We saw this tweet Wednesday, but we saw that it came from NBC News’ Ken Dilanian, which means to take it with a big grain of salt. The report, however, is by Jonathan Dienst and Ryan J. Reilly, who aren’t quite as bad.
The way NBC News tells it is that an ex-FBI agent accused of urging January 6 rioters to kill police was a member of the FBI’s Homegrown Violent Extremism unit, and you all know what homegrown violent extremism is — white supremacists, the biggest domestic terror threat to our country.
The ex-FBI official who allegedly urged rioters to "kill" officers during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol was previously the supervisory special agent in charge of Homegrown Violent Extremism for the FBI New York Field Office's Joint Terrorism Task Force. https://t.co/y3GsAxDaS7

Has he been charged, or was he there in a professional capacity? NBC News reports:
Jared Wise was arrested in Oregon this week, charged with four misdemeanor counts. After he entered the Capitol and exited through a broken window, an FBI affidavit alleges, Wise yelled at officers outside the Capitol.
“You’re disgusting. You are the Nazi. You are the Gestapo. You can’t see it,” he yelled, according to the bureau. “Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you!”
As officers were knocked down in front of him, Wise turned toward the violence and started yelling again, according to the FBI.
“Yeah, f— them! Yeah, kill ’em!” Wise said, according to the FBI. “Kill ’em! Kill ’em! Kill ’em!”
Wise, according to a senior law enforcement official, served in the homegrown violent extremism role from 2014 to 2017.

What did Ray Epps do?

Liberals reckon that all of his exposure to right-wing terrorist groups on the job probably radicalized him.
