f·b·i monitoring of activist movements 

« Most of the federal informants who have emerged from criminal cases related to Jan. 6 were not tasked by their handlers with spying on right-wing subjects — let alone with seeking to entrap Trump supporters into storming the Capitol. They were mostly far-right figures who were recruited by the F.B.I. to report on their adversaries in the far-left antifa movement. »

they’re using this as evidence to debunk the conspiracy theory that jan 6th rioters were provoked by the f·b·i but uhhh it’s kind of concerning in its own right
