I’m still trying to figure out what Tucker is claiming here. The FBI under Bill Barr instigated an insurrection? Okay, why? Because they wanted Trump to stay president? Is that what he is claiming?

When Tucker had to fire his top writer, for being found out, he should have hired a replacement that didn’t also check all the boxes.

Wait, wait, wait. Unnamed, “unindicted co-conspirators” means “FBI” according to Tucker? Does he think Trump is in the FBI? Because he’s certainly shown up in plenty of documents that way. And really should be so named here, too:
Yeah, you know this is what’s going on when you see particular individuals proposing explanations for the riot that not only are ridiculous on their face, but blatantly contradict something they previously said. Over and over. With a smirk.
Only accidentally is what he’s claiming. (Though Barr was gone by then, as Trump pushed him out in favor of someone more willing to stage a coup.) Tucker’s counting on his audience not actually thinking through what he’s saying.

So Tucker, what I hear you saying is that FBI Director under Trump’s administration Christopher Wray, was either leading the insurrection against the lawfully elected representatives in Congress, or his subordinates were. Persons 2 and 3 were working for indirectly for Trump, who kicked off the insurrection with his famous speech where he told his supporters to march down Pennsylvania Ave, and ‘fight like hell’.
Is that what you’re saying Tucker? That Trump and his cronies started the Insurrection? Because for once, I think you’re right.

Oh right. It was Jeff Rosen. Wait could it be that Tucker is claiming that Bill Barr resigned right before the FBI had a plan to incite insurrection against the United States to overrule the results of a valid election? In other words, the plan for the FBI to incite an insurrection was coming from an even higher level of government? Is that what Tucker is saying?

I mean, we now have solid email evidence that Trump was directly trying to order the DOJ to do a coup for him, and Barr’s unwillingness to be a part of it is why he was fired.
Not that Tucker is “saying” anything. He’s just making mouth noises intended to distract you from thinking about what was actually happening with the riot. We’re not supposed to think about what his mouth noises actually mean. It’s like saying “antifa did it.” What we’re supposed to understand is that antifa or the FBI made up a significant portion of the rioters, organizing the event and working hard to enact a coup - which was almost successful - even though it was the opposite of what they actually wanted to accomplish, with the sole purpose of making Trump supporters look bad. That obviously is incredibly fucking stupid - but don’t think about it! Just get distracted from the real world.

Oh, Tucker can think things through, to some degree anyways. I mean, he’s obviously not a terribly bright lad, but he’s (barely, perhaps) smart enough to know when he’s peddling total bullshit. It’s just that he’s so morally bankrupt he doesn’t care, so long as it advances his interests (e.g. white supremacy).
And (some) of his audience are capable of it, too. They just don’t/won’t. Ever.

If they don’t or won’t, eventually they can’t. The brain is a muscle and needs exercising. If all it does is the same old shit and lets others do its actual thinking, it atrophies. I suspect many of their brains look like walnuts at this point. Dried, shrivelled, rancid walnuts.

Hmm, he might be a genuine white supremacist. I suspect, though, that he’s instead a cynical nihilist, one who will say anything to attack the left and assuage scared white people, because that advances his primary interest: his paycheck.

It is true that a distressing number of military and law enforcement personal were involved in the insurrection.
