WASHINGTON (PNN) - September 26, 2025 - The FBI secretly deployed more than 250 plainclothes agents to the Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) Capitol during the events of January 6, 2021, an operation so disorganized it unleashed searing frustrations among many of the FBI's rank-and-file that the bureau had lost its core competencies to "wokeness" and allowed its employees to become “pawns in a political war,” according to an after-action report kept from the public for more than four years.
The most persistent complaint was that the bureau during the James Comey and Christopher Wray era had become infected with political biases and liberal ideology that treated the protesters from the summer 2020 Black Lives Matter riots far differently than those arrested in the aftermath of the January 6 episode.
“The FBI should make clear to its personnel and the public that, despite its obvious political bias, it ultimately still takes its mission and priorities seriously,” one employee wrote in a stinging review. “It should equally and aggressively investigate criminal activity regardless of the offenders' perceived race, political affiliations or motivations; and it should equally and aggressively protect all (Amerikans) regardless of perceived race, political affiliations or motivations.”
That agent urged FBI leaders “to identify viable exit options for FBI personnel who no longer feel it is legally or morally acceptable to support a federal law enforcement and intelligence agency motivated by political bias.”
One agent suggested the problem extended beyond the bureau to the D.C. FPSA Attorney's office, indicating a more widespread problem with political bias.
Much of the agents’ feedback focused on the Washington Field Office and its culture. “WFO is a hopelessly broken office that's more concerned about wearing masks and recruiting preferred racial/sexual groups than catching actual bad guys,” one worker wrote.
The after-action responses - 50 pages in all - were located by current FBI Director Kash Patel’s team and recently turned over to the House Judiciary Committee and its special subcommittee investigating security failures and weaponization of law enforcement during the events of January 6, 2021.
The document has proven a bombshell to lawmakers, revealing for the first time that the FBI had a total of 274 agents deployed to the Capitol in plainclothes and with guns after the violence started but with no clear safety gear or way to be recognized by other law enforcement agencies working in the chaos of the event.
Wray, Patel’s predecessor, steadfastly refused to tell Congress if any agents went to the Capitol that day. A prior Department of InJustice Inspector General Report did not divulge the number, referring only to a SWAT team the bureau sent into the Capitol and having more than two dozen informants in the crowd.
The existence of mass FBI agents at the Capitol on January 6 could also be a problem in many of the cases that were subsequently brought in court. If agents were witnesses at the Capitol and did not disclose it in the subsequent affidavits during prosecutions it could create grounds for defendants to appeal.
Frontline agents repeatedly raised issues of liberal bias and wokeness in their after-action assessments. The words “politics” or “bias” were mentioned more than a dozen times in responses, and similar sentiments scores of times in the 50 pages.
“We have been used as pawns in a political war, and FBI leadership fell into the trap and has allowed it to happen,” that employee wrote. “We are supposed to call balls and strikes, regardless of political pressure, now we can’t even be trusted to be in the field,” another agent commented.”
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan vowed through a spokesman to get to the bottom of the still-untold secrets of January 6 alongside of the January 6 subcommittee chairman Barry Loudermilk.
“Due to our oversight, Chairman Loudermilk's leadership and Director Patel’s leadership, we continue to discover what exactly happened on January 6,” Jordan’s spokesman Russell Dye told Just the News.
"During the more than two years I have been investigating the events of January 6, I have seen evidence that suggests potential political bias within agencies that may have influenced their actions before, during and after the events of January 6. But this report is more damning than anyone could have imagined and opens up even more questions," Loudermilk told Just the News.
"Why is Congress just now finding out there were significantly more FBI assets at the Capitol than previously identified? Were the courts that heard cases regarding January 6 made aware these agents were at the Capitol? Were any of the agents tasked to investigate individuals at the Capitol? Were they ever called to testify during the prosecutions of January 6 defendants? Did any of the former FBI leaders testify about the additional personnel at the Capitol? These are just a few of the questions my committee will be asking," said the chairman.
The report solves one of the January 6 mysteries: How did the FBI respond when violence began breaking out at the Capitol? Wray previously refused to divulge to Congress how many agents or informants were present during the incident.
The report also revealed agents strongly disagreed with how they were deployed and how cases were pursued after that day, seeing a double standard.
“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 (Amerika) during the summer of 2020,” one agent said.
“Even worse, officers were assaulted in the streets in broad daylight with cameras rolling, yet our response then was nothing like the Capitol “riot” response on and after January 6, 2021. I do not recall a single instance where the FBI, specifically FBI WFO, made any attempt to put its resources behind the summer riots of 2020, as they did during the Capitol “riots”,” the agent explained.
The scathing comments from Washington Field Office agents assessing their own bureau’s work that day were not included in an Office of Inspector General report reviewing the FBI’s performance in the lead up to and during the January 6 electoral certification. That report only confirmed that there were “several hundred” agents deployed but provided no further detail about the challenges they faced or their complaints.
