To be more reportative and less emphatic, I suppose.
Nevertheless, you are correct. The headline does read that a former FBI supervisor named Jared L. Wise called Capitol police officers "Nazis" and encouraged the mob [ of actual Nazis... ] to "kill 'em."
The article goes on to state that "Federal authorities have arrested at least 1,000 people in connection with the riot on Jan. 6, 2021, including multiple current and former law enforcement officers. Shortly after the attack, a top FBI official warned that many within the bureau were 'sympathetic' to the mob."
According to DOJ[1], the FBI's major priorities are to:
- Protect the United States from terrorist attack. [FAIL: Jan 6th Capitol riot]
- Protect the U.S. against foreign intelligence, espionage, and cyber operations. [FAIL: Russian and Chinese espionage + cyber operations]
- Protect the United States against cyber-based attacks and high-technology crimes. [FAIL: [2]]
- Combat significant cybercriminal activity. [FAIL: [2]]
- Combat public corruption at all levels. [FAIL: Russian and Chinese espionage + cyber operations; Facebook + Cambridge Analytica]
- Protect civil rights. [FAIL: Jan 6th Capitol riot]
- Combat transnational criminal enterprises. [FAIL: Trump family; Epstein]
- Combat significant white-collar crime. [FAIL: Trump family]
- Combat significant violent crime. [FAIL: Jan 6th Capitol riot]
