> Louie Gohmert making the allegation
Weird how this person making these allegations would vote against the creation of a bipartisan commission to investigate the very claims he's making.
Not weird at all though if he were making the allegations in bad faith.

That's possible, he is a politician after all.
However, here's a civil rights lawyer's take on it and seems to echo this:

Is it not because they are still building the cases? Also that guy tried to overturn the election in late December so could he as well not be a agent provocateur? Trying to rile up members of the republican party against the newly elected president.
It makes sense not to charge the main characters, only if some of those people most combative and leading the charge, were in fact FBI informants, as has been alleged on the house floor. Subversion of a political movement, to discredit the movement by the government is a common tactic. Just hasn't been seen in the US before, other than maybe during the civil right movement.
