JANUARY 6: How Many Intelligence Agents Were REALLY at the Capitol?
What really happened with intelligence sources and federal agents on January 6, 2021? And how much longer could the Iran war continue? On this episode of The Truth with John Gordon, John Gordon examines some of the biggest stories involving election security, Washington, intelligence agencies, congressional accountability, and the ongoing conflict with Iran. John takes a closer look at the January 6 intelligence operation and the number of FBI sources and agents who were present in Washington and around the U.S. Capitol, including the distinction between confidential human sources, undercover employees, and other federal personnel. John also examines Senate Majority Leader John Thune's Stop Insider Trading Act, which combines a proposed ban on stock purchases by members of Congress and their immediate families with a voter ID provision. The episode also explores Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's September 2026 memorandum addressing foreign threats to the 2026 elections, including the role of U.S. intelligence and cyber capabilities in countering foreign interference. John discusses Secretary of State Marco Rubio's latest comments on Iran, the continuing U.S.-Iran conflict, the strategic issues surrounding the war, and the question of how long the Iran war could last. Rubio has publicly described preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon as a central U.S. objective.
