Newly Declassified FBI Memos Reveal Bureau Ran SECRET ‘J6 Tabletop Exercise’ in Summer 2020 — Planned ‘Mass Prosecutions’ and ‘Embedded Informants’ MONTHS Before Capitol Event
The deep state’s fingerprints are all over the events of January 6, and a newly declassified memo has just blown the lid off the entire operation.
Documents obtained by Just the News and recently turned over to Congress by FBI Director Kash Patel at the request of Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), show the FBI’s Boston Field Office led an internal intelligence assessment warning that “domestic violent extremists (DVEs)” could escalate violence if the 2020 election results were contested.
This wasn’t just a routine drill. It was a blueprint for the very tactics used to hunt down and persecute Trump supporters: undercover informants and “heavy-handed” mass prosecutions for minor offenses, according to the news outlet.
The documents show that while the American public was focused on the 2020 campaign, the FBI’s Boston office was busy conducting a “tabletop exercise” imagining election-related violence.
According to the FBI’s own internal Executive Analytical Report dated August 21, 2020, the Bureau assessed that:
“…Domestic violent extremist (DVE) threats related to the 2020 elections likely will increase as the election approaches… ‘Election-related threats’ include but are not limited to those against candidates, campaign events, presidential conventions… and threats or plots related to electoral outcomes.”
While the bureau looked at “anarchists” on the left, their primary focus, and their eventual implementation, was laser-targeted at the American right.
Perhaps the most stunning revelation is the Bureau’s recommendation to build what it called a “robust source base” embedded within groups deemed capable of post-election violence.
The assessment explicitly recommended embedding Confidential Human Sources (CHS) within potentially violent groups to provide “early detection and disruption of planning for future events.”
This is exactly what played out. We now know, thanks to whistleblower reports and congressional oversight, that there were informants embedded in the crowd on January 6.
House Judiciary Republicans sent a letter in 2023 that includes transcribed testimony from former Assistant Director-in-Charge of the Washington Field Office (WFO), Steven D’Antuono.
D’Antuono testified that the FBI had numerous confidential human sources (CHS) in the Trump crowd on January 6. In fact, they had so many FBI operatives in the crowd that they had no idea how many were actually there that day!
The Boston Field Office’s exercise also envisioned a sweeping prosecutorial response, advising a “strong and effective law enforcement response to even minimal criminal activity” as a deterrent strategy.
That recommendation mirrors what unfolded after January 6: thousands of prosecutions, including cases involving misdemeanor trespass and other low-level offenses.
According to Chairman Loudermilk, the memos show that the Bureau predicted violence months in advance yet failed to sufficiently alert or coordinate with Capitol security authorities.
“This document is evidence that Wray’s FBI predicted, as early as September 2020, that an attack on the Capitol was possible,” he said.
“It also suggests that the FBI infiltrate online chat forums and build a network of Confidential Human Sources (CHS) prior to January 6. It further outlines how the FBI should pursue heavy-handed prosecutions for minor offenses, which Biden’s DOJ carried out quite effectively after the attack.”
“We now know, through CHS reports and other intelligence, that the FBI had enough information to not only predict an attack on the Capitol, but to prepare for one,” he added. “So why did the FBI not take steps to protect the U.S. Capitol?”
Journalist John Solomon discussed the explosive revelations with Steve Bannon.
