Was the January 6 insurrection an FBI setup?

[AgnosticBoy]

Most of this view comes from social media, presumably from the Trump supporters. Basically, here's a sample of their views:

“JANUARY 6th WAS A SETUP!” reads one X post that had received more than 11,400 likes and shares as of Friday. “New inspector general report shows that 26 FBI/DOJ confidential sources were in the crowd on January 6th, and some of them went into the Capitol and restricted areas. Is it a coincidence that Wray put in his resignation notice yesterday? TREASON!”

I questioned why the AP did not post a link to the original post. I went on Twitter and searched "January 6 was a setup" and found treasure trove of comments and conspiracies about Nancy Pelosi, the FBI, and others having a hand in January 6. I'm sure there is some of Trump's opposition that wants to set him up to fail, and probably worse, but I think his supporters are too quick to see everything as being a conspiracy against him as opposed to Trump's problems being a product of his own mistakes.

Either way, here's one fact check for the claim that January 6 insurrection was a setup to damage Trump:

The watchdog report examined a number of areas, including whether major intelligence failures preceded the riot and whether the FBI in some way provoked the violence. Claims spreading online focus on the report’s finding that 26 FBI informants were in Washington for election-related protests on Jan. 6, including three who had been tasked with traveling to the city to report on others who were potentially planning to attend the events.

THE FACTS: That’s false.

According to the report, 26 informants were in Washington on Jan. 6 in connection with the day’s events. FBI field offices only informed the Washington Field Office or FBI headquarters of five informants that were to be in the field on Jan. 6. Of the total 26 informants, four entered the Capitol during the riot and an additional 13 entered a restricted area around the Capitol.
But none were authorized to do so by the FBI, nor were they given permission to break other laws or encourage others to do the same. The remaining nine informants did not engage in any illegal activities.

What I see as being partisan here is that this completely ignores Trump's role and instead seemingly try to put the blame entirely on Nancy Pelosi and the FBI.

Here's my non-partisan take...
I think it's entirely possible for the FBI to do some crooked things. Hek, there are plenty examples of police officers and other law enforcement agents breaking the law. The fact that informants entered into areas that they weren't allowed into is troubling, but that alone doesn't mean that they provoked a riot. The only way I would accept such a claim is if evidence of these informants was shown, like showing who they were and their actions. Until that is done, I see the conclusions from some Republicans on this issue as being partisan and misleading.

Any feedback is welcomed!
