**Unraveling the January 6 Mysteries: Judicial Watch Takes on the CIA**
In a bold move that sheds light on the murky events surrounding January 6, 2021, Judicial Watch has initiated a lawsuit against the CIA to obtain records pertaining to the Capitol uprising.
The lawsuit, filed on July 24, comes as a response to the CIA's failure to comply with a Freedom of Information Act request regarding several critical aspects of the incident.
Judicial Watch's pursuit includes inquiries about shots fired within the Capitol, requests for CIA support, and the presence of bomb technicians and explosive K-9s during that tumultuous day.
Recent revelations underscore the complexity of the situation, revealing that CIA explosive technicians were involved in responding to the pipe bombs placed outside the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters on January 5, 2021. These details emerged from 88 pages of documents obtained through a separate FOIA request earlier this year.
Further complicating the narrative, text messages released from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) indicate that the CIA played a significant role in managing the pipe bomb situation. Reports noted that “two CIA bomb techs” were on-site, and several CIA dog teams were reportedly on standby.
The Department of Homeland Security’s Inspector General recently released a report which reveals startling facts: despite the Secret Service's sweep of the DNC before Vice President-elect Kamala Harris's arrival on January 6, the pipe bomb was inexplicably overlooked. Agents conducted searches that bypassed areas where the bomb was eventually found, just as chaos erupted at the Capitol.
According to the Inspector General's report, the motorcade carrying Harris came within mere feet of the bomb site.
This ongoing legal effort by Judicial Watch is significant not only for accountability but also for addressing unanswered questions that continue to linger about January 6, a day that has been heavily scrutinized and politicized across party lines.
As the story continues to unfold, the need for transparency regarding the government's actions on that day becomes increasingly paramount. The revelations call into question the narrative surrounding the Capitol riot and the roles various governmental agencies played in the events that led up to and occurred during the uprising.
Judicial Watch’s determination to hold the CIA accountable could very well be the catalyst for breaking down the barriers to understanding the complete scope of the January 6 incident.
