      The fact the FBI had several informants in the Proud Boys is public knowledge. The FBI is well known for “encouraging” radical Muslims to commit terrorism in the US so not surprisingly they’d do the same with right wing groups. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/exclusive-before-jan-6-fbi-collected-information-least-4-proud-boys-2021-04-26/ https://www.reuters.com/world/us/exclusive-before-jan-6-fbi-...

        The FBI seemed to consider the right wingers to be the good guys; the common adversary was the anti-fascists.
