Tucker Carlson said some “co-conspirators” (as they were named in government pleadings) were not charged because they were undercover agents.
Undercover agents legally cannot be named as unindicted co-conspirators in a court pleading by the government, because an undercover agent acting in their official capacity is not committing the crime of conspiracy. Naming them would be perjury.
Hence, the “unindicted co-conspirators” literally cannot be undercover agents.

Yeah, that guy who tried to pause a U.S. election really was something.
