operational oddities—274 plain-clothes agents deployed with firearms for “crowd control” after violence began—and ask the basic questions any competent oversight body should: who gave the orders, what doctrine guided them, and where is the full timeline that ties intelligence, deployments, and decisions together.
We walk through how the “insurrection” label took hold in real time, amplified by politicians and corporate leaders before investigations matured. Early reporting from Julie Kelly challenged that immediate framing, emphasizing evidence gaps and procedural inconsistencies. Whether you agree with her or not, the sequence matters: labels shape prosecutions, media coverage, and public memory. If the official narrative is sound, it will withstand scrutiny. If it isn’t, the record must be corrected with the same volume used to set it.
We also press into the unresolved pieces: disputed details around alleged pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC, the mechanics of Guard requests and refusals, and why parts of the FBI’s internal critique never appeared in Inspector General summaries. Transparency is the path forward—release synchronized timelines, redacted EOD reports, deployment orders, and communications logs. Accountability is not about scoring points; it’s about improving doctrine so future mass gatherings are policed with clarity, restraint, and public trust.
Key Points from the Episode:
• internal FBI after-action report surfacing years later
• agents’ claims of unequal responses in 2020 and Jan 6
• 274 plain-clothes FBI agents and crowd control questions
• the rapid spread of the “insurrection” framing
• Julie Kelly’s early reporting and evidentiary gaps
• outstanding questions on Guard requests and leadership decisions
• pipe bomb timeline, forensics, and public perception
• accountability, transparency, and reforms for future incidents

Welcome to the Theory to Action Podcast, where we examine the timeless treasures of wisdom from the great books in less time to help you take action immediately and ultimately to create and lead a flourishing life. Now, here's your host, David Kaiser.
SPEAKER_01:Hello, I am David, and welcome back to another Mojo Minute. As always, let's begin. As we always do, with a quote, not from a book this time, but from one of my favorite websites. Go into the article. The actions on January 6, 2021 were absolutely despicable and unacceptable in a civilized society. What is even more unacceptable was the hypocrisy displayed by the FBI and its leadership in their attempt to go after those involved in the Capitol riots, while we as agents watched cities burn across America during the summer of 2020, one agent said. The conspiracy to commit crimes at the Capitol on January 6th were also committed by bad actors during those summer riots of 2020 leading up to the election of November 3, 2020. Agents stood by on the ground in Washington, D.C. and observed stores being looted, burned, and ripped of anything of value. Another agent wrote. And finally, even worse, officers were assaulted in the streets in broad daylight with cameras rolling, and yet our response then was nothing like the Capitol riots response on and after January 6, 2021. I don't recall a single instance where the FBI, specifically the FBI WFO, that would be the white, uh the Washington Field Office, made any attempt to put the resources behind the summer riots of 2020, as they did during the Capitol riots, the agent said. The scathing comments from the Washington Field Office agents assessing their own bureau's work that day were not included in the Office of Inspector General's report, which was reviewing the FBI's performance in the lead up to and during the January 6th electoral certification. That report only confirmed that there were, quote, several hundred agents deployed, but provided no further detail about the challenges they faced or their complaints. And that is from an article at John Solomon's incredible website, justthenews.com. And if you don't follow just the news or John Solomon's work, I highly encourage you to do so. This guy is one of the very best intrepid reporters, just running down facts after facts and evidence after evidence. And what all this is leading to is the official narrative about and around January 6, 2021, is crumbling, crumbling big time. As we've anticipated for a number of years, but the facts are finally coming out. And that story I just read some pieces for you about was released as an after action report internally from the FBI. And just now, just now, this past week was released to Congress. I mean, we're well past four years since this happened. And we're finally, finally, finally just hearing about the after action report, which is some 50 pages long. Fifty pages. That is 50 pages long from our rank and file FBI agents. And this report, this after action report, was just turned over by current FBI Director Cash Patel. Turned it over to the House Judiciary Committee and the Special Sub Subcommittee investigating all this January 6th stuff. And lawmakers are coming apart about this information. This document proves that a total of 274 FBI agents were deployed to the Capitol premises in plain clothes and with their guns. And it was after the violence started. Not for some menacing threat, not for some incredible amount of intelligence, but because they were a federal department. And why? But for they could keep help with crowd control. Holy smokes, the FBI doing crowd control in plain clothes. We're gonna send those agents. What happened that day? And folks, that official narrative is far, far, far off the mark. Now, many of us have known that we've been lied to, and this whole thing was a charade since January 6th, but I do want to go back because I'm gonna take a little pleasure in this. I do want to go back and remember how all this was framed to us, not only in the immediate aftermath, but actually during the riot itself, as if they had the script and we weren't part of it. So we're gonna pull a long quote from one of the other reporters that has been on this story from the beginning and helped all of us to understand it that this whole story was rubbish. This official narrative was rubbish. And she snuffed out all these lies early on and she wrote a book about it. And that would be Julie Kelly. She wrote a book called January 6th, How Democrats Use the Capital Protest to Launch a War on