Gateway Pundit recently published a leaked government document containing sensitive information in relation to an FBI confidential human source who had infiltrated the Proud Boys and who was present for the entire January 6 “riot,” and communicating contemporaneously with his FBI handlers.

This is a developing story and Revolver will do an extensive follow-up in the coming weeks. For now, here are a couple things to note.

While Revolver has not been able to verify the Gateway Pundit report in its entirety, we have been able to confirm the authenticity of the government documents.

Furthermore, we can add the following scoop: The Proud Boys Confidential Human Source (informant) referred to in the government documents leaked on Gateway Pundit is the very same Proud Boys informant referred to in a New York Times piece published September of last year

The leaked documents corroborate the New York Times’ coverage that the informant “maintained the group did not plan in advance to enter the Capitol and disrupt the election”

The documents also confirm the New York Times’ grudging acknowledgement that “federal law enforcement had a far greater visibility into the assault on the Capitol, even as it was taking place, than was previously known.” The Times piece acknowledges the existence of at least one more Proud Boys informant on the ground on January 6th.

Despite testimony from the FBI’s own confidential informant that there was no prior plan to attack the Capitol, many Proud Boys, including then Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and Joe Biggs (both with a history of informing to the FBI themselves), have been charged with Seditious Conspiracy.

The only remotely possible innocent excuse for this discrepancy on the government’s part is that the particular informant in question was not part of Proud Boys leadership, and would not have been privy to the leadership chats in which the alleged conspiracy took place.

If it turned out that the FBI had informants in the Proud Boys leadership chats, that would be absolutely devastating to the Federal government— as one would have to conclude either that there was no conspiracy in the first place, or that here was a conspiracy and the government did nothing to stop it.

The leaked documents provided by Gateway Pundit do however strongly suggest that this particular informant was not privy to Proud Boys leadership communications. Perhaps the best evidence of this is that the informant did not know up until the last minute that the Proud Boys designated meeting spot was the Washington Monument at 10AM (he ultimately found out, but only after asking around). According to the Proud Boys charging documents, however, the plan to meet at 10 at the Washington Monument was distributed throughout various Proud Boys group chats, including the leadership chat.

One crucial question remains unanswered. Who among the Proud Boys came up with the plan to be at the site of the initial breach near the Peace Monument at approximately 12:30 (where the Ray Epps team appeared to coordinate the initial breach of the Capitol grounds)? Revolver explores the significance of this question in its ground breaking piece exposing the still unindicted Ray Epps breach team, that according to all visual evidence appear to have actually orchestrated the initial and decisive breach of the Capitol grounds
