They didn't pick any examples, they pulled all the footage that was available off of Parler. There are plenty of footage from inside the building in that link from the rioters themselves- not sure what you mean?

I certainly remember the pipe bomb. No memory hole of that: https://www.fbi.gov/video-repository/january-5-pipe-bomb-inv...

FBI provocateurs? Citation?

> FBI provocateurs?

There were federal personnel among the rioters, but they weren't, to any evidence, either FBI or provocateurs (there were both active-duty military intelligence personnel and at least one DEI agent arrested and charged.)

"FBI provocateurs" seems to be one of the mutually contradictory stories adopted by the MAGA cult (alongside "it was a violent riot -- but by Antifa", "and it was MAGA, but it was peaceful, no different than tourism".)

This was supposed to be "DEA agent", but, you fingers do funny things sometimes.

I mean the internal Congress cctv footage that was supposed by the Jan 6th committee until forced to release it.

The FBI has admitted it had 26 informants at the protest.

Nobody has been caught for the pipe bomb and it was barely mentored for 4 years.

Ok? Your point is? The fbi also allegedly paid infiltrators into the blm protests. https://www.yahoo.com/news/fbi-paid-informant-sow-discord-00.... The fbi has a long history of infiltrating what they consider to be “extreme” groups - going back decades.

It is unacceptable that there have been no arrests for the pipe bombs. Do I think that’s evidence of some sort of deep state cover up “false flag” operation? Nope.