Terror Against the Political Right. Fascinating book. Fascinating not only because what she reveals in it, but also because it was published early in 2022, roughly just a year past the date of the actual event. And here we are, late, you know, the fall of October of uh 2025. I mean, holy smokes. Julie was on this all throughout 2021, put it together in a book to be published by 2022, early 2022. And Julie did the yeomen work as a reporter hunting down the facts and the evidence that this story was just not adding up. It did not pass the smell test. So let's take some pleasure to read what Julie wrote about this event early in 2021. And remember, this official narrative came out right during the actual event and right after. They had all their script lined up, and all the usual actors were reading straight from the playbook. Let's go to the book. Julie Kelly's January 6th, How Democrats Use the Capitol Protest to Launch a War on Terror Against the Political Right. Going to the book. The designation of the Capitol breach as a quote insurrection took hold even as the chaos unfolded on January 6th. Congressmen still inside the building plastered the term across all of social media, immediately establishing the narrative that would frame the events for the public. Quote, this violent insurrection, an attempted coup by Trump supporters at his encouragement. Representative Ted Deutsch tweeted at 3 40 p.m. on January 6th, quote, they're attacking the building that represents our democracy and threatening those who work in it. History will remember this as a dark day, as a seditious attack by Americans against America, said and wrote Representative Debbie Washerman Schultz, the former head of the DNC, tagging Trump's now deplatformed Twitter handle. Schultz went on and said, This is how we make America great. Question mark. Violence storming the Capitol, attempting to block your duly elected successor by encouraging armed insurrection. Question mark. The blood is spilled today is on your hands. Her tweet was posted at 409. Representative Bobby Rush, Democrat of Illinois, a founding member of the violent Illinois Black Panther Party some years ago, who served jail time decades ago for weapons possession, somehow prepared and released a statement from what he describes as a quote, secure bunker in his house office building. By the way, I've worked in those house office buildings. There's no secure bunkers. If you're in your house office building, it's just an office. I mean, they have very large wooden doors with a pretty big uh bolt lock, but I'm not sure it's a secure bunker, sir. Rush pronounced, this is Bobby Rush, Democrat of Illinois, and your former violent Illinois Black Panther Party member. Rush pronounced, today's actions are nothing short of a murderous insurrection and an armed cue incited by Donald Trump and executed by his diehard supporters. We'll keep reading. Quote, these terrorist attacks will not silence the voice of the people. Establishment Republicans also weighed in, quote, this violent assault on the Capitol, and a disruption of a constitutionally mandated meeting of the Congress was undertaken by the people, whose passions have been inflamed by falsehoods and false hopes. Insurrection could do grave damage to our nation and reputation. So wrote George and Laura Bush in a joint statement released that afternoon under the headline, quote, statement from President George W. Bush on the insurrection at the Capitol. If one Bush is not good enough, how about another one? Bush's brother, Jeb, the Florida governor whom Trump vanquished early in 2016, opined that Trump, quote, has gone from creating chaos to inciting an insurrection. Barack Obama didn't use the word insurrection, but condemned Trump in typically sonorous terms for whipping up a quote, violent crescendo that resulted in the desecrated chambers of democracy. In a statement released that evening, Bill Clinton mourned the quote, unprecedented assault on our capital, our constitution, and our country. Not to be left out, former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney wasted no time blasting the man who snubbed him for a cabinet position. Quote, what happened here today was an insurrection incited by the president of the United States, Romney said in a statement. He urged his colleagues to, quote, unanimously affirm the legitimacy of the presidential election. He later made the same remarks on the Senate floor. From his home in Delaware, Joe Biden gave an eight-minute televised speech shortly after 4 p.m. on January 6th. Quote, this is not dissent, it's disorder. It borders on sedition. It's not protest, it's insurrection. Little sidebar here, not written in Julie Kelly's book. How about Joe Biden's last four years as president? I think that borders on sedition. Let's keep digging into his last four years, especially the auto pen. Going back to the book. Business leaders piled on to quote today marks a sad and shameful chapter in our nation's history. Those responsible for this insurrection should be held to account. And we must complete the transition to the president-elect Biden administrations. So said Apple CEO Tim Cook. I'm sorry, he didn't say it. He tweeted it on January 6th. The president of the now or the National Association of Manufacturers slammed the president, referred to this day as sedition, and said Vice President Michael Pence should work with Trump's cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment. Funny how that 25th Amendment stuff comes back around. Reading further, throughout this whole disgusting episode, Trump has been cheered on by members of his own party, adding fuel to the distrust that it inflamed a violent anger. So said Jay Timmins, the group's leader, ranted in a statement released at 3 37 PM on January 6th. The head of JP Morgan Chase, Jamie Diamond, had been photographed taking a knee in a Chase bank branch office in New York in June of 2020, and he told BLM, Black Lives Matter activists, that, quote, we are watching and listening and want every single one of you to know we are committed to fighting against racism and discrimination wherever and however it exists, unquote. Another sidebar. Did you see that the former leader of BLM was just convicted of embezzlement of some eight to ten million dollars? Way to go, Mr. Diamond. Going back to the book. Seven months later, Diamond denounced the Capitol protesters and