This is the Tom Hartman program.

Welcome back, Tom Hartman here with you.

So we are learning more and more rather distressing stuff, basically, news as it were about

January 6th.

And this is not just about the attack on the Capitol.

There's a much, much larger issue here, which is the end of democracy and the end of

America.

I mean, that's literally what we're talking about here.

It turns out that, you know, based on these latest indictments, I mean, there's just jaw

dropping stuff, just as a starting point, a guy called into C-SPIN.

And he said he was Tom from Woodbridge, Virginia.

And he says, I was there on January 6th.

I work in the intelligence community and have for many, many years.

There were experienced agitators.

Now, he's not talking about the Trump fans who broke down the doors and smashed the windows

and spread smeared feces on the walls and the U.S. Capitol and damaged some of the

paintings and, you know, it's like killed five people, basically.

He's not talking about them.

He's trying to say that there were antifa people there or black lives matter people there.

He says there were experienced agitators that took advantage of a great deal of anxiety

and passion in the country and did it on purpose to defame the presidency of Donald Trump.

He says, I know that for a fact.
