A Secret Service Agent had multiple phone calls in 2020 with members of the far-right militia group the Oath Keepers

More evidence showing that the January 6th insurrection was an inside job:

Staff members of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot investigative committee have been briefed on multiple phone calls in 2020 between an agent in the Secret Service’s protective intelligence division and members of the Oath Keepers, a far-right militia group, NBC News reported Friday.

The House select committee on Friday requested from the Secret Service all records related to communications between the agency and the Oath Keepers, including any contacts leading up to and after the violent Jan. 6, 2021, invasion of the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters, NBC reported.

“Whether these Oath Keepers…had any communication with the White House’s Secret Service or otherwise, is just not the focus of the charges,” says @GlennKirschner2.

“It’s of great interest right now. I don’t think it’s a great moment with respect to the evidence of guilt.” pic.twitter.com/pylefqt25a

Congress made the request after USSS said briefings by an agent to Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes & others were routine security updates. Personally, I don't recall law enforcement briefing the Klan in advance of rallies. https://t.co/XiOE2m2wp2

As a former Deputy Assistant Director for the Secret Service. I have spoken out about the dangers to our democracy imposed by agents who have conspired w/Trump. Since then, the Secret Service has revoked my affiliation with the agency. Thank you @CarolLeonnig for your reporting.

The more we learn, the more clear it becomes that the Secret Service utterly failed to take seriously the threat posed by groups like the Oath Keepers ahead of January 6. https://t.co/me7TmLjOYA
