Did you ever hear of the concept of "Plausible Deniability"? It is one of the ground rules of politics as I will explain in this blog.
I think that most of us have thought from the beginning that the January 9th riot after Trump's speech in Washington DC was an event staged by the FBI and now we know. They just announced that there were a bunch of FBI "informers" who attended Trump's speech and who were outside and inside the US Capital building. Notice that they could still claim that there were "no FBI" agent there. Did they lie or were they telling the truth?
I ask you, how is a paid informer and different from a paid FBI agent? There is really no difference, but they can claim, using Plausible Deniability that there were no "real" FBI agents there. Notice how the liberal media eats this up? We all know that there is no difference. Even the Democratic party used this concept when they publish the Russa-Russa stuff about Trump in the 2016 election. Because the documents were done by a non-government person, they could claim that the government, "run by Democrats" had nothing to do with it.
Just put yourself in the place of the "informant". What they want to do is to get paid as much as possible and that means coming up with "good stuff" or "creating good stuff", and that is exactly what they do. It is the free enterprise system in operation. How much more of this type of thing do you think is going on? It is going on all the time right under our noses and we all know it!
