President Donald Trump\u2019s interest in compensating Jan. 6 participants can easily be explained by examining the evidence.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the Trump administration announced the creation of a $1.7 billion compensation fund to be used to compensate those who were mistreated by the former Biden administration.<\/p>\n

President Trump has made it clear he wants Jan. 6 participants to benefit from this fund, but why? To discern the reason, one needs only to flash back to a year ago when the Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz released a bombshell report.<\/p>\n

As documented by Fox News host Jesse Watters below on Fox News\u2019 \u201cJesse Watters Primetime<\/a>,\u201d the report revealed that Jan. 6 participants had included over two dozen so-called confidential human sources (CHSs), aka FBI informants\/spies:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Justice Department just released the bombshell report that we\u2019ve been waiting for,\u201d Watters revealed in the clip above. \u201cWhat actually happened on Jan. 6? The FBI had 26 confidential human sources there that day. Twenty-six!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf the 26 confidential human sources who were in D.C. on Jan 6, four entered the Capitol during the riot. An additional 13 entered the restricted area around the Capitol. So more than a dozen FBI spies participated in the so-called insurrection,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

This bombshell report contradicted what Biden-era FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress in prior testimony. But it gets worse.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to the Inspector General report, the spies were feeding the FBI intel that said Jan. 6 was going to get a little hairy,\u201d Watters explained. \u201cBut FBI headquarters did nothing about it and then lied to Congress and said they did.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo why did headquarters let Jan. 6 get so out of hand? And what were all these FBI spies doing that day and the days before? Were they riling everyone up like they did in the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot?\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

In the notorious Whitmer kidnapping case, the FBI\u2019s so-called informants essentially manufactured the whole plot from start to finish, going so far as to even use \u201can FBI credit card to buy the ammo supplies.\u201d<\/p>\n

WOW! \"\ud83d\udce2\"<\/p>\n

The Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot was an FBI entrapment operation.<\/p>\n

The Eric Molitor video below details exactly what they did.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s finally coming to light several years later.<\/p>\n

What other things has the FBI been up to?<\/p>\n

Watters also noted how both Democrats and their media allies greatly benefited from the Jan. 6 riot and its aftermath.<\/p>\n

\u201cJan. 6 certainly benefited the media, the FBI, and the Democrats,\u201d he said. \u201c[It] humiliated Trump, got him impeached, criminalized the MAGA movement. Trump got indicted over Jan. 6. Remember, they tried to throw him in prison over this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Jan. 6 committee, it\u2019s all Democrats did for two years. Why didn\u2019t the committee find any of these [spies]? They did a one-sided investigation, teed up [then-Attorney General Merrick] Garland to charge Trump so they could run against a convicted felon,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

But an even bigger culprit than the media was the Democrat-controlled FBI that perpetrated the Whitmer hoax and now this.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe FBI knew what was in this report. They covered it up before the election. And then the director says he\u2019s resigning the day before it comes out,\u201d Watters said in frustration. \u201cGive me a break. This kind of sliminess is why Trump nominated Kash Patel [as FBI director].\u201d<\/p>\n

And finally, Watters got to the crux of the story \u2014 the Jan. 6 defendants that were prosecuted by the Biden administration but are now teed up by the Trump administration for a very glorious payday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat does this report do to the Jan. 6 defendants?\u201d he asked rhetorically. \u201cNone of the confidential informants were arrested or charged. These guys were right alongside everyone walking into the Capitol.\u00a0But you\u2019re in prison for years?\u201d<\/p>\n

Yep, and that\u2019s exactly why compensating Jan. 6 participants \u2014 particularly the non-violent ones who were nevertheless targeted for severe prosecution, including conservative reporters<\/a> \u2014 is so vital to the president and his top administration officials:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is reimbursing people that were horribly treated, horribly treated,\u201d the president said during a recent presser. \u201cIt\u2019s anti-weaponization. They\u2019ve been weaponized. They\u2019ve been, in some cases, imprisoned wrongly. They paid legal fees that they didn\u2019t have. They\u2019ve gone bankrupt. Their lives have been destroyed.
