A new undercover video shared on social media purports to show a former FBI official boasting about how agents can “put anyone in jail.”
The man, who is now working for the CIA, bragged that the FBI could jail anyone on a “nudge” in the video montage by a group called Sound Investigations. He also said there were about 20 undercover FBI agents in the crowd at the protests at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
WOW. Former FBI agent says they entrap Americans and admits they had FBI agents embedded in the crowd on January 6th. https://t.co/TTA9zzp8Gw

Caught on hidden camera, Gavin O’Blennis, who identifies himself as a Contracting Officer for the CIA, talked about methods used by the FBI.
“You can kinda put anyone in jail if you know what to do … You set ‘em up,” he told the undercover journalist. “You create the situation where they have no choice but to act on their impulse, and once they act on that impulse, some would call that entrapment.”
“Does the Bureau practice entrapment a lot?” the journalist asked.
“We get really close … we get as close as we can,” O’Blennis replied.
“You put a post out there or you have some fake profile say something that triggers, that we know is going to trigger them, right?” O’Blennis continued. “Like we already know your history. If we’re at that point we already know everything about you. So we’re like ‘Oh this will piss him off.’ Sometimes you just light the fuse and wait for it to follow.”
“Nothing like putting out a fake social media thing to like really get people mad,” O’Blennis can be heard saying, pointing to Alex Jones as an example of someone targeted. “We were after him hardcore.”
He said Jones is no longer a target “because he’s broke. He got found guilty and had to pay like a hundred million dollars,” agreeing that the goal was to “bankrupt him,” responding, “pretty much,” when asked directly by the undercover reporter.
“There’s nothing federally we can do … but civilly you can go at him that way and chop his legs off,” O’Blennis added. “We did what we wanted … took his money away. We shut him up for a while.”
The CIA official also pinned blame on former President Donald Trump for inciting a riot at the Capitol on January 6.
“I thought you said that there were FBI agents in the crowd at J6?” the undercover journalist asked him.
“There are, there always are when there’s a big protest in DC, just in case it gets out of hand like that,” O’Blennis replied. “There wasn’t enough to turn that tide.”
“I’m talking we maybe had 20. You needed 1,000 to get rid of that crowd,” he said. “Just to go through, to observe, to see what they can hear, you know that kind of thing.”
“Do people know that the Bureau was in the crowd?” the Sound Investigations journalist asked.
“Nope, and they probably never will,” O’Blennis replied.
