Regular readers of Revolver will know that no elected official has done more than Congressman Thomas Massie to amplify and advance our groundbreaking coverage on the January 6 Fedsurrection. It was only because Thomas Massie was willing to pursue Revolver's pipe bomb coverage that we learned, among other things, that the former head of the FBI's pipe bomb investigation claimed the geofencing data that would have identified the bomber was "lost."  And of course it was entirely thanks to Massie's persistent and judicious efforts that the single most important and damning piece of J6-related footage was released. The footage in question depicted the discovery of the DNC pipe bomb and made it abundantly clear that Kamala Harris' secret service detail knew in advance the bomb was fake, overwhelmingly suggesting a cover-up and helping to clarify the otherwise bizarre fact that Kamala refuses to talk about her narrow brush with the pipe bomb.

Earlier this week, Massie had the occasion to speak with Michael Horowitz, the inspector general of the Department of Justice, who is sitting on a major report that, according to our sources, will reveal that the presence of government-paid informants is vastly greater than previously reported or imagined. Of course, there's a catch—according to the below exchange with Massie, despite this report being underway for years, it will not be released before the election.

The pretense for delay is "classification review." The political weaponization of the classification process is nothing new, is not limited to Jan. 6 obstructionism, and is but a specific case of a more general tendency of corrupt federal officials to block disclosure and cover up and justify crimes in the name of national security. In this instance, however, it is an especially ridiculous delay tactic given the agency has had years to complete the review process. How convenient that the review process is only expected to be finished after the election (but before the inauguration).

The question of informants is particularly interesting because FBI head Christopher Wray suggested to Amy Klobuchar that there were no informants. Since that exchange, it has come out that indeed the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers were littered with informants, including up to the very highest levels of these organizations.
