It took years, but now we know the number of secret informants the FBI had in Washington during the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021. What we don’t know is what they did.
In a long-awaited report, Michael Horowitz, the inspector general of the Justice Department, revealed that 26 confidential human sources, or CHSs, “were in Washington, D.C., on January 6 in connection with the events of January 6.” Of that number, 17 went into the Capitol or into the restricted area around the Capitol.
