Topic: Confidential Informant

A clip of Joe Kent's testimony is played, where he alleges that the FBI and intelligence community were involved in planning and directing the January 6th riot through confidential human informants. Kent points to the Washington field office and Stephen D'Antuano, who previously oversaw the controversial Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping investigation in Michigan. Serafin notes that the FBI often uses "online undercover employees" to radicalize individuals before staging a takedown.

Jay, a retired narcotics detective from New Mexico, suggests that Ryan Wesley Routh's extensive criminal record and subsequent releases indicate he is likely a federal confidential informant. He explains the process of "flipping" suspects and argues that Routh's ability to travel and possess weapons points to government protection.

The segment features footage of Senator Ted Cruz questioning FBI Executive Assistant Director Jill Sanborn. Cruz asks about the number of FBI agents or informants present on January 6 and specifically inquires about Ray Epps, who was filmed inciting the crowd but was later removed from the FBI's most-wanted list. Sanborn repeatedly declines to comment on specific sources, methods, or individuals, citing ongoing investigations.

Defense attorneys in the Governor Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping case argue that violent rhetoric used by the accused was satire and only escalated due to FBI confidential informants. Claims suggest the FBI orchestrated the plot to frame individuals and prepare for total war against the citizenry. Comparisons are made between the rhetoric used against Whitmer and similar jokes made about Donald Trump on late-night television.
