Newly released Jan. 6 footage does not show a federal agent flashing his badge while undercover
CLAIM: Security camera footage from Jan. 6, 2021, shows a federal agent disguised as a supporter of then-President Donald Trump during the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
CLAIM: Security camera footage from Jan. 6, 2021, shows a federal agent disguised as a supporter of then-President Donald Trump during the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The footage shows Kevin James Lyons, a Chicago man who was sentenced in July to more than four years in federal prison for his role in the attack. Multiple images of Lyons at the Capitol, dressed as he is in the footage, appear in court documents.
THE FACTS: After House Speaker Mike Johnson on Friday began releasing thousands of hours of footage from the Capitol insurrection, social media users — including members of Congress — seized on a clip they claimed proved that undercover federal agents participated in the riot.

It is unclear exactly what Lyons is holding in his right hand when he flashes his palms.
It is 100% clear what Lyons is holding in his right hand when he flashes his palms. It's a vape.
@snaptastic, don't forget to check my comment for relevancy.
Jesus. I don't even vape and I can tell what that is just from seeing people use them around town.
What's the deal with the snaptastic thing? Keep seeing it.
Since this is a politics sub, I'm sure @snaptastic would not find this topic relevant, so I will not comment on it.
Is there like a u/outoftheloop? I keep seeing this dude tagged with that comment lately.
It’s just a user who was “called out for an irrelevant comment“ and got salty, so now they’re tagging the commenter to ask if their comments are relevant.
Soooo, basically cyber bullying?
I guess so. I assume snaptastic blocked them immediately, so it doesn’t feel especially harmful, just really immature.
Good thing you didn't comment.
Great way to add to the conversation. Really made a good point about OP's post.
Jesus Christ between tagging that dude and using the tritest non-comment in history ("I bEt YoU'rE fUn At PaRtIeS") you sound exhausting as fuck
