Investigative journalist and former Fox Nation contributor Lara Logan joined Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on his Real America’s Voice show earlier this week to discuss a new investigative series she is set to launch early next year, as well as what is going on with Americans who remain jailed after being arrested in the weeks and months following the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol Building.

Kirk began the segment by asking: “How many federal agents do you think were present on January 6? What does your reporting suggest would be a fair estimate?”

“I think that’s unknowable,” she began. “Right now that is unknowable for us because that information is being withheld. The FBI was forced to acknowledge during the Proud Boys trial that they sent 30 or 40 agents undercover on the ground.

“We know from the FBI whistleblowers that there were a lot of FBI on the ground supporting Donald Trump, and they’ve been encouraged to lie about why they were there. We know from the FBI inspector general’s report that they lost control of how many agents were on the ground because there were so many,” Logan continued.

“What we also know is it wasn’t just the FBI who had undercover agents. There were people there from the Department of Homeland Security, there were people there from the joint terrorism task force, there were agents there from the [DC] Metropolitan Police Department special narcotics unit,” she said. “What we don’t know is what these undercover agents were doing. They want to have it both ways, right?

“They want to say that there was no reason for us to secure the Capitol with National Guard troops, but there was enough intelligence suggesting that there was this great existential threat to the United States posed by Trump supporters, so much so that we had to have untold numbers of undercover agents on the ground,” Logan continued. “And that’s before we even start talking about their confidential human sources or informants.

“There are indications that the number of informants dwarfed the number of undercover agents. We do know from videos that we have a Metropolitan Police officer telling a Capitol Police officer we go undercover as Antifa in the crowd. So, there is more than enough evidence that they had people on the ground,” she said.

“And we know from looking at some of the cases, the roles that some of these undercover and informants played in guiding law enforcement to people who were on the ground,” she added.

She then addressed the legal cases that have been filed against Jan. 6 demonstrators and how the federal system appears to be stacked against them.

“But what we really have not addressed is a critical point, judges have refused to allow a defense of entrapment or a lesser charge because there is a lesser form of entrapment, so even though we know there were Metropolitan Police officers encouraging people to climb the scaffolding, encouraging people to go forward encouraging people to go into the Capitol,” she told Kirk

“The judges have never, ever allowed any defense attorneys to even broach the issue of entrapment or the lesser charge in the courts, which is really quite extraordinary when you look at the events of January 6. That is definitely one of the things we’re talking about in this series,” she said.
