On Thursday night, the FBI finally acknowledged it had 274 plainclothes agents in the massive crowds on Jan. 6, 2021. This was hundreds more than was previously reported.

As the Gateway Pundit as previously reported — Dozens if not hundreds of government operatives infiltrated the protests at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

The Gateway Pundit previously identified 20 different confirmed incidents and operations involving federal, state, and local government operatives who infiltrated the massive Trump crowds on January 6, 2021.

But we had no idea there were 274 FBI agents operating in the crowd that day.

On Thursday after this news broke on the hundreds of FBI operatives in the crowd that day, TGP pointed out that Chris Wray lied about this while under oath in front of Congress.

BREAKING: CHRIS WRAY LIED UNDER OATH! FBI Had 274 Plainclothes Agents in the Crowd on January 6th – IT WAS A TOTAL FEDSURRECTION

On Saturday President Trump lashed out at Dirty former FBI Director Chris Wray and his lies to Congress about January 6.

President Trump: It was just revealed that the FBI had secretly placed, against all Rules, Regulations, Protocols, and Standards, 274 FBI Agents into the Crowd just prior to, and during, the January 6th Hoax. This is different from what Director Christopher Wray stated, over and over again! That’s right, as it now turns out, FBI Agents were at, and in, the January 6th Protest, probably acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists, but certainly not as “Law Enforcement Officials.” I want to know who each and every one of these so-called “Agents” are, and what they were up to on that now “Historic” Day. Many Great American Patriots were made to pay a very big price only for the love of their Country. I owe this investigation of “Dirty Cops and Crooked Politicians” to them! Christopher Wray, the then Director of the FBI, has some major explaining to do. That’s two in a row, Comey and Wray, who got caught LYING, with our Great Country at stake. WE CAN NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN TO AMERICA AGAIN!

And later today FBI Director Kash Patel also tweeted out that Chris Wray lied to Congress.

Wray said there were no FBI operatives there. Wray lied.

274 FBI agents were thrown into crowd control on Jan 6 against FBI standards.

That failure was on corrupt leadership.

Thanks to agents stepping up, the truth is coming out.

Kash says the FBI agents were on hand after the rioting started. That explanation strains credulity.

After all, it was a peaceful protest on January 6 until the police started firing rubber bullets and tossing sound grenades on the unsuspecting crowd.

Regardless, this new information this week ought to be enough to press charges against serial liar Chris Wray.

Patel went on to say Wray lied to Congress and the American people about what really happened.

It appears that Chris Wray was attempting to top Jim Comey as the worst and most dishonest FBI Chief in history.

Maybe Wray will be the next deep state hack to be indicted for their criminal actions during President Trump's first term.

It won't come as a surprise for The Gateway Pundit readers.
