I actually kind of doubt he was forced at all. These guys love cops and I could easily see them informing just because they believe the cops are on their side.

Im not insinuating they influenced it at all. I won’t say it’s out of the realm of possibility, but ultimately what does it matter if their highly placed informant didn’t give them enough warning to get ahead of Jan 6th? They may or may not have encouraged it but I doubt they were unaware. Was their inaction incompetence or were they complicit?
