Greenwald: FBI Involvement In Capitol Riot Not A “Crazy Conspiracy Theory,” This Is What They Do | Video | RealClearPolitics
“The vast majority of times that you heard the FBI applauding themselves for having stopped a terror plot domestically was actually a plot that they themselves governed and directed with informants and with operatives exactly of the type we know for certain they put into the Pround Boys and the Three-Percenters, two of the three groups they claim are behind january 6th,” Greenwald said. “The only way to claim this kind of crazy conspiracy theory is if you are completely ignorant about what the FBI does or lying on purpose to cover up what the FBI does when it acts domestically.”
Greenwald said since liberals worshipped the FBI and the CIA under Trump news organizations automatically take their side in fear of losing viewers. Greenwald also pointed out that most major news organizations employ former intelligence officials and have reporters that repeat FBI talking points to the audience.
“During the Trump years, the CIA and the FBI became overwhelmingly popular among American liberals,” Greenwald said of the influence the agencies have. “They worshipped the FBI and the CIA because they viewed it as the bulwark against Trump. So if you are serving a liberal audience, the last thing you know your audience wants to hear, and their audience is disappearing, so they are petrified of them, is anything that is questioning of or critical of the FBI on top of which all of these news outlets are filled on their payroll with former operatives of the FBI and the CIA.”
