Capitol Rioter Thought He Recruited a 'Patriot' to his Secret Militia-It was an Undercover FBI Agent

Capitol Rioter Thought He Recruited a ‘Patriot’ to his Secret Militia – It was an Undercover FBI Agent
By News and Guts


A man who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6th had plans to continue “the revolution” by breaking his fellow rioters out of prison. He built up a supply of weapons – including an AK-47 and 50 Molotov cocktails – and formed a Bible study group that was really a front for a militia.

But Fi Duong, a 27-year-old Northern Virginia man, wasn’t the only person in his inner circle practicing deception. On the day of the riot, Duong inadvertently befriended an undercover police officer. He bragged that he was “an operator” and explained that he was wearing all-black so that he would be mistaken for a member of antifa.

The undercover cover cop stayed in touch with Duong, and weeks later, he introduced him to an undercover FBI agent. Duong provided that agent with extensive details on his movements during the riot. He didn’t realize he was helping the government build a case against him.

Duong appeared in court last week and was charged with illegally entering the Capitol, obstructing the vote count, and disorderly conduct.

According to Talking Points Memo, “the revelation that prosecutors are employing information from undercover law enforcement sources … marks a new chapter in the ongoing investigation of the Jan. 6 insurrection, six months after a pro-Trump mob attacked Congress.”

Court documents reveal that Duong invited the undercover FBI agent to meetings with his secret militia, which members of the Three Percenters had already joined.
Several members of the Three Percenters have been charged with planning the January 6 riot.

50 Molotov cocktails at your house? With those charges I bet he gets community service. WTH?

They have a pretty good idea of what's going on just about anywhere.

What's the world coming to when you can't mix Bibles and bombs safely?

You only get a few licks in .... a GOP telemarketer called me last week to ask for funds. Where they got my number? Don't know, but hope one of my friends isn't the filter ... anyway, she spiels and I tells her "Why don't you ask your party billionaires, they got all the money, you ignorant fool!" And hung up.

If they give you your 15 seconds, make the most of it. Perhaps shock therapy will cow a few.

"Who would Jesus bomb?" is a plea for explanation ... excellent.

"Trump doesn't know accounting except what he steal from you!'

Make your own. Print cards. We need to be ready to take it to the streets.

Peace.

reminiscent of the fbi infiltration of weather underground, allowed to go ahead with bombings. have to fact check my memory, it seemed like there were more than one bombings.

but the your point still stands, regardless of my memory of past analogies.

I don't think this is the last arrest resulting from that situation.

Fi Duong is apparently of Vietnamese origin, and missionaries are obsessed with spreading their Christian Cult poison to Asian populations.

Once a person buys into the Christian Cult, becoming a Republican is virtually required. Some of the most radical right wing Christians I've met, are PoC who have been converted. It's as if they feel they must work 2x as hard to "fit in" with their
Caucasian fellow cult members.
