The Huffington Post reports:
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) acknowledged Tuesday that it probably wasn’t a federal agent disguised as a Donald Trump supporter in a picture he posted last week. The Utah Republican had said he wanted to ask FBI Director Christopher Wray about a claim on social media that new footage from inside the U.S. Capitol as it was under siege on Jan. 6, 2021, showed a man in a MAGA hat flashing a badge to police officers.
The images supposedly bolstered the conspiracy theory that the federal government orchestrated the riot ― until an NBC News reporter identified the man as Kevin Lyons, an Illinois resident who in July was sentenced to four years in prison for his actions that day. HuffPost caught up with Lee on Tuesday and said that since Lyons was in prison, he was probably not some kind of federal agent. “Yeah. Sounds right to me,” Lee said.
Read the full article. Lee still hasn’t deleted his bullshit claim. See the Community Note appended to his tweet two weeks ago.
I can’t wait to ask FBI Director Christopher Wray about this at our next oversight hearing.
I predict that, as always, his answers will be 97% information-free. https://t.co/m3rRE4Byfu

Remember: the people who helped hide the J6 tapes are cut out of the same cloth as those who will tell you that FISA 702 must be reauthorized without reforms—“because search warrants require too much effort.”
Here are two pictures of what some of those people look like: pic.twitter.com/kfQvJGbL5F

Liz, we’ve seen footage like that a million times.
You made sure we saw that—and nothing else.
It’s the other stuff—what you deliberately hid from us—that we find so upsetting.
Nice try.
P.S. How many of these guys are feds? (As if you’d ever tell us). https://t.co/FryO0VdLdP
