Whistleblower: FBI Deputy Director Abbate Told Agents to Hide Dozens of January 6 Informants from Public – Knew It Would Be “Too Embarrassing” for Agency to Tell the Truth to Americans

According to a 2023 whistleblower, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate told subordinates at the agency to hide the identities of dozens of January 6 government informants. He said it would be too embarrassing for the agency if the information was leaked out. So they hid this from the American public.

Kerry Picket reported on this at the time.

An FBI agent told the House Judiciary Committee that Deputy Director Paul Abbate suggested that at least 25 FBI confidential human sources, or informants, involved in reporting to the bureau from the Jan. 6, 2021, protest should not be publicly acknowledged.

In July 2023, investigative reporter Kerry Picket from The Washington Times.

An FBI agent told the House Judiciary Committee that Deputy Director Paul Abbate suggested that at least 25 FBI confidential human sources, or informants, involved in reporting to the bureau from the Jan. 6, 2021, protest should not be publicly acknowledged.

Many FBI whistleblowers have come forward with their concerns about the bureau as Director Christopher A. Wray is testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.

They are making allegations of politically motivated investigations, politically biased leadership and misconduct by senior officials at America’s premier law enforcement agency.

According to the whistleblower disclosure sent to the committee, Mr. Abbate notified one or more of his subordinates that the more than 25 informants were too problematic or embarrassing for the FBI to have their existence made known to the public and that the existence, activities and identities of these FBI confidential human sources should not be released.

As reported on Thursday, DOJ Inspector General David Horowitz released his much-anticipated January 6 report yesterday.

Here is the full report released by Biden’s DOJ on the Confidential Human Sources who were working the crowd on January 6, 2021, at the US Capitol in Washington DC.

It has been widely reported that the violence would not have taken place or reached the fever pitch that it did if Nancy Pelosi had brought in the National Guard as President Trump requested days before the planned protests and rallies.

In the IG report released Thursday, the DOJ admits to 26 “confidential human sources” (page 77) working that day inside the Trump protest at the US Capitol. The IG Report ignored how man “undercover employees” were also at the US Capitol that day.

According to the report – the DOJ admitted that 4 entered the US Capitol and 13 entered the “restricted area.” This is very likely inaccurate since much of the US Capitol, and its surroundings were later listed as “restricted ground” despite the permits obtained by several pro-Trump groups for smaller events that day near the US Capitol.

The Gateway Pundit has reported for years now on numerous confirmed intelligence operatives and “cutouts” who had infiltrated the Trump crowd on January 6, 2021.

When the DOJ admits to 26 undercover operatives working inside the crowd that day, they do not include the many dozens or hundreds of “cutouts” who were operating inside the enormous crowd that day. This number does not include the operatives from several government agencies who were inside the crowd on January 6.

It’s safe to say January 6 was the largest organized government operation targeting a specific political party in US history.

The Gateway Pundit has reported on numerous suspected government operatives in the pro-Trump crowd that day. You can review that information here.