insisted elected officials have a responsibility to call for an end to violence. The violence had long since ended. Not to be outdone, Google CEO at the time, Sundar Pashier. I forget this guy's name. Sundar Piasha also objected to the quote lawlessness and violence at the Capitol seven months after advising Google employees to quote show solidarity with BLM protesters, destroying businesses and assaulting police. When the joint session of Congress reconvened that night, numerous lawmakers reinforced this description. Representative Greg Stanton, the former mayor of Phoenix, Arizona, who had just been re-elected to a second term in Congress, twice referred to the quote, armed insurrection during a speech on the House floor at 9.30 p.m. Quote, never did I expect to see our Capitol overrun by armed insurrectionists intent on disrupting our government at the urging of the president. Representative Gay Scanlon, Democrat of Pennsylvania, said what happened here today made me heartsick for our country. Senator Ed Markey, Democrat of Massachusetts, berated his Republican colleagues who had planned to request an audit of some of the election results. Again, this is the 2020 election results. Allegation of voter fraud is, quote, dangerous, anti-democratic and treasonous fiction, Ed Markey said from the Senate floor. And there is a word for this. It's called sedition. All of these unfounded objections to state electors are seditious, he went on to say. This is nothing short of an insurrection against the established order of the U.S. Constitution and our Democratic Republic. So I gave you that long quote because I'm sure we won't hear from those names anymore. Especially after the insurrection talk. And I wanted to name the names. Because we won't hear from them now that the truth is finally, finally coming out. Was it an insurrection? Heavens, no. Was it sedition? No way. The president incited an insurrection? That's all rubbish. And now we know the official narrative is crumbling, and it's crumbling in a big, big way. And the evidence now is that Nancy Pelosi should be asked serious questions under oath. Why did she refuse the National Guard to be deployed that day? Why was the FBI agents, some 274 of them, deployed in plain close for crowd control? Who made that call? And now there's new evidence that the pipe bombs put down close to the RNC and DNC that day is totally without merit. We know there was bombs. Some say they were there was an egg timer on them, some say there wasn't. Some say they were fake. Was it a training exercise? All of this has just led to more and more questions. The whole storyline is completely blown up. And just in this past week, we have one of the principals. The principals, Mr. James Comey, who's been indicted. And all of this is part of a broader, a much broader scrutiny of the FBI and the other federal departments for their lying. They're repeated lying to Congress. And now all of this is being uncovered. So I would encourage you, everyone, to follow John Solomon's Justhenews.com, just the news.com, because the mainstream media and the legacy media are dead. They're just as corrupt as the same goons and ghouls who have been lying to us for the past 10 years. From Russia collusion to the Hunter Biden laptop to now this, federal officials who lie in front of Congress have to pay a price. They have to be held accountable. Now, certainly Americans were shocked and outraged by what they saw and what happened on January 6, 2021. But also, Americans want to know the truth. And the first part of beginning to know the truth and those facts and the evidence of those facts is getting two convictions of the people that lied. I would remind you, some 50 years ago, then Attorney General John Mitchell was convicted and went to prison as part of the Watergate conspiracy. And if convicted, James Comey could face prison time and should. He denies any wrongdoing. And you're innocent proven until proven guilty in this great country. And he seems unwilling to plea bargain. But if he does go to jail, he would be one of the highest former ranking highest ranking former government officials to serve jail time. And we believe he is guilty. So we want to see that trial go to trial. We don't want to see any plea bargain. So in today's mojo minute, let us return to the first FBI agent we heard from and his quote from that brutal 50-page after action report from the rank and file of the FBI. Quote The actions on January 6, 2021 were absolutely despicable and unacceptable in a civilized society. He went on. What is even more unacceptable was the hypocrisy displayed by the FBI and its leadership and their attempt to go after those involved in the Capitol riots, while we as agents watch cities burn across America during the summer of 2020. Amen. Seems the rank and file of the FBI knew how corrupt the FBI leadership was in Washington, D.C. and at its field office. And they spoke that loudly, very loudly in this after action report, which was suppressed by then FBI Director Christopher Ray. Why? We don't know. But that is a vital question, and we need the answer to that one. We will be watching and reading just the news website for the progress of this trial with Mr. Comey. And we will be waiting for the next round of indictments. And we hope and pray that finally, finally, through this trial, we will begin to unravel all the lies and begin to get to the truth. Because that's what America's Americans want is the truth. Because as often in these cases, once one of the principals starts talking and revealing the truth, then the House of Cards begins to crumble and the truth will come out. Let's let the truth fully come out. Let's get to the bottom of this whole shade of the last ten years of lies and deceit in Washington, D.C. and the radicals and their leaders. Now, speaking of lies and deceit, in our next episode, we're going to go back to the lies and deceit around that same Washington, D.C. But it'll be around the Watergate story that we spoke of with John Mitchell. And now we're just finding out that the full story was not on the up and up. You will talk about how corrupt Washington, D.C. in the 1970s was. So join us next time as we share with you two vital books that you should read and you will want to check out that will absolutely blow your mind on the official narrative of Watergate. Until next time, as always, let's keep fighting the good fight.
