‘Kill them! Kill them! Former FBI Supervising Agent Indicted for Alleged Involvement in J6 Riot

A former supervisory FBI agent, Jared L. Wise, has been arrested and charged with multiple misdemeanors for his alleged involvement in the January 6 riot at the United States Capitol.

Wise, who was with the FBI for more than a decade, was arrested this week in Oregon. According to federal prosecutors, he called police officers “Nazis” and urged a crowd of protesters to kill them.

Wise was captured on video shouting “Kill them! Kill them! Kill them!” states the criminal complaint. He was also seen raising his arms in celebration after breaking through the building and escaping through a window.

“You guys are disgusting. I’m an ex-cop. You’re disgusting. You’re the Nazi. You’re the Gestapo. You can’t see it. Shame! Shame! Shame!” he allegedly said.

Wise worked in counterterrorism at the FBI’s New York field office from 2004 to 2017 before his career stalled due to poor job performance. He later joined the conservative group Project Veritas, where he allegedly used the code name “Bendghazi” and trained with other recruits at the Prince family ranch in Wyoming.

Wise is one of a handful of former federal agents who have been charged in connection with the attack on the Capitol. The Justice Department’s investigation has resulted in more than 1,000 arrests and more are expected.

As J. Michael Waller noted on Twitter, the criminal complaint shows that 17 armed FBI agents swarmed Wise’s home during his arrest.
