Our review determined that none of these FBI CHSs was authorized by the FBI to enter the Capitol or a restricted area or to otherwise break the law on January 6, nor was any CHS directed by the FBI to encourage others to commit illegal acts on January 6.Americans are “entitled to answers” when it came to the federal response on January 6, 2021, per Breitbart News.Gavin Newsom Spends Entire Day Defending 'Fascism' RemarkReport: Taxpayers Could End Up Footing Bill for Obama Presidential LIbraryKimmel and Colbert to Appear on Each Other’s Shows on the Same NightIDF Advances Steadily into Gaza City, Hitting Hamas PositionsStarmer Least Popular British Prime Minister on Record, Poll Finds
