Internet tells Clay Higgins to 'give it up' as Rep determined to prove FBI involvement in Jan 6 attack

WASHINGTON, DC: Republican lawmaker Clay Higgins revealed he is determined to prove the involvement of FBI agents in the January 6, 2021, insurrection on Capitol Hill as Congress was voting to formalize Joe Biden's 2020 presidential election victory.

In his latest interview with the Truth in Media online platform's program, 'The Rest of the Story with Lara Logan', Higgin said that he believed FBI agents were present in two buses in Union Station in DC on January 6. "I feel very, very confident that everybody that was on those two buses was FBI assets, and I have a high degree of beilef that they were actual FBI agents."

Higgins was the first to put forward the latest "ghost bus" conspiracy theory that alleged FBI informants traveled to DC in white-painted buses. According to him, the two "ghost buses" that came to the Union Station that day were filled with FBI informants disguised as Trump supporters.

Clay Higgins stands firm on his belief that the FBI planned the riot

Higgins, an Army veteran and former police officer without the support of any substantial evidence, claimed that the senior FBI officials were the ones who orchestrated the insurrection.

"My objective conclusion is that senior officials at the FBI were deeply involved there. You had a combination of FBI confidential informants, either registered and unregistered or volunteer informants or actual FBI agents dependent upon the group and how significant the group was. Like the agents inserted and said Proud Boys groups say that we're going to come to DC," he said.

The Trump-supporting lawmaker emphasized that the occupants of the two buses were part of the FBI. "Those are most probably actual FBI agents, whereas some you know random Facebook group of Patriots from Arizona or something was most likely and informant so," Higgins added.

What is Clay Higgins' 'ghost bus' conspiracy theory?

The 'ghost bus' is the latest in the myriad of conspiracy theories put forth by Trump supporters who believe he won the 2020 election.

Based on reports Higgins first put out his conspiracy theory of "ghost buses" in November during a hearing with FBI director Christopher Wray allegedly claiming the involvement of the Justice Department's involvement in the Capitol riots.

According to the Louisiana Congressman, "ghost vehicles" are used for "secret purposes." During the hearing, he pointed out pictures of buses completely painted in White. He said, "These buses are nefarious in nature and were filled with FBI informants dressed as Trump supporters deployed unto our Capitol on January 6."

Internet criticizes Clay Higgins for making baseless claims

Netizens are irked by the GOP lawmakers' unsubstantiated allegations about the origin of the January 6 insurrection. Many demanded that he should prove his theories with evidence.

One user said, "They always tell a lie."

Another user mocked the Congressman, saying, "And he has evidence! He read it on a Qanon post."

"Geezuz .. give it up," remarked an annoyed user.

Another user added, "Hasn't he had almost 3 years to proven what nothing talk is cheap."

"If hasn't found proof in 3 years there isn't any such thing," said one user.

Another reaction read, "They lie with ease."

"Think about that. “Determined to prove.” This means he can find no evidence (because, of course it didn’t happen), but is hellbent on making it so," stated another user.
